Muscle Maker, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRIL), a prominent player in the global food supply chain sector, has undergone significant transformation and expansion over recent years. Originally focused on the U.S. restaurant business, Muscle Maker has evolved into a diversified, global food-focused organization, operating through its two main business units: Sadot LLC and the MMI Restaurant Group.
Sadot LLC, the company's largest operating unit, was formed in partnership with Aggia LLC FZ and focuses on international trading and shipping of food and feed commodities such as soybean meal, wheat, and corn. Recently, Sadot expanded its operations into North, Central, and South America, facilitated by a strategic agreement with Buenaventura Trading LLC. This expansion has significantly enhanced the company's geographic reach and strengthened its position in the global commodity trading industry.
The MMI Restaurant Group operates over 50 restaurants, including concepts such as Pokémoto Hawaiian Poké & Boba Tea and Muscle Maker Grill. These restaurants and the fresh-prep meal service, Superfit Foods, cater to the growing 'healthier-for-you' market segment. The National franchise development of Pokémoto is a key growth driver, with over 50 franchise units already in the 2023 pipeline.
Muscle Maker's achievements include its recent addition to the Russell Microcap® Index, reflecting the company's strategic advancements and financial performance, notably a 7000% increase in year-over-year top-line revenue in Q1 2023. The company's subsidiary, Sadot LLC, has generated over $500 million in total revenue since its inception in November 2022.
An essential part of Muscle Maker's growth strategy is its commitment to sustainability and innovation. The recent appointment of David Errington, an expert in the sustainability and environmental sector, to the Board of Directors underscores this commitment.
The company's financial condition remains robust, with positive net income and consistent revenue growth. The recent amendment to the services agreement with Aggia LLC FZ is expected to enhance profit potential by reducing non-cash stock-based expenses by 50%, thus improving bottom-line results.
Muscle Maker continues to grow in size, diversity of operations, and financial strength while maintaining its original principles of sourcing and providing healthier food options. For more information, please visit www.musclemakerinc.com.
