Signing marks largest franchise deal to date for Pokemoto division; growth rate increases over 200% since acquisition

LEAGUE CITY, TEX., Dec. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Muscle Maker, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: GRIL) newest subsidiary Pokemoto, a 19-location and growing poke bowl concept known for its healthier modern culinary twist on a traditional Hawaiian poke classic, announced today that it has signed a 15 site franchise agreement in Massachusetts, fueling the chain’s growth rate to over 200% since its acquisition in May, 2021. With this new agreement, Pokemoto has now signed 21 franchise agreements over the last 45 days. Recently signed franchise agreements were in New York, Massachusetts and Mississippi. Pokemoto currently has open locations in six states – Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Georgia, Maryland and Virginia. This 15-unit franchise agreement represents Pokemoto’s largest franchise agreement signed to date.

The 15-unit franchise agreement is an exclusive development agreement for Worcester and Middlesex, Massachusetts counties. These counties represent the first and second most populous counties in Massachusetts. Both counties have numerous colleges and universities which fit the Pokemoto demographic of Millennial and Gen-Z consumers and are a focal point of the brand’s real estate team. Pokemoto currently has two locations open in Franklin and North Attleboro, Massachusetts.

The 21 new franchise agreements, when opened, will bring the Pokemoto chain to 40 locations: expanding the chain’s footprint over 200% since its acquisition in May 2021. Muscle Maker, Inc. announced that the company recently raised 15M in a private placement with plans to focus on its strategy of franchise growth for its Pokemoto division.

“One of our internal goals at the time of the acquisition in May 2021 was to pursue significant growth and the signed 15-pack in Massachusetts, along with the previously announced 6 deals, provides a solid foundation for these plans,” said Mike Roper, CEO of Muscle Maker, Inc. “Our management team brings vast experience in areas of operations, franchising, real estate, distribution and marketing, which was key in inking this 15-pack deal. Expanding the Pokemoto locations via franchising efforts and through corporately owned locations, to ultimately accelerate our top line sales, is the main goal. Our recent capital raise of 15M has provided us with the resources to execute our strategy allowing us to pursue our goals on all cylinders. The Pokemoto concept is new and trendy and we believe that our added buying power, expertise in franchising and site selection, operations and marketing and additional resources presents a unique, low cost of entry opportunity for prospective franchisees.”
