The company intends to use a portion of the proceeds in opening an estimated 30 ghost kitchens. Michael Roper, CEO of Muscle Maker, Inc. stated “We believe the restaurant industry has changed due to Covid-19 and non-traditional locations along with delivery and ghost kitchens are the new norm. Ghost kitchens represent a unique opportunity to expand and grow the brand presence across major metropolitan areas throughout the U.S. at a significantly lower cost of capital and at a rapid pace. We currently have ghost kitchen locations in the Chicago market and recently announced plans to expand into the Philadelphia market with more cities on the way. This capital raise gives us the potential to open or acquire up to 30-35 locations, depending on their location. We are very excited about these potential growth possibilities and combined with the recently announced REEF Kitchens agreement believe we should have a full pipeline of new locations in the coming months.”About Muscle Maker GrillFounded in 1995 in Colonia, New Jersey, Muscle Maker Grill features high quality, great tasting food, freshly prepared with proprietary recipes.
