Muscle Maker, Inc. Reports Top Line Revenue Over $58.9 Million for April 2023

 

Fort Worth, Texas, June 1, 2023 (ACCESSWIRE) — Muscle Maker, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRIL), (the “Company”), today announced that it has achieved top line revenue of over $58.9 million for the month of April 2023. This revenue announcement marks the achievement of six consecutive months above $50 million revenue for the company and demonstrates continued success of Sadot LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary, with a total revenue since inception in November 2022 of over $418 million.

 

“April’s results reflect our continued growth in the global supply chain of Agri-commodities,” stated Michael Roper, CEO. “Sadot’s continues to generate significant top line contribution and increasing exposure to the global markets and players within. In addition to our trading activities, we recently announced the acquisition of the 5,000-acre (approx.) grain and fruit farm in Zambia, which we believe represents the next step of building the foundations for growth and diversification into additional verticals in the supply-chain. The farm, located in the Mkushi region of Zambia, is expected to generate revenues by the end of harvest season in 2023.

 

As stated in prior updates, we are committed to continue keeping investors informed of our ongoing company evolution, since the announcement of the creation of our Sadot, LLC division. We have been attending several investor conferences and looking to more directly engage with our current and potential new shareholders, retail and institutional.”

About Muscle Maker, Inc.

 

In late 2022, Muscle Maker began its evolution from a consumer-focused, U.S. restaurant business into a global, food-focused organization with two distinct business units:

 

Sadot LLC

 

Muscle Maker’s largest operating unit is its newly-created subsidiary, Sadot LLC. Sadot is an international agri-foods company engaged in trading and shipping food (and feed) commodities such as soybean meal, wheat and corn. Sadot was formed in partnership with Aggia LLC FZ, a Dubai based, international consulting firm that provides services to companies operating in the global food supply chain.

 

MMI Restaurant Group

 

Muscle Maker’s legacy business is our limited collection of 50+ restaurants, including Pokémoto Hawaiian Poké & Boba Tea and Muscle Maker Grill, and our subscription, fresh-prep meal service, Superfit Foods, with 30+ points of distribution plus in-home and national delivery. All three concepts compete in the growing healthier-for-you segment. National franchise development of the Pokémoto concept is the key growth driver with more than –50+ franchise units already in the pipeline.
