Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2024) - Happy Belly Food Group Inc. (CSE: HBFG) (OTCQB: HBFG) ("Happy Belly" or the "Company"), a leading consolidator of emerging food brands is pleased to announce it has signed a franchisee for its eight (8th) location of Rosie's Burgers ("Rosie's"), a boutique QSR restaurant brand serving original recipe smash burgers, poutine, onion rings, milkshakes and more, for the city of Vaughan, Ontario.

Rosie's Burgers
"Vaughan, Ontario, is an excellent location for a Rosie's Burger's restaurant due to its vibrant and growing community. As one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, Vaughan boasts a diverse population with a mix of families, young professionals, and tourists. The city is known for its thriving retail and entertainment sectors, including popular destinations like Vaughan Mills and Canada's Wonderland, which attract significant foot traffic. Additionally, Vaughan's well-developed infrastructure and accessibility via major highways make it a convenient dining destination. The city's commitment to supporting local businesses and its dynamic culinary scene further enhance its appetite for a successful burger restaurant in this bustling area.
"We look forward to continuing our accelerated growth both organically with our current brands and inorganically through strategic M&A. The rapidly evolving expansion of the Rosie's brand exemplifies our ability to deliver accelerated organic growth as our franchise program consistently and reliably produces results. Our model provides franchisees with a blueprint for success, minimizing the risks typically associated with entrepreneurship.
"Our overarching strategy has always been to focus on the development and growth of emerging brands within the food sector. Anticipating the continued rollout of our franchising initiative, we expect these new franchised locations to contribute to the company's overall revenue and profitability. We are just getting started."
