"Following a very successful opening in Griffintown last month by our franchisee, Pietro Maio and his partner Lucio Carlomusto, they have decided to become multi-unit franchisees of Heal and increased their commitment to Happy Belly with an additional 10 Heal Wellness units. Pietro also has a multi-unit agreement with his partners at Carma Hospitality for 10 Rosie's Burgers locations. It is an incredible feeling when franchisees place such trust in Happy Belly's brands that they become both multi-unit and multi-brand franchisees. I have known Pietro for many years, and when his partner Lucio discovered Heal there was no way these guys were going to miss the opportunity to be part of the brand in Quebec. This marks Happy Belly's third major agreement in Quebec, underscoring our commitment to accelerating development in the province," said Sean Black, Chief Executive Officer of Happy Belly."

"With 41 locations now open and more than 167 in development, Heal remains a key driver of growth within Happy Belly's broader portfolio of 686 contractually committed retail franchise locations across multiple emerging brands in various stages of development, construction, and operation. We continue to build a predictable and disciplined growth engine designed to create long-term shareholder value."
