  • “We have taken several successful steps in our shift to diversify our U.S.-centric restaurant business towards a more globally focused food organization,” said Muscle Maker CEO Michael Roper.
  • “The Farm acquisition, when closed, is expected to further accelerate our growth as a related diversified holding company and to provide MMI shareholders exposure to our enhanced and expanding portfolio.”
  • The company held $6.4 million in cash and equivalents as of March 31, 2023.
  • Price Action: GRIL shares are trading higher by 0.02% at $1.11 on the last check Monday.
