Fort Worth, Texas, April 18, 2023 (ACCESSWIRE) — Muscle Maker, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRIL), (the “Company”), today announced that it has achieved top line revenue of over $93.8 million for the month of March 2023. This revenue announcement marks the achievement of five consecutive months above $50 million 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 $360 million.
We are extremely pleased with March’s revenue results,” stated Michael Roper, CEO. “Sadot’s consistent top line contribution continues to reflect the execution on our strategic vision for our company. I see these results, along with other strategic actions, as a foundation for our future growth and diversification within the global food supply chain. In addition, we recently announced that we have instituted a share repurchase program in an effort to continue creating incremental value for our shareholders. 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 will be attending several investor conferences and looking to more directly engage with our current and potential new shareholders, retail and institutional. We look forward to reporting our financials for Q1 in the coming weeks.”

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 45 franchise units already in the pipeline.
