Los Angeles, CA – March 30, 2017 — Big Cheese, Inc. (the “Company”), owner of the worldwide intellectual property rights and related trademarks of the Grilled Cheese Truck (“GCT”), a gourmet chef-driven food truck and restaurant brand expanding to the national and global marketplace, today is thrilled to announce that following an outpouring of support from social media, the Company has reached $100,000 in investor commitments in its current Title III Equity Crowdfunding Offering on First Democracy VC, a registered equity crowdfunding portal and partnership between MicroVentures and Indiegogo.
More than 250 investors have joined the mission to bring the Grilled Cheese Truck’s award-winning gourmet brand to cities and towns worldwide.
“The Grilled Cheese Truck’s fundraise is going well because investors love the brand, and recognize the strength and simplicity of our business model and plan for growth in the booming fast-casual restaurant market,” said Al Hodges, Chief Executive Officer and President of Big Cheese Inc., dba the Grilled Cheese Truck. “We are a mission-oriented company with a superior product, a cult-following, an experienced executive team and the opportunity to bring GCT into thousands of untapped marketplaces across the country and the world through our franchise program. Our investors care and want to help make it happen. We couldn’t be more pleased with the turnout.”
“We live in a time of unparalleled choice in cheese and food culture. People everywhere have developed broad tastes and brand preferences. But some things, a few things, are universal – like the utter and complete satisfaction of a great grilled cheese sandwich,” said executive chef David Danhi, founder and Chief Creative Officer of the Grilled Cheese Truck. “Our loyal customer and fan base know this universal satisfaction. The outpourings of love and support shown from our customers, fans, and grilled cheese enthusiasts throughout this campaign has been amazing to say the least, and it’s because of them that this crowdfunding capital raise is a success.”
Funds raised in the current Grilled Cheese Truck Title III Equity Crowdfunding offering will go towards the working capital required to effectively expand the GCT brand across the country and across the globe. Investors should be aware that this offering is being conducted by Big Cheese, Inc. and is not related to the company American Patriot Brands or the ticker symbol “GRLD.”
The Grilled Cheese Truck, as a show of gratitude to its current campaign investors, recently amplified its perks across the board. Investors of all sizes now get more free stuff just for investing in the Company’s Title III offering on MicroVentures.com.
The Grilled Cheese Truck started in Los Angeles in 2009, quickly became a cult-favorite among the sandwich-savvy, winning awards and commanding hour-long (or longer) lines wherever the trucks parked and fired up the grill. Now, the Grilled Cheese Truck is on a mission to bring its menu packed full of delicious classic and innovative, gourmet grilled cheese sandwich variations to cities and towns throughout the country and the world.
The Grilled Cheese Truck’s quest for global sandwich domination will initially target highly populated, “foodie” cities, such as New York City and Washington, DC, as well as college towns, where the young and hungry regularly storm the streets in search of pre-game sustenance and midnightmunchies.
