Truxmart (soon to be WorkSport) is a viable revenue producing company and subsidiary of Franchise Holdings International. This company has taken aim at the 3-4 billion dollar truck accessories industry. During the past year, FNHI has executed an ambitious undertaking in creating a virtually debt free company with a significant amount of notes successfully written off as of 7/17/17. The operation has been privately funded largely by Gunpowder Capital and has become instrumental in the growth prospects of the company.
The pursuits of FNHI are focused on becoming one of the leading companies in the trucking/tonneau cover industry, steadily and thunderously announcing itself as the behemoth in this industry.
Steven Rossi will proceed with private placement funding. These funds will allow inventory to increase and strategic partnerships to blossom. Opportunities to increase negotiations/deals with OEM truck companies which would use the covers as a prepaid add-on feature in trucks made by Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, etc, is also a unique approach that Steven will pursue. The possibility of such contracts is not only realistic with the demand of hybrid/electric trucks on the rise, but also one that will benefit the truck companies greatly—many of these companies already outsource their tonneau cover productions to inferior third party companies. Also in the works is a undisclosed company pulling in 1.5 billion in revenue one meeting has been held with promise of more to come. It is assumed that private placement funding will place (WorkSport) in range of working with this 1.5 billion dollar giant.
FNHI has given subtle hints regarding the eventual listing on the CSE as it attracts new investors from the Canadian market. This is crucial to understand. The CSE is a prestigious exchange that allows institutional investors in Canada, retail investors interested in dual exchange companies, and investors interested in tax benefits and capital tax reductions of up to 50% to invest in FNHI. Moreover, the outstanding shares will be shared among the OTC and CSE market. In other words, the current share structure will be at the same level, providing access to a brand new market of investors. This alone should have a significant impact on the share price.
Steven Rossi explains, “…share count won't change on CSE listing. By that time, share count [should] be at 123 million as private placement and reduction [of shares] will be completed at the same time.”
The potential for a buyout at this point would prove beneficial for corporations seeking a healthy company with virtually no debt and innovative industry standard tonneau covers for almost all trucks on the market.

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - September 22, 2017) - Steven Rossi, CEO of Franchise Holdings International, Inc., the parent company of Truxmart LTD Inc., (OTC PINK: FNHI), an innovative manufacturer of high quality, functional, and aggressively priced tonneau covers for the light truck market, has retired 100,000,000 FNHI common shares, reducing the issued and outstanding shares by approximately 45 percent, from 222,000,000 to 122,000,000 shares. The OTC Markets site should be updated to reflect the new share structure within one week following this announcement.
Rossi characterized this move as "a major step forward." It should further assist FNHI's ambitious growth plan and add to its quest to create a sound and debt-free balance sheet. This action comes while management works diligently to file its Form 10-Qs for the first two quarters of 2017. The company expects to be current within the coming weeks.

Their first generation design cover and latest patented electricity producing solar panel cover are examples of innovative products that are long overdue in the trucking industry. These trucks feature Li-ion battery packs coupled to an internal combustion generator delivering nearly 100 miles of all-electric driving and extended range with hybrid efficiency. Patented and ready for launch, the Helios cover will pave a new industry standard in tonneau covers. The key element of this cover is the elegant design and high quality cover, that may catch the eye of electric car company’s such as TESLA or Toyota who would benefit greatly from a partnership or possible buyout of Worksport.As of this date, the Company through Mr. Rossi has obtained one U.S. Patent. In addition, the Company retained patent counsel in October 2014 to file two provisional U.S. patent applications, also in this arena. Truxmart has paid $7,718 since approximately October 26, 2012, toward the costs of obtaining US Patent 8,814,249 - System for securing a truck bed cover, (filed October 26, 2012, granted May 1, 2014). This patent is owned by Steven Rossi, previously the sole stockholder of Truxmart. Under an exclusive license agreement between the Company and Mr. Rossi, dated November 26, 2014, Truxmart has the right to commercialize this patent.
It is my own personal opinion that this company's share value will be in the $1.00 range in 12 to 14 months. With proper investment opportunities even sooner. I encourage you to ponder being a part of private placement. At the moment of this article the share price is .036 the announcement of share retirement has not been reflected in market price since the announcement was after trading hours Friday. It is severely undervalued and bears immediate analysis.
