Giggles N'''''''' Hugs Inc. (fka GIGL)

[mrdrifter]

Before I get going, let’s remember Joey changed his compensation earlier this year which included this:
The employment agreement also contains covenants prohibiting Mr. Parsi from disparaging the Company or any of our officers, directors, employees or agents for a period of two years after his employment ends.

“The same business broker has also been tasked with finding an investor and/or investor groups that could potentially become minority or majority shareholders, with an investment that would provide the necessary expansion capital to execute on previously announced plans. The engagement is early stage and no parties have yet been identified.”

Don’t forget "The Company has also spoken to a number of other companies in different industries that would complement and be synergistic with expansion goals.”
