Gourmet Provisions International Corp. (GMPR) Announces Corporate Update

Pittsburgh, PA, July 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gourmet Provisions International Corporation (OTC Pink: GMPR) today announced a corporate update from its President and CEO James C. Vowler.

According to Vowler, Gourmet Provisions International Corporation: “Below is a full update of all of the great opportunities GMPR has accomplished and is working on, with detailed explanations of delays and issues that we have faced and the solutions we have implemented. We appreciate and value our loyal shareholders and we have a bias expectation that their loyalty will be greatly rewarded as we accomplish our corporate goals".

Corporate Update Highlights:
Finalize the pre audits, audited financials with M&K CPAS, PLLC to finish the necessary financial statements for uplisting to NASDAQ, hire fulltime CFO; Acquisition of Black Rock Bar & Grill; Pizza Fusion deal with US Military; Cousin T’s expansion into retail and introduction of new products; Jose Madrid Salsa into food distributor McAneny Foods; PopsyCakes partnered with $16 million Chocolate company in Pittsburgh.

Audits:
As of today, GMPR engaged the services of Rick Weiner to finalize the pre audits, finish the necessary financial statements for uplisting to NASDAQ and potentially become our fulltime CFO. GMPR has paid M&K CPAS, PLLC of Houston, TX, their required $25,000 fee to finalize and sign off on the audits when completed.

The delays in the pre audits were the result of two factors: Black Rock was suppose to supply GMPR with their financial statements by October 1st, 2021 we received the financials late January 2022; Second attributing factor for completion of the pre audits, after partial review of the Jose Madrid Salsa Financial statements the previously engaged pre auditor determined they needed to be reconstructed and their six digit proposed fee was more than the cost of an annual salary of a fulltime CFO. Solution, we have received the complete Black Rock financial statements and complimentarily paperwork and we have engaged Mr. Weiner to complete the necessary pre audits in a timely manor.

Black Rock Bar & Grill GMPR signed a letter of intent to purchase multiple Black Rock Bar & Grill locations and we are currently in review and finalizing non-toxic, non-diluting funding to close the Black Rock deal. We are doing our due diligence and expect to close on 3 Florida locations and Master Franchising rights for the states of Georgia & Pennsylvania this quarter. We had the funding in place to close the Black Rock deal in the 4th quarter 2021, delays in receiving the financial statements from Black Rock and a downturn in the market caused us to seek out other funding sources.

About Black Rock Bar & Grill:

Where the Sizzle all Began

It all started on October 27, 2010 in Hartland, Michigan, a small town in a very tightly bonded-community.

Black Rock Bar & Grill opened its doors and brought with it a dining experience unlike any other. By pairing family recipes, a 755-degree volcanic stone, and a love for food, the Morganroth family knew they were a perfect fit for the restaurant industry; however, they had no prior restaurant experience, working only off their dream of what Black Rock could become.

With a very determined family and help from the community, Black Rock grew into something remarkable. Voted the #1 steakhouse in Michigan for three consecutive years, the family in 2013 entered a nationwide competition to be named “America’s Next Top Restaurant Franchise” and won first place! Today, Black Rock is expanding across the nation. We are home grown, and soon to be nationally known.

Steak COOKED TO perfection BY YOU

Welcome to Black Rock Bar & Grill, an award-winning steakhouse specializing in Certified Angus Beef ® steaks served and cooked to perfection by you on a 755-degree volcanic sizzling rock. Our concept ensures that every bite is just as hot and juicy as the first, and is always cooked just the way you like it!

This method of cooking is the newest phenomenon in the culinary world. It creates a memorable dining experience, making Black Rock the ideal restaurant for special occasions, as well as for everyday dining with friends and family.

About Terrence Williams & Cousin T’s:

Growing up in foster care I always dreamed about big family gatherings around the breakfast table with grandma in the kitchen cooking up a big family breakfast. As a kid I could almost smell that intoxicating aroma of those delicious hot and fluffy pancakes smothered in butter and warm maple syrup. I always told myself that one day I would make those fabulous pancakes and as an adult I have cultivated my love for cooking and my passion for food into my Cousin T's collection. It is my hope that there are many family conversations, laughs and lasting memories made as a result of families and loved ones joining together to eat Cousin T's pancakes. So quit reading and gather around the table and enjoy a good helping of American old-fashioned family values and a yummy and hearty meal because that's what Cousin T's is all about!

Terrence K. Williams is an actor, entrepreneur and comedian, with a passion to perform.
