ENOUGH SAID, RIGHT? Can't wait for the "damn, I wish I bought..." $$$GIGL$$$

Unless you think maybe the stock goes down to .03, in which case you can buy 2.5x more shares.

For me, I don't really put much stock in the price I enter as I know that timing the market is near impossible to do perfectly on a consistent basis.

As long as I get in a price that I think is fair, and I only buy a half position so I can afford to average down if necessary, whether it's .03 or .25 is moot. I invest so I plan to hold my GIGL for at least 5 or 10 years, unless something fundamentally alters my investment thesis.

I hope that in 10 years, Giggles will have at least 40 locations and will be a household name for most of the country, much like Dave and Busters or Chuck E Cheese is today.

$GIGL ~ Giggles N’ Hugs’ Engages PacificShore Ventures to Explore M&A Opportunities
Apr 24, 2017

Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (OTCQB: GIGL), owner and operator of family-friendly restaurants that bring together high-end, organic food with active, cutting-edge play and entertainment for children, has engaged PacificShore Ventures (PacificShore), a global specialty finance and M&A firm, to explore potential synergistic acquisition opportunities.


“Those that have followed Giggles N’ Hugs know that we have plans to develop and launch a full line of complementary merchandise under our growing brand. This relationship with PacificShore could help us jump-start this segment of our business,” commented Joey Parsi, CEO. “Acquisition targets that we plan to look at could include food companies, with established distribution, that expedite the launch of our frozen food line of pizzas, pastas, and other kids’ meals in which we infuse healthiness by pureeing vegetables and hiding it in kids favorite meals, similar to what California Pizza Kitchen and Wolfgang Puck have done with their frozen meals that are available at the local supermarket.”


"Because of the generous tenant improvements we are being offered by the biggest mall owners in the country, our focus is and will remain with opening new locations where mall owners pay for most if not all the build out costs, however we could also look at other play spaces that host birthday parties, children’s clothing companies, toy manufacturers, or even other restaurant concepts that could be either synergistic and or easily converted to a Giggles N Hugs location,” Parsi stated. "Our current plan is to have the existing management teams of any acquired company stay in place so that we are not distracted from our priority of growing our footprint.”


The Company is targeting companies which are cash flow positive and have minimum annual revenue of $5 million or more. PacificShore has been tasked with identifying and creating target company profiles, introducing, initiating negotiations, and ultimately facilitating the closing of such potential companies and to introduce traditional banking relationships for the Company to fund the acquisitions.


"We are excited to work with Giggles N’ Hugs and explore opportunities in the M&A world to accelerate their growth. We believe Giggles is in the right position and has the right management to acquire and integrate companies to benefit their shareholders in the short and long term," Mason Habib, Founder & Managing Partner of PacificShore Ventures, stated.


“If and when we complete an acquisition, we anticipate that it will allow us to expedite our plans to up list to a national exchange as well as being accretive to our top and bottom line numbers,” Parsi stated. “Driving shareholder value will be a key focus as we explore potential acquisition targets with PacificShore. Executed well, this strategy should positively impact our growth prospects in the near-term,” concluded Parsi.
