"Building upon the strong interest in Heal from existing provinces under area development contracts such as Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, P.E.I., Newfoundland and Labrador, we are thrilled to complete a coast to coast area development blanket for our first ever brand at Happy Belly, solidifying our national footprint with the addition of Manitoba to our development list. Our emerging brand portfolio now has 606 units under development agreements across 10 provinces, clearly setting the path forward for several years of predictable organic growth for Happy Belly," said Sean Black, Chief Executive Officer of Happy Belly.
"As our Heal brand continues to expand across Canada, today's announcement highlights our ability to scale emerging brands. With multiple locations in simultaneous construction, and more on the way for 2025, we are realizing significant growth thanks to our ability to open corporate stores as well as franchised locations in parallel paths. Leveraging our area developer model and our team's expertise, we have positioned Heal with first-mover advantage as Canada's first true national smoothie bowl brand."
Manitoba offers a unique blend of urban vibrancy and community spirit, making it an ideal province to expand our Heal Wellness brand. Winnipeg, its largest city, boasts a dynamic food scene with a diverse customer base eager for fresh, innovative dining options. The province's competitive real estate market enables cost-effective expansion in key urban centers, while a strong sense of local pride supports businesses that bring something new to the table. Residents value quality and authenticity, and a smoothie bowl and ACAI QSR would be well-poised to capture their interest. Additionally, Manitoba's favorable economic conditions and growing culinary culture create significant opportunities for rapid growth, positioning the chain to become a local favorite across major cities. Ultimately, Manitoba's blend of economic potential, community engagement, and urban energy makes it a strategic choice for our Heal Wellness brand.
"Our overarching strategy has always been to focus on the development and growth of emerging brands within the food sector. Anticipating the continued rollout of our franchising initiative, we expect new locations to contribute to the company's overall revenue and profitability."
We are just getting started.
