According to company disclosures, it has been associated with fast food restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, travel centers, and, more recently, women’s intimate apparel through corporate acquisitions and subsidiaries.

Business model and holding structure

The company describes itself as a holding company that pursues mergers and acquisitions. In prior updates, CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. reported operating through its wholly owned subsidiary 1780 Management Group, Inc., a Georgia company specialized in acquiring and expanding convenience stores (with and without gas stations), restaurants, and travel centers. 1780 Management Group, Inc. has been presented as the main operating platform for hospitality, fuel, and retail locations.

In a later corporate development, CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. announced that it completed a transaction to acquire Shibue Couture, Inc., a California corporation. Shibue Couture, Inc. is described as a Huntington Beach, California-based designer, manufacturer, and seller of women’s intimate apparel, known for its Shibue “No-Line” Strapless Panty. Following this transaction, Shibue Couture, Inc. is expected to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc., and the company stated that, as a result of the acquisition, it is no longer a shell entity.

Industry focus and operating areas

Company communications have emphasized a focus on the hospitality and retail segment through restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, and travel centers. In earlier updates, CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. highlighted that its portfolio, through 1780 Management Group, Inc., involves fast food restaurants and travel centers that combine hospitality, fuel, and retail services. The company has also referenced operating both national brand franchises and its own proprietary brands in the fast casual dining and related spaces.

In addition, CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. has disclosed activity in acquiring a Wayback Burgers branded casual dining/fast food restaurant located in Braselton, Georgia, and has discussed plans related to additional restaurants, convenience stores, and gas station locations, as well as travel centers, through its operating subsidiary. These statements describe an approach built around acquiring and developing multiple units within these segments, subject to access to capital and other conditions.

Corporate transactions and change of control

The company has reported several significant corporate events. In a prior business combination agreement, CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. announced that it would become the holding company for Coke Hunter Hospitality Group, Inc., a business involved in travel centers, gas stations, convenience stores, and casual dining/fast food operations. Coke Hunter Hospitality Group, Inc. is controlled by 1780 Management Group, Inc., which aligns with CTR’s stated focus on these operating areas.

Subsequently, CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. disclosed a change of control transaction in which controlling shareholders sold their interests in the company to Financial Capital Group LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. In connection with that transaction, a new controlling party was identified, and changes in officers and directors were reported. The company referred investors to a supplemental disclosure for additional details on that change of control.

Transition from shell company status

CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. has been identified in market data as a shell company in the financial services sector. However, in its announcement regarding the acquisition of Shibue Couture, Inc., the company explicitly stated that, as a result of that transaction, it is no longer a shell entity. This indicates a shift from a structure primarily seeking a merger partner to one with operating subsidiaries in defined consumer and retail segments.

Trading venue and capital markets positioning

CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. trades on the OTC Markets platform under the symbol CIVX. The company has described itself as a Current Reporting OTC Pink Sheet issuer and has discussed objectives related to uplisting to the OTCQB tier, subject to meeting applicable requirements and completing corporate actions. Past communications have mentioned efforts to update corporate identity, including a potential name and ticker symbol change, as well as work on corporate presentations and investor materials, although these activities are subject to regulatory processes and other factors.

Strategic objectives and growth themes

Company statements have outlined objectives centered on building a portfolio of restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, and travel centers through 1780 Management Group, Inc., and, more recently, expanding the reach of Shibue Couture, Inc.’s intimate apparel products. CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. has indicated an intention to use marketing and internet sales teams to promote the Shibue product line and to increase its exposure and sales online. It has also previously referenced working with a venture capital firm to identify merger candidates and support long-term growth plans.

In earlier communications, the company discussed expansion concepts such as additional restaurants, convenience stores with gas stations, and travel centers, as well as the acquisition of both national brand franchises and proprietary restaurant brands. These statements reflect the company’s described focus on building a diversified set of operating assets in hospitality and consumer retail, while also remaining open to acquisitions in other industries or sectors unrelated to food and beverage.

Company classification and sector context

Based on market categorization, CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. has been associated with the Shell Companies industry within the Financial Services sector. Its own disclosures, however, emphasize that it functions as a holding company for operating businesses in hospitality, retail, and apparel. This combination places CIVX at the intersection of financial holding company activities and consumer-facing operations, with subsidiaries that span restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, travel centers, and women’s intimate apparel.
