$GRLT -Goldman Small Cap Research Initates Research Coverage of GRILLiT, Inc.
ReplyDeletehttp://finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman-small-cap-research-initates-120100883.html
BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwired - Aug 15, 2013) - Goldman Small Cap Research, a stock market research firm focused on the small cap and microcap sectors, has initiated research coverage of GRILLiT, Inc. (OTC Pink: GRLT) a growing Latin-Caribbean fusion restaurant chain that marries fast casual with nutritious and healthy food.
The Company opened its first location in Miami in 2011 and specializes in chef-inspired custom crafted rice bowls, pasta and wraps as well as salads. GRILLiT utilizes domestic growers and delivers healthy cuisine using only fresh proteins, such as never-frozen chicken and Angus beef. GRILLiT currently has two corporate locations with a third slated to open in the coming weeks and 3 franchisees with the first franchised location expected to open in this quarter. Management expects to have at least 21 corporate and 58 franchised locations open and operating within the next five years.
In the Goldman Opportunity Research report on the Company, analyst Rob Goldman outlines his investment thesis.
"GRILLiT, Inc. has the right leadership, concept and early success to become the next major success story in fast casual dining. By marrying an innovative health conscious menu with what may be the only pure play Latin-Caribbean fusion concept chain, GRILLiT has already enjoyed success and acclaim in its 2 South Florida restaurants. The space is on fire with very high valuations afforded industry leaders Chipotle, Panera Bread and the newly public Noodles. As the Company continues to grow and open new stores, we believe that GRLT will become an attractive takeover target due to its low-cost, high profit, and innovative fast casual concept."

$GRLT a/h news Fri-announced a new 100% MSG-free menu in their Florida locations
ReplyDeleteMIAMI, December 6, 2013 GRILLiT, Inc. ("GRILLiT" or the "Company") (GRLT) today announced a new 100 percent MSG-free menu in their Florida locations. The Latin-Caribbean fusion fast-casual restaurant chain sees this menu as the next step in their commitment to providing customers with fresh and healthy foods.
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the salt form of glutamic acid and exists both in naturally-occurring and synthetically manufactured forms. It is a common flavor enhancer in various food items as it produces umami flavor. While it is "generally recognized as safe" by the FDA, some people have reported developing adverse reactions such as headaches, neurological symptoms, asthma attacks, sweating, nausea, rapid heartbeat and/or chest pains after consuming foods containing MSG. Studies have not established a direct causal effect between MSG consumption and the so-called "MSG symptom complex," but many scientists warn against the potential immediate and long-term harmful effects of MSG and recommend avoiding foods containing it.
"GRILLiT is committed to offering healthy and tasty meal options in our restaurants," said CEO Ghazi Hajj. "We closely monitor the quality of the food purchased from vendors and distributors. Our 100 percent MSG-free initiative is being tested first in our Florida locations and will soon be adopted in the rest of our restaurants."
$GRLT will announce its new expanded marketing initiative Monday morning
