Big Cheese, Inc. d/b/a the Original Grilled Cheese Truck

Los Angeles, CA, June 6, 2017 (Newswire.com) - The Original Grilled Cheese Truck (“OGCT”), owned by Big Cheese, Inc. (the “Company”), a gourmet chef-driven food truck and restaurant brand being rolled out nationally, announced today that it has achieved a major milestone in its expansion plan for the Original Grilled Cheese Truck brand — the completion of its Franchise Disclosure Document (“FDD”). The FDD is a comprehensive legal document governed by both state and federal regulations that is given to potential franchise buyers and provides extensive business and financial information about the franchise opportunity, to ensure a prospective franchisee can make an informed decision about a franchise purchase.

This important milestone comes after the launch of the Company’s new Regulation CF equity crowdfund offering on FlashFunders.com. Anyone can invest and receive an early stake in the Original Grilled Cheese Truck for as little as $100. Funds raised will be used to help bring the brand’s delicious cheesy goodness to millions of adoring grilled cheese and comfort food audiences, U.S. military veterans and foodie entrepreneurs, nationwide.

"The completion of the FDD represents a major event for the Company and the culmination of a significant amount work by our executive team over the past six months. We are now mobilizing our team for a national launch of the Original Grilled Cheese Truck brand which has generated numerous awards and an extraordinary amount of press since its launch in 2009, including a recent award from Time Out LA for the #1 melt in Los Angeles."

A.J. Cervantes, Chairman

Following completion of this FlashFunders.com crowdfunded capital raise, management plans to conduct a Regulation A+ Initial Public Offering which, if successful, will result in a public market for the Company’s securities on the Over-the-Counter (OTC) market. Some investments in the FlashFunders.com offering are eligible for discounts on OGCT franchise fees, in certain cases up to 100% off, an incentive valued at $35,000.

“The completion of the FDD represents a major event for the Company and the culmination of a significant amount work by our executive team over the past six months,” stated A.J. Cervantes, Chairman of the Company. “We are now mobilizing our team for a national launch of the Original Grilled Cheese Truck brand, which has generated numerous awards and an extraordinary amount of press since its launch in 2009, including a recent award from Time Out LA for the #1 melt in Los Angeles.”

To expand the Original Grilled Cheese Truck brand, management plans to capitalize on the past eight years of success these gourmet sandwiches have achieved in Los Angeles, one of the country's most competitive arenas of gourmet food truck culture.  The rollout of the brand calls for a robust franchise program that offers U.S. Military veterans, food and restaurant entrepreneurs in towns and cities across the country, an opportunity to own and operate an Original Grilled Cheese Truck branded food truck, micro-retail, pop-up, kiosk, food cart and/or brick-and-mortar restaurant. An important component of the Company’s mission and franchise growth strategy will be providing first access and discounted franchise opportunities to those who have bravely served and fought for our country.  

The FDD announcement comes weeks after the Company completed its first Regulation CF equity crowdfund offering, raising close to $200,000 from 331 investors on FINRA-regulated MicroVentures.com, and days after the Company launched its second Regulation CF equity crowdfund offering on FlashFunders.com. The offering, subject to investment limits imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, is open to ALL investors, both domestic and international, accredited and unaccredited. Proceeds from the raise will go toward national expansion of the award-winning OGCT brand.
