Globally Local Announces Completion of Vaughan Location and Details of Annual General Meeting Conference Call
TORONTO, June 29, 2021 /CNW/ - Globally Local Technologies Inc. (TSXV: GBLY), founder of one of the world's first vegan fast-food chains and first to go public, today offered the following updates on new restaurants, including Vaughan, and announced details of its first Annual General Meeting via teleconference.
The Vaughan location will be the first location launched under the new Odd Burger brand, with a full transition expected in July including a ticker symbol change to "ODD." Vaughan Odd Burger is expected to open to the public as early as the first week of July and will implement many of the design elements of the new Odd Burger brand including updated interior decor and new signage. It is also one of the most compact locations made to date, with a total square footage under 1100 square feet.
"The Vaughan location is an incredible milestone for us, because it is the first location to launch under the Odd Burger brand," said Globally Local co-founder and CEO James McInnes. "This location is also the first to fully implement our smart kitchen design, which will be used as a template for future locations and will help us to scale quickly and effectively."
The company estimates the following opening timelines for previously announced locations:
- Construction has begun on South London and Waterloo locations, which are expected to open in August
- Construction at the Hamilton location is expected to begin shortly, and opening is planned for September
- Construction is delayed at the East Toronto (Broadview) location due to structural issues with the building that are currently being addressed by the landlord, but the company expects an October opening
Earlier in June, the company announced it is engaged in site selection for its first U.S. location in New York City.
