TORONTO, May 30, 2022 /CNW/ - Odd Burger Corporation ("Odd Burger" or the "Company") (TSX: ODD) (OTCQB: ODDAF) (FSE: IA9) is pleased to announce its financial results for its second quarter, ended March 31, 2022, have been posted with Canadian securities regulatory authorities at www.sedar.com. CEO James McInnes stated, "We are pleased to report that our second quarter revenue was 148% higher than the second quarter from the year previous. Furthermore, we reduced our operating loss by more than 20% compared to the previous quarter, proving that our efforts to drive towards profitability are effective. The second quarter was strategically a very significant period for us, as we prioritized our franchise growth strategy and signed our largest franchise deal to date for the development of 36 locations in Alberta and British Columbia with Sai-Genesh Enterprises. We continue to work on similar development agreements in territories across Canada and in the US, building an incredibly robust franchise development pipeline that will lock in a clear growth trajectory for our company. The opening of our Whitby location in April 2022 to record sales proves again that the market is craving something different. With 16 restaurant sites now under development or operational in addition to our development agreements, we are positioned for tremendous growth over the next year. Our focus on franchising will greatly reduce our capital needs, while also pushing forward the rapid growth of our brand, positioning Odd Burger as one of the leading vegan fast-food chains in the world."
