Soupman, Inc. received approval from New York State to go forward on a Master Franchise Agreement with The Grilled Cheese Truck Inc. to launch Original Soupman & The Grilled Cheese Truck mobile units nationwide. The branded mobile units, which may be trucks or carts, will be targeted to be franchised to war veterans who desire to own and operate their own business in the burgeoning gourmet mobile food cart/truck industry, which is the growing segment in the Quick Service Restaurant space. The Master Franchise Agreement would require The Grilled Cheese Truck to fund $2 million in growth capital to Soupman, Inc. as well as pay to Soupman 25% of all franchise fees and royalties collected.

Soupman is also to be paid under the Agreement for sales of its proprietary soups to the franchised locations nationwide.
