新的蒙特利爾分店以意大利Kisses品牌的名字命名，將提供意大利菜單中的全套Kisses，該菜單一直受到該公司在佛羅裏達州、加利福尼亞州和意大利的客户羣的好評。此外，加拿大的菜單上將展示來自意大利的新的有機和無麩質糰子產品系列Kisses，自從該公司在魁北克省和安大略省推出其零售品牌產品以來，該系列產品迅速成為加拿大客户的最愛。客户還可以購買來自意大利的Kisses品牌零售產品，如該公司的乾麪系列，包括玉米、紅扁豆、黑豆和甜菜根等口味，以及來自意大利的無麩質披薩醬和意大利麪醬的Kisses，口味包括Marinara、Rosee、Arrabiata和烘烤大蒜。
Michele Di Turi, President, co-CEO and co-founder of Kisses from Italy stated, " for myself and my co-founding partner, co-CEO, CIO and long-time friend, Claudio Ferri, this feels like a defining moment in the Kisses From Italy growth story. The team continues to work hard and push forward with the goal of growing Kisses From Italy across North America, but being given the opportunity to witness a Kisses From Italy opened in the city where we were raised is amazing and a true honor. The preliminary response we have received for the store location has been very positive. We cannot be any more excited with the opening of our first operating franchise, in Canada." Di Turi added, "we would like give a special thanks to Denis Senecal, our franchise partner in Canada, significant shareholder and the operator of the first Canadian franchise. We are very grateful and appreciative of Denis' efforts to push forward with great determination in bringing the Kisses From Italy brand to Canada, even while facing headwinds brought on by COVID, building material and labor shortages, Denis and the rest of the team got it done."
意大利Kisses公司總裁、聯席首席執行官兼聯合創始人Michele Di Turi表示：“對於我和我的聯合創始合夥人、聯合首席執行官、首席信息官和老朋友克勞迪奧·費裏來説，這感覺就像是意大利Kisses公司成長故事中的一個決定性時刻。團隊繼續努力工作，朝着在北美各地發展意大利接吻的目標前進，但有機會見證來自意大利的接吻在我們長大的城市開幕，這是令人驚歎的，也是一種真正的榮譽。我們收到的關於商店地點的初步反應非常積極。當我們在加拿大開設第一家經營專營權時，我們再也興奮不起來了。“迪·圖裏補充説：“我們要特別感謝丹尼斯·塞內卡爾，他是我們在加拿大的特許經營合作伙伴，也是我們在加拿大的第一家特許經營權的大股東和運營商。我們非常感激和讚賞丹尼斯以極大的決心推動意大利品牌Kisses進入加拿大的努力，儘管面臨着COVID帶來的逆風、建材和勞動力短缺，丹尼斯和團隊的其他成員還是完成了這項工作。”
Denis Senecal stated, "It is exciting to be part of the team bringing Kisses From Italy to Canada. The product offerings, which we are excited to serve and were heavily inspired by the food scene in Montreal, will serve the local community and overall customer base well. The past year has presented many challenges and obstacles, but we made it. The team is looking forward to serving our community, family and friends, and I am confident that this will be the first store of many to follow."
Denis Senecal説：“能成為將Kisses從意大利帶到加拿大的團隊的一員是令人興奮的。我們很高興能提供這些產品，並受到蒙特利爾美食場景的極大啟發，這些產品將很好地服務於當地社區和整個客户基礎。過去的一年裏，我們遇到了許多挑戰和障礙，但我們成功了。團隊期待着為我們的社區、家人和朋友服務，我相信這將是許多人隨後開設的第一家門店。”
The first Canadian franchise opening in Montreal follows the announcement, in April of 2021 whereby the Company signed an agreement with Fransmart, an industry leader in the global franchise market and is known for having a solid reputation in franchise development and the franchising opportunities space, with a track record of turning emerging restaurant concepts into national and global brands. As well as the most recent announcement where Kisses From Italy entered into an agreement with Cuisine Solutions, a world-renowned service provider to top brands and the teams are currently working on future operational layouts which will allow the Company to become hoodless and ventless and continue to improve development and operational efficiencies.
在蒙特利爾開設第一家加拿大特許經營店之前，該公司於2021年4月宣佈與Fransmart簽署協議，Fransmart是全球特許經營市場的行業領先者，以在特許經營發展和特許經營機會空間方面享有良好聲譽而聞名，在將新興餐廳概念轉變為國內和全球品牌方面有着良好的記錄。此外，意大利的Kisses最近宣佈與世界知名的頂級品牌服務提供商Cuisine Solutions達成協議，兩個團隊目前正在制定未來的運營佈局，這將使公司變得無鈎、無風，並繼續提高開發和運營效率。
