Shibarium-Based Restaurateur Welly Adds Second Franchise Location, Plans to Expand Emerging Fast Food Empire to U.S.

SHIB,
a
world-leading
ecosystem
of
decentralized
finance
(DeFi)
cryptocurrencies
that
has
gained
popularity
among
millions
of
holders
worldwide,
today
announced
that
the
Italian
restaurant
using
the
Shibarium
blockchain,
Welly,
has
added
a
second
location
as
it
continues
its
expansion
efforts
as
an
emerging
fast
food
empire.

The
new
space
in
Reggio
Emilia
is
the
most
expansive
concept
yet
for
Welly,
which
initially
launched
as
a
food
stand
in
Naples,
and
which
has
also
recently
added
food
catering
at
various
events
to
its
repertoire.
The
new
storefront
in
Reggio
Emilia
has
40
seats
for
indoor
dining,
in
addition
to
the
Welly
to-go
options.
The
Welly
locations
in
Naples
and
Reggio
Emilia
both
have
stunning
store
layouts
that
were
shaped
and
refined
through
the
extensive
input
of
the
SHIB
community,
and
designed
by
the
Spanish
architecture
studio
MASQUESPACIO,
winner
of
several
international
awards,
including
curved
walls,
spacious
dining
areas,
and
neon
light
boxes
featuring
popular
Welly
NFT
digital
characters.

The
Reggio
Emilia
franchisees,
Federico
Foroni
and
Enrico
Damiani,
are
also
enthusiastic
members
of
the
Welly
and
SHIB
communities.
The
opening
of
this
new
location
will
be
celebrated
with
a
local
community
event
featuring
music
on
June
15,
2024.

“Welly
is
an
experience
unlike
any
other
in
the
world
of
cuisine
and
is
completely
built
on
the
input
of
customers
and
the
passionate
online
community,”
said
Welly
evangelist
and
spokesperson
Gianmaria
D’Aniello.
“We
look
forward
to
bringing
this
unique,
one-of-a-kind
experience
to
more
locations
in
Italy,
new
locations
in
the
United
States,
and
elsewhere
in
the
world.”

Web3
and
the
Shibarium
blockchain
have
been
key
components
for
Welly’s
brand
identity
and
food
operations,
with
more
to
come
in
the
future
including
a
farm-to-table
tracing
system.
To
start,
the
Welly
menu
includes
burgers,
fried
chicken
sandwiches,
and
fries
(or patatine
fritte),
with
additional
items
such
as
vegan
and
gluten-free
options
to
come.

“The
Welly
locations
are
two
of
the
most
exciting
‘projects’
within
the
entire
SHIB
ecosystem,”
said
Shiba
Inu
Lead
Developer
known
as
Shytoshi
Kusama.
“These
real
storefronts
serving
customers
every
day
and
Web3
are
working
together
to
augment
the
capabilities
and
reach
of
both.
As
Welly
expands,
SHIB
and
Shibarium
will
be
right
there
to
help
franchisees
meet
their
goals.”

Welly
was
born
from
an
idea
to
bring
blockchain
concepts
to
a
real-world
food
franchise
for
individuals
seeking
to
experience
something
new,
innovative,
healthy,
and
tasty,
after
initially
opening
as
a
Naples,
Italy
restaurant
in
2021.
After
rebranding
and
partnering
with
SHIB,
Welly
is
now
a
point
of
reference
in
Naples
for
all
chicken
lovers
and
beyond.
With
a
large
menu
filled
with
exclusive
recipes
from
the
renowned
young
chef
Flynn
McGarry,
Welly
aims
to
offer
high-quality
meals
to
the
fast
food
world.

SHIB
continues
to
expand
its
community
and
potential
partnerships
across
several
different
verticals
beyond
food
service,
including
internet
and
Web2
interoperability
(D3
and
the
.shib
top-level
domain),
philanthropy
(the
Manny
Pacquiao
Foundation),
and
media
and
entertainment
(Content
Delivery
&
Security
Association).
