Sampling of publications featuring stories on Giggles N’ Hugs…
7. Founded by CEO, Joey Parsi, and his wife, Dora Parsi, in response to frustration they experienced dining with
their children.
Recognized and addressed a substantial void in the market by opening the first Giggles N Hugs restaurant in
Brentwood, California in February 2008.
Brentwood was an immediate success, that enjoyed profitability and widespread media coverage.
Westfield approached them for an expansion proposal, including possible nationwide rollout.
In 2010, opened their second restaurant in the Westfield Century City Mall, with Westfield agreeing to pay 60%
of construction costs, with additional concessions.
Opened a second location in March 2013 in the Westfield Topanga Shopping Center.
Opened a third location in November 2013 in the Glendale Galleria Mall.
The current landlords, Westfield and General Growth Properties, have offered very favorable tenant
improvement concessions and landlord financing on existing leases and we are in active discussions on many
more locations in their malls throughout the USA.

Where We Are Today…
¹Westfield February 2012 Demographic Report. 11
12. While fast food restaurants offer cheap food in cookie-cutter
buildings, themed restaurants offer a good meal, as well as an
experience.
In 2011, there were 19.5 million kids’ parties at restaurants.¹
NPD CREST research finds that kids are eating more healthful
food options than ever before.¹
Children five or younger are most likely to influence restaurant
visits.²
The average visitor stay at a family entertainment center is 2.5
hours, and they typically visit up to 6 times per year.³

expected economics of an average
single store, based upon our 6,000
square foot, 150-seat prototype
within the target demographic. Based
on our ability to command tenant
improvement funds of $600,000 per
location, the payback period on a per
asset basis is projected to be
approximately two and a half years.

everything it takes for a great time: food, beer, wine, coffee,
cookies, delicious, healthy pizza, not greasy and thick. What

A big plus!” – 5/2/12

good. Highly recommended.” – 5/15/12
