HAPPY BELLY FOOD GROUP'S HEAL WELLNESS QSR ANNOUNCES THE SIGNING OF A SECURED REAL ESTATE LOCATION FOR GEORGETOWN, ONTARIO

Happy Belly Food Group Inc.'s Heal Wellness brand has signed a real estate location for Georgetown, Ont. This milestone further advances Heal's disciplined, asset-light growth strategy across high-quality suburban markets within the Greater Toronto Area. Heal Wellness is a quick-service restaurant (QSR) concept specializing in fresh smoothie bowls, acai bowls and smoothies.

"This real estate commitment in Georgetown reflects our continued focus on pairing strong franchise partners with attractive, high-visibility trade areas," said Sean Black, chief executive officer of Happy Belly. "Georgetown is a growing, family oriented community with strong household incomes and daily traffic patterns that align well with Heal's health-forward, convenience-driven offering. As we continue to expand across Ontario, markets like Georgetown allow us to build density while maintaining the disciplined site selection and unit economics that underpin our growth model."

Heal Wellness continues to gain momentum as consumer demand for convenient, better-for-you food options grows across both urban and suburban markets. With its strong brand positioning, scalable format, and expanding franchise pipeline, Heal is well positioned to deepen its presence across Ontario and other key Canadian regions.

"Heal Wellness continues to expand rapidly across Canada and into the United States, solidifying its position as a leading acai and smoothie bowl brand. With 30 locations now open and more than 168 in development, Heal contributes to Happy Belly's broader portfolio of 656 contractually committed retail franchise locations across multiple emerging brands in various stages of development, construction and operation. Our predictable and disciplined growth engine continues to deliver measurable results as we expand our brands across Canada and create long-term value for our shareholders.

"We are just getting started," added Mr. Black.
