Wowio, Inc. Acquires Restaurant and Tour Business in Arizona
Wowio appoints a new board and takes company in a new direction.
Henderson, NV, October 26, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Wowio, Inc. (OTC Pink: WWIO) “WWIO or The Company” is excited to announce the appointment of a new board of Directors and a new direction of operations has been forged. Mr. Robert Estareja has resigned as CEO and Mr. Anthony Anish has been appointed in his place. Mr. Estareja and Mr. Zach Pennington have both resigned from the Company’s Board. Mr. Brian Altounian is staying on the Board of Directors and additional Directors will be appointed once the Company is fully current. In addition to these changes, Mr. Jitu Banker has been appointed CFO.
The first step the new Board has taken is to acquire a controlling interest in Castlerock Group Holdings, Inc. (“Castlerock”). Castlerock Group Holdings has an option to acquire all the assets of Castlerock Bar and Grill, LLC. which consists of the following:
1. Land and buildings in Golden Valley, Arizona, consisting of 38 acres of land with a bar and grill and an arena that can handle up to 8,200 people at shows and rodeos. (This property was recently appraised at $2,800,000),
2. Land and Buildings in Dolan Springs, Arizona consisting of a café/restaurant and offices, and
3. A second leased space in Dolan Springs, Arizona with a restaurant located on the site which opens at the end of this month.
These operations including the new restaurant will generate approximately $150,000 per month in revenues while the arena is expected to generate over $700,000 per annum. Mr. Anish commented, “This is just the first acquisition in the new business model. Further acquisitions are currently under negotiation and we expect to close these subsequent acquisitions over the next few months.”
The agreed price for the business net of current mortgages is $2,500,000 to be paid in cash and stock. The seller will hold a UCC filing over all the assets until the full purchase price is paid. Over the next two months, management expects that all outstanding financial statements will be filed and will be kept current.
Management is planning to get all financial data up to date as quickly as possible. New releases will add more information as it becomes available.
