Construction Begins on First Colombia Gold's First Quick Serve Restaurant

NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESSWIRE / September 16, 2015 / First Colombia Gold Corp (PINKSHEETS: FCGD) announced today that construction has started on its first Maryland Fried Chicken location. Located within the Shoppes at Winder Station in Winder, Georgia, this location will be a 1,500 square foot restaurant located within this brand new shopping complex.

The franchise, Maryland Fried Chicken, which was acquired by First Colombia Gold and announced in April, will be the first of five initial locations to be opened by the company. The other four locations, scheduled to open by the end of the year, will all be located within the convenience stores that the company is in the process of acquiring. These convenience stores are expected to close at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Jason Castenir, CEO of First Colombia Gold stated, "We are very excited to have this location under construction and we are anxious to get it up and running. Our team has been working very hard on getting these recent acquisitions fully integrated into the company. Once these acquisitions are finalized, we anticipate that they will perform as expected and generate earnings for the company."

Mr. Clarence Parks, president of First Colombia Gold, stated, "This is just the beginning of what we feel will be a very successful business for our company. With the performance of the convenience stores and the quick serve restaurants, we are very optimistic about our revenue over the next year."

Since First Colombia Gold first acquired Triangle Restaurant Group, it has been looking for creative ways to work the Quick-Serve Restaurant concept into the larger business model. After signing the letter of intent to acquire 11 convenience stores, First Colombia Gold announced its plan to integrate the two business models in order to become a large-scale operator of convenience stores, travel centers, and quick-serve restaurants.

In addition to these announcements, the company also announced that it has updated its social media content and rebranded the company in order to better align with its business model. Included in this redesign are new logos for the company, a new web address and new phone numbers.
