iBrands Corporation (OTCPink: IBRC), www.ibrandscorp.com,
- a holding company targeting the merger and acquisition of niche
Internet-based brands positioned for rapid growth through proven
products - today released an update to its shareholders.
In the latter part of last year, the Company elevated its status to
"Current Information” on Pink Sheets. The Company intends to maintain
this status for the upcoming year with a goal to elevate to a reporting
status this year.
IBRC’s focus during the first 6 months of 2011 will be acquiring a new
brand for the Company. Management believes an acquisition with an
existing revenue base having a unique market positioning with
substantial upside will accelerate the Company’s plans to move to a
reporting status. A potential acquisition has been identified and
discussions are in process.
Furthermore, IBRC continues to develop its iMenu24/7 online ordering
system for the restaurant industry. iMenu24/7 has processed over 1.5
million orders. Menu24/7 is a B2B software platform that provides
restaurateurs of all sizes to create a branded online ordering system
for their consumers. Among other features, iMenu24/7 creates tools for
these restaurateurs to increase their average check sizes through
product up-selling and capture their consumer email addresses for future
marketing.
Industry Highlights Which Further Indicate Potential for Robust Growth

restaurant locations generating approximately $617 Billion annually in
sales serving more than 78 Billion meal occasions annually.
