Mike Tyson’s latest KO move comes in the form of an investment in a plant-based QSR.
In a press release on GlobeNewswire, through Carma HoldCo, Mike Tyson announced a strategic investment in Mr. Charlie’s Told Me So (TMS), a pioneering plant-based quick-service restaurant (QSR). This move comes as the plant-based food market is projected to exceed $77.8 billion by 2025.
“Mr. Charlie’s is a natural choice for Carma Holdco, as we diversify into the food industry. I very much believe in the healthy benefits of a vegan diet and was a strict vegan for many years. I’m proud to align myself with partners bringing healthy alternatives that taste good to the fast food space. Mr. Charlie’s mission to help and hire those from the homeless community is something that I am truly passionate about, and I look forward to helping many people and communities with the expansion of Mr. Charlie’s across the globe.”
