Shiba Inuโ€™s (SHIB) official fast food chain, Welly Friends, is opening a second shop in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The mouth-watering move was announced on X last Sunday, with a 31-second video snippet presenting its opening ceremony, uniting Shiba Inu fans with foodies.

SHIB Army Marks Milestone in Good Taste

The Welly Friends franchise signed a deal with two brothers from Reggio Emilia to set up the follow-up shop last year, marking a crucial milestone in the adoption and utility of SHIB. This new eatery in Reggio Emilia signifies huge progress for the initial food stand in Naples, back when Wellyโ€™s was an unknown brand.

The new fast food restaurant was designed by the award-winning Spanish architect studio MASQUESPACIO. It has over 40 interior seats for guests, with spacious dining areas, curved walls, and neon light boxes to showcase Welly non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on-site.

Welly Friends to Set Up Shop in the U.S. Next?

Commenting on this milestone for the Shiba Inu community, Welly Friends representative Gianmaria Dโ€™Aniello remarked: โ€œWelly is an experience unlike any other in the world of cuisine and is completely built on the input of customers.โ€

Dโ€™Aniello vowed to โ€œbring this unique, one-of-a-kind experience to more locations in Italy, new locations in the United States, and elsewhere in the world.โ€ As Shiba Inuโ€™s Web3 ventures have been a catalyst for Wellyโ€™s brand awareness, adopting blockchain to enhance real-world experiences becomes a must.

Shiba Inuโ€™s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, and Wellyโ€™s Dโ€™Aniello look forward to employing blockchain technology to provide a farm-to-table tracking system. For now, Wellyโ€™s delicious menu consists of chicken burgers, sandwiches, tortilla wraps, French fries, and a selection of vegan and gluten-free options.

The current Welly Friends menu has plenty of unique recipes. The inaugural Welly shop in Naples has become a landmark for chicken lovers in the area. Flynn McGarry, a renowned award-winning chef, has most of the chicken recipes.

On the Flipside

  • Despite community-wide celebration, the floor price of the associated Welly Friends digital collectible set slipped by 36.6% over the past two weeks.
  • With a current NFT floor price of 0.038 Ether (ETH), the 4K-strong Welly Friends NFTs are trading at a lower price than the initial minting price of 0.12 ETH.

Why This Matters

Real-world initiatives uniting Web3 projects with brick-and-mortar shops have the potential to augment the capabilities and reach of both.
