PHOENIX, Feb. 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Grilled Cheese Truck, Inc. (OTC:GRLD), a US-based gourmet food truck company, today announced that the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Robbie Lee, accepted shares of GRLD common stock at Thursday’s closing price of $0.51 per share, in lieu of receiving cash salary for 2014 and 2015 fiscal years.

“I believe with all my heart that the mission of our Company is correct, our industry is ripe for our best brand consolidation strategy, and that our timing as first mover is perfect,” Lee stated yesterday.

Lee went on to explain, “The first mover in a highly fragmented industry at its infancy is faced with challenges; however, investors in this stage have the opportunity to earn greater than average returns, and I believe that the opportunities with GRLD are far greater than the challenges, which is why I have invested two years’ worth of my salary in the Company’s future.”
