In February, Shiba Inu announced teaming up with Welly's, an Italian fast-food restaurant. As part of the partnership, Welly's conducted a full rebrand, making the Shiba Inu dog its new mascot and adjusting its menu and marketing strategy. The customers at Welly's will also be able to use the SHIB token as a means of payment.
The development, which prompted excitement among the SHIB community at large, saw thousands of SHIB army members file franchise applications to enable the debut of Welly's restaurant in their countries.
