Shiba Inu unveils big surprise deal
In a new Twitter post, SHIB has unveiled its partnership with an Italian fast food restaurant called Welly’s. A complete rebrand is already ongoing, with Welly's adopting the Shiba Inu dog as its new mascot and a new motto that relates to Ryoshi, the anonymous originator of the meme coin. Its cuisine and marketing tactics have also been tweaked.

U.Today earlier reported on Shiba Inu teasing its community on a forthcoming deal. A teaser showing the SHIB logo placed on various television screens and then, with two cooking utensils, asked viewers to guess the answer at the end.
Thousands of responses had hinted at SHIB and McDonald's, Burger King or KFC collaborations. Earlier, the SHIB team unveiled the SHIBerse, referring to it as an immersive experience for the Metaverse and the Shiba Inu community.
SHIB trades at $0.0000203 at press time.
