Dinewise, Inc. (DWIS) Unveils Ambitious Plans for 2025

Dinewise, Inc. (DWIS), operating as PawnTrust Inc., has released its corporate update for Q1/2025, outlining an ambitious roadmap for the coming year. The fintech company, which provides solutions to the pawn shop industry, is set to launch its PawnTrust Marketplace in April 2025, marking a significant milestone in its growth strategy.

The PawnTrust Marketplace, currently in the testing phase, aims to create the first-ever pawn partner network, seamlessly integrating pawn shop inventory onto the platform. This initiative will allow local pawn shops to display their inventory nationally overnight, significantly increasing their exposure. PawnTrust will leverage its marketing expertise and financial strength to drive additional engagement for its Pawn Partner network, with plans to onboard 10% of the nearly 11,000 pawn shops nationwide initially.

The platform integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance sales through AI-driven descriptive tags and a context-based search function. This user-friendly interface ensures an immersive and engaging shopping experience, ultimately improving customer satisfaction and driving sales growth. AI remains a key component in the company’s strategy to stay competitive and compliant in the evolving financial industry.

PawnTrust is also in the final stages of negotiations to acquire TitlePal, a fintech company that has developed an innovative online solution for Title Pawn transactions. The Company expects to finalize the acquisition in early Q1 2025. TitlePal is actively processing loans and has successfully tested its online platform with favorable results. This acquisition will enable TitlePal to expand into Alabama, Texas, and Mississippi, effectively doubling its receivable base by year-end. The platform has streamlined the title loan process to a 30-minute online transaction, significantly reducing the time typically required in traditional methods.

As part of its growth strategy, Dinewise has identified board members with the necessary expertise to facilitate market penetration. Additionally, the company is in discussions with regulators to implement both a name and ticker symbol change, further aligning with its commitment to transparency and accountability.

To reinforce its commitment to transparency, the company has launched "CEO Corner," a weekly update from CEO Michael Farr on the company’s YouTube channel (@PawnTrust). Initially scheduled for February 7, the first episode will now premiere on February 28, following a decision to enhance production quality through a partnership with Bellamar Pictures; an Atlanta-based film company. This exclusive agreement ensures professional-grade production that aligns with PawnTrust’s commitment to excellence.

"When I accepted the role of Chief Executive Officer, my goal was to build a strong and enduring foundation. We have been diligently reinforcing the core of this company. When our investors assess our progress, they will recognize a company built on stability, capable of navigating any challenge with confidence," Michael Farr, CEO.

In conclusion, Dinewise, Inc. (DWIS) has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for 2025, with plans to launch the PawnTrust Marketplace, acquire TitlePal, and enhance its commitment to transparency through the launch of "CEO Corner." These strategic initiatives position the company for continued growth and success in the evolving financial industry.
