    Boston, MA, July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inner City Capital Connections (ICCC), ICIC's signature program for small business owners in the mid-stage of their growth, is thrilled to mark its fourth year in Canada, made possible by the generous support and partnership of the lead sponsor, Pizza Hut Canada, as part of YUM's Unlocking Opportunity Initiative. The program provides free education, mentorship, and grants to small business owners from underrepresented communities across Canada. At the heart of this initiative is the Equal Slice Program, a pivotal component offering participants the opportunity to vie for one of five $20,000 CAD grants designed to fuel the growth and scalability of their businesses.

    Daniel Meynen, President and General Manager for Pizza Hut Canada, shared his thoughts on the partnership: "As we enter the fourth year of the Equal Slice Program in partnership with ICCC, we are incredibly proud of the program's impact in supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs across Canada. The roots of our Equal Slice Program lie in authenticity, reflecting the entrepreneurial DNA of our founders and franchisees that is core to Pizza Hut Canada's legacy and success. By providing essential resources, mentorship, and financial support, we are committed to empowering entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities to reach their fullest potential. The success stories emerging from this program are a testament to the resilience and creativity of these business owners, and we are honored to be a part of their journey."

    This year, ICIC will present two Canada Cohorts—one conducted virtually and the other in person in Toronto, ON. The in-person Opening Seminar for the ICCC Toronto Equal Slice Cohort will be held on Wednesday, October 11th, 2024. The virtual Opening Seminar for the ICCC Canada National Equal Slice Cohort will be held on Tuesday, October 17th & Thursday, October 19th, 2024. It's not too late to join the program!

    Program Impact: Empowering Growth and Resilience

    Equal Slice has provided a combined $300,000 in grants to small business owners since its inception, helping them build capacity for sustainable growth and resiliency. The nation is home to 150 ICCC alumni, and since their participation in ICIC's programs, they have achieved an outstanding average growth of 125% in revenue.  This success underscores the impactful outcomes of the ICCC program, and the vital role played by Pizza Hut Canada in supporting the growth and resilience of small businesses across the country.

    Steve Grossman, CEO of ICIC, shares his perspective on the impact of the program: "The Equal Slice Program exemplifies our dedication to fostering entrepreneurship in under-resourced communities. Through our partnership with Pizza Hut Canada, we are not just offering financial support, but also delivering critical education and mentorship that empowers business owners to thrive. This program is a catalyst for inclusive economic growth, providing the tools and resources necessary for these entrepreneurs to transform their businesses and communities."
