About Dinewise

Dinewise through its company PawnTrust engages in small business loans to thriving entrepreneurs. PawnTrust has now added a marketplace exclusively for Pawn Shops to its business model. PawnTrust acts as an intermediary between the Pawn Shop and consumer using the best technology to streamline borrowing, buying and bartering transactions through and app on a mobile phone. PawnTrust has established Pawn Partners; which are local Pawn Shops, in which inventory is extrapolated into the PawnTrust Marketplace. This allows the Pawn Shops to immediately and seamlessly have their inventory displayed nationally. PawnTrust works like an amplifier. Many of these local stores do not have a web presence nor capital to market their inventory on a national basis. By leveraging the PawnTrust national marketplace the local store can create incremental sales from a wider range of buyers. PawnTrust uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the marketplace platform to automate various workflows including advance image recognition algorithms. Items are automatically identified and descriptions are generated with remarkable accuracy which speeds up the process and standardizes the descriptions. This has the potential to transform the pawn industry where descriptive tags help to create a context based search for a user friendly interface. Using AI will bring an immersive and engaging experience. PawnTrust is a publicly traded company on the OTC: Pink traded under the symbol DWIS. For more information visit www.pawntrust.com

About Juneteenth

Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth National Independence Day, is an annual holiday celebrated in the United States on June 19th. The holiday commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and marks the day when news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached Galveston, Texas, in 1865. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, declaring that all enslaved people in the Confederate territory were to be set free. However, the news of this proclamation did not immediately reach many parts of the South, including Texas, where slavery persisted. It was on June 19, 1865, when Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and read General Order No. 3 announcing the freedom of enslaved people in Texas. This event effectively marked the end of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth represents a significant milestone in the nation's history and symbolizes the delayed but realized emancipation of enslaved African Americans.
