Cristopher Diwata, known for the “What hafen Vella” meme, now owns a franchise business.
The Taylor Lautner look-alike shared a video on Wednesday, September 3, of his visit to their “first family franchise business” at Starmall in EDSA Shaw.
The business is a kiosk of Melt Station, a cheese cart offering cheesy fries, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheesy nachos, fondue and other snacks with melted cheese.
“Visiting our [first] family [franchise] business, Melt Station,” Cristopher wrote on Facebook with smiling emojis.
His post also carried a “Feeling Blessed” status.
Last month, Cristopher was introduced as the newest franchisee and brand ambassador of the cheese cart business.
In June, Cristopher’s wife shared that they were able to buy a car for their family, adding that her husband has long wanted to own a vehicle.
