PITTSBURGH, Sept. 24, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (Pink Sheets:UPZS), a Delaware Corporation, is delighted to announce the opening of its newest location in the rapidly growing Norfolk, Virginia market located at 237 Hanbury Road, Chesapeake, Virginia. "After the success of our first location (opened in Waterside Mall), we are now ready to start expanding throughout the Norfolk area. This last year has been a lot of work but has brought great rewards. I now have better knowledge of the pizza business and have the satisfaction of owning and operating multiple Unique Pizza and Subs' franchises. Beyond the financial gains, I have taken tremendous pride in my chosen career. Customers come up to me daily and tell me our food (pizza, subs, calzones, etc.) is the best they have ever had, comparing our pizza to memories of what they thought to be their favorite or just telling me about all their bad experiences with other pizza shops. The great customer response gives me the confidence to open many more Unique's throughout Norfolk," stated Rayanne Trader, owner and operator.
This is the second location for Unique Pizza and Subs in Virginia and since the soft opening on September 12th, it has done some great business. Everyone's expectations have been either met or exceeded with the quality of the food, quality of service, and the great atmosphere. This location has opened about 3 weeks later than anticipated but it was well worth the wait. The new location seats about 24 people in the dining area and customers were scrambling to get seats. The openings at a Unique Pizza are starting to become major events for the surrounding communities as people can't wait for Unique Pizza and Subs to open in their area. There is a strong buzz going on related to where and when a Unique Pizza is opening in a community and this is good for the customers, the communities, the company, and of course, the shareholders.
James Vowler, President and CEO of Unique Pizza and Subs, states, "Rayanne's pride in owning multiple Unique franchises is evident from the moment you meet her and she continues to be a tremendous asset to our franchise. With her drive and strong work ethic, I know she will have great success with her continued growth in the Norfolk market."
