PITTSBURGH, Oct. 4, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (Pink Sheets:UPZS), a Delaware Corporation, announces LKN Investment Partners LLC has opened an impressive 4,200 square foot space at 215 Salisbury Road, Granite Quarry, NC three weeks ahead of schedule. This location is the second for LKN Investment Partners and the third location in the North Carolina market with additional openings planned for the remainder of 2007. Michael Bongiovanni, President of Green Tree Financial Group located in Charlotte NC, states, "During a visit to Pittsburgh in '05 to assist Jim (Vowler) with the initial filings necessary to become a publicly traded company, I had my first opportunity to sample their product. At the time I was on a carb-free diet, but their pizza looked so good I had to try it. Twenty-plus slices later (so much for my diet) I decided the Western pizza was the best I had ever eaten. I am thrilled that they have opened a bunch of stores in Charlotte so I can eat my Western pizza daily!"
This new 4,200 square foot location has a capacity of 125 people with seating for 75 in the dining room, 25 in the bar area, and 25 on the outside deck along with having a separate banquet room capable of seating 50 for many community functions. Besides offering Unique Pizza's extensive menu, this location has karaoke nights, video games, and many plasma TVs to make this a destination for the whole community.
Thomas Dugita, Chief Strategy Officer of UPZS, states, "We are very impressed with the dedication seen in the partners of LKN and how they are moving ahead of schedule with their plans of opening Unique Pizza and Subs. We intend to take the positive actions used by LKN for their success and refine them to educate and help our many other franchisees that are in the same process. Learning from past experiences and using the techniques that have been successful thus far, it will not only benefit our franchisees but it will create the momentum necessary to achieve our corporate goals for our company and our shareholders. The North Carolina market is becoming a great success and we will continue creating this type of success in our other markets including California, Nevada, Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Virginia."
