Pittsburgh, PA - November 23, 2014 - Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (OTC Markets Groups Inc.: OTC Pink: UPZS) today announced they have signed an agreement with Essence Global Inc., a Shanghai based logistics company which provides services in container manufacturing, freight forwarding, importation, container distribution, foreign licensing, product distribution, and provides an extensive expertise in providing Chinese suppliers with the necessary AQSIQ documentation for establishing market preparation for the Asian market. Essence Global has also agreed to help establish China based franchisees and implement the technology required to market Unique Pizza products directly to Chinese consumers through the use of custom mobile apps.
Mr. David Tan, President of Essence Global Inc., said, “There is a movement among Chinese consumers to purchase American-style products that are produced in the USA. While there are many companies which have attempted to establish foreign style products into the Chinese market, the major shortfall in all of these products when emulated by foreign producers are the sub-par ingredients used, because they are of Chinese origin and do not compare to the preferred USA quality standards. A product which meets the high standards set forth by Unique Pizza and Dr. Reddy, will create a product recognition which even minor penetration of such a heavily populated society should translate to the sale of many millions of pizzas per year. ”

Unique Pizza and Subs Announces Next Big Step for EB-5 Funding Program
Pittsburgh, PA - October 08, 2014 - InvestorsHub NewsWire - Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (OTC Pink: UPZS) a Delaware Corporation, is pleased to announce EB-5 program is underway. The law firm of J. Dhokia, Esq. has begun assembling all the necessary marketing material and filling paperwork to start actively marketing the EB-5 funding program, in search of qualified Unique Pizza and Subs franchisees. The target markets will be Japan, China and India and the qualified franchisees will choose from Pittsburgh, Denver and Southern California for their first location. The future franchisee will choose from a variety of packages which include: Unique Pizza and Subs themed sports bar and restaurant; smaller sit down beer and wine location; take-out and delivery only location; and or a Unique custom mobile kitchen. Their budget and desired level of ownership will dictate what package or combination of packages they will be awarded with.
James Vowler President and CEO of Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation said, “Joy has already started to interview potential franchisees and has given them the Unique Pizza Franchise Application to fill out. The EB-5 Program will act as a compliment and a catalyst to our frozen pizza program and future franchise sales in Japan, China and India. One of the biggest challenges an EB-5 investor faces, after they have made their initial investment and after the tenuous application and approval stage, is the success of their business. We will be distributing our signature Unique frozen pizzas and have plans to open corporate and franchised locations in the areas in which the investors will come from. This will allow potential investors to see, touch and taste their investment beforehand and allow them to be fully trained before their life changing move. Having Dr. Reddy as our Master Franchisee of India will also bring a lot of exposure to that region as he opens many corporate owned and franchised locations”

Unique Pizza and Subs Announces they have Retained J. Dhokia Law Firm for EB-5 Funding Program
PITTSBURGH, PA - September 23, 2014 - InvestorsHub NewsWire - Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (OTC Pink: UPZS) a Delaware Corporation, is pleased to announce it has retained the services of Joy Dhokia, from the Law Offices of Joy Dhokia, Esq. located in Brea CA. Ms. Dhokia and her law firm will prepare all necessary EB-5 documents and filings for Unique Pizza and Subs Corp. and use their best efforts to acquire qualified potential investors from China, Japan, and India. Ms. Dhokia has 19 years of experience in the field of international business immigration law.
Ms. Dhokia and her firm will work closely with the qualified future Unique Pizza franchisees to prepare, complete and file their USCIS EB-5 Visa application petitions.
Under the EB-5 program, qualifying foreign nationals can receive a green card with a minimum investment of $1,000,000 if they are able to prove that their at-risk money has created at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. citizens. Exceptions are made for $500,000 investments in some rural areas or areas with high unemployment rates. EB-5 investors receive conditional permanent resident status for two years. After this two year period, investors may apply to "remove the condition.” The U.S. government’s purpose for the EB-5 Program is to help stimulate foreign investment in the U.S., with the goal of boosting the economy and creating jobs.
China is now the dominant market for EB-5 investors. The number of Chinese EB-5 applicants, which has been growing since 2008, represented over 80 percent of the 2012 applicant pool that generated a reported $1.8 billion in total investment. For Fiscal Year 2011, the USCIS reported that China accounted for 73% of the total EB-5 visas issued. The massive influx over the past several years of Chinese EB-5 investment into the U.S. is one of the reasons why Washington, D.C. opened a Shanghai representative office in 2012. According to the Heritage Foundation's January 2013 China Global Investment Tracker report, China invested a record $54.2 billion in the U.S. in 2012.
Joy Dhokia, Founder & Senior Partner of the Law Offices of Joy Dhokia, Esq. said: “In my opinion, James Vowler is a visionary entrepreneur. Our office is privileged and honored to be working with him. We are delighted to be part of this exciting, new and Unique venture.”

James Vowler President & CEO of Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation said, “I was introduced to the EB5 program about a year ago and I have spent the last year studying the idiosyncrasies and nuances of the program while vetting numerous firms that claim to be able to handle the process of the EB5 program. Many of the companies I spoke with could handle some aspects of the program but none seemed to have mastered them all, until I met with Joy. Ms. Dhokia and her law firm can expertly take care of all the fillings in a timely fashion, and will use her 19 years of direct experience to locate and qualify prospective franchisees. Dr. Reddy also has many connections in China, Japan and especially India and will use his immense network in India to build awareness while he develops the country as the Master Franchisee.

About the Company:
Since the beginning of its development stages back in 1991 Unique Pizza and Subs clearly has separated themselves from the other major pizza franchises. They needed to have more than just the best product in the industry; they needed a way to grow rapidly in any market. They noticed all the major pizza franchises were predominately located in only highly populated “A” markets, leaving a tremendously large pizza eating population only serviced by independent pizza shops. Two of the main reasons the major pizza franchises do not locate in smaller “B” markets is because of their inferior quality of their product compared to the local independents and their corporate ownership is not usually welcomed. To succeed in a smaller market, a pizza shop needs to have these key elements: a high quality and consistently made product (all of their recipes were designed to have the quality of a "mom and pop" pizza shop with the consistency of a major franchise) and an owner that lives, works and pays taxes in that small market (all of the conversions of independent pizza shops into Unique Pizza and Subs retain the same local ownership). -
