PITTSBURGH, Feb. 1, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (Pink Sheets:UPZS), a Delaware Corporation, is proud to announce the opening of its newest location at 62456 Cozy Corner on Route 819 South in Mount Pleasant. The opening is part of an ongoing effort to open several stores in Western Pennsylvania in 2007. The new franchisee, Heather Papinchak of Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania, intends to open additional Unique Pizza and Subs' locations in the near future. "We have already started looking at possible locations for our second store. We are very excited to be part of the franchise at this stage in its history." Opening Papinchak's Mt. Pleasant location involved converting a recently closed Quiznos into a free-standing Unique Pizza and Subs franchise. Located on a well-traveled road in the heart of a busy shopping and retail district, Unique Pizza and Subs is expecting high visibility of its brand in a key market. As mandated by its franchise agreement, all orders will be placed through Unique Pizza and Subs' professionally staffed Customer Response Center.

Locations are also in the process of being finalized in Charlotte, North Carolina, Chesapeake,Virginia, San Diego and Los Angeles, California. There has also been an active conversion strategy for existing pizza restaurants underway in Pittsburgh, Boston and Norfolk, Virginia. One of Unique Pizza and Subs' key growth strategies is to convert existing pizza restaurants into Unique Pizza and Subs franchises through an organized method. "As we speak, we have members of our team in cities from California to Florida preparing for further nationwide expansion. With the momentum we are building, we are confident of meeting our ambitious objectives to be one of the top pizza franchises in the United States in the near future," stated Unique Pizza and Subs' President and CEO James Vowler. 2007 is proving to be extremely positive for Unique Pizza and Subs' growth. Franchising efforts have resulted in active negotiations throughout the United States, including Hawaii.
