Aero Exhaust Also Reports Successful Attendance at Recent PRI Show


MURRIETA, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 19, 2007 -- Franchise Capital Corporation (Other OTC:FCCN.PK - News), which recently closed its acquisition of Aero Exhaust, Inc., a world leader in performance exhaust airflow technology and NASCAR Performance Partner, today announced that the company was invited by Allied Exhaust, the largest of Aero's regional warehouse distributors, to attend a customer appreciation event that attracted approximately 250 of Allied's largest customers.
This event provided Aero and other selected aftermarket product manufacturers and distributors the opportunity to meet one-on-one with owners of muffler shops and other retail outlets that sell Aero products. The event was also attended by Allied warehouse managers and owners that stock Aero's product lines.

Allied Exhaust (www.alliedexhaust.com), founded in the 1960s, is the largest independent warehouse distributor of automotive exhaust in the country with 16 distribution centers spanning 18 western states. Allied Exhaust began stocking the Aero product in a limited number of warehouses early in 2007 and has continued to roll the product out to the remainder of its warehouses throughout the year. Allied is now stocking the Aero products throughout its entire system, and links to Aero's website are included on the Allied Exhaust website.

Aero representatives who attended the customer appreciation event used the time with Allied customers to publicize the launch of the company's STX product line. Aero's STX product line combines the technology of the Turbine muffler with the sound reduction and quality of the Stealth line.

Bryan Hunsaker, chief executive officer of Franchise Capital and Aero Exhaust, commented, "This Allied customer event was an important opportunity for Aero. It would have taken considerable time and resources to meet the number of major Allied customers in the western United States that attended this event. We used this occasion to introduce the company and its products to those who were unfamiliar with Aero and to discuss new product lines, including the STX line of muffler products, with those customers who were already familiar with Aero."

While certain Aero management representatives attended the Allied customer event, Aero's marketing team appeared in a joint exhibit with Dr. Gas, Inc. at the 20th annual Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show, which took place earlier this month in Orlando, Florida.

"Our exhibit at PRI was a resounding success, and we look forward to announcing tangible results from the show in the near term. We were able to meet with a number of distributors at this show, expand awareness of our products and discuss new potential relationships that would result in additional points of distribution for Aero products," added Mr. Hunsaker.
