UFood Restaurant Group, Inc. (OTCBB: UFFC) announced today that the
company has begun construction on the first of three locations to
open at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.
Located in Building 6010, the 1770 square foot restaurant is
expected to open in 60 to 90 days. UFood Restaurant Group was
awarded a contract by the Army and Air Force Exchange Service
(AAFES) to build and operate three UFood Grill units at Aberdeen
Proving Ground.
"This is an exciting moment for our company as we prepare to
enter into the military channel," said UFood CEO George Naddaff.
"We believe that our better-for-you quick-service concept will
provide an excellent foodservice solution to the busy,
health-conscious men and women who work at Aberdeen."
"UFood Grill is a terrific addition for the troops and their
families at Aberdeen. UFood offers a healthy and convenient option
for the Aberdeen community which will enhance the quality of life
for everyone affiliated with the base. Healthy food options play an
important part in maintaining a ready and effective force," said
Kevin Wensing, a retired Navy Captain and partner in MBUF, LLC/Dark
Horse Capital Partners, a private investment group of military
veterans which signed a joint venture with UFood Restaurant Group
to focus on the expansion of the UFood Grill concept on U.S.
military installations around the world.

committed to offering consumers food that tastes great, is lower in
calories and fat and, wherever possible, serves meals that are
antibiotic and hormone-free, gluten-free as well as natural,
grass-fed beef and cage-free eggs. UFood boasts a wide-ranging menu
that includes lean burgers, rice bowls, salads, wraps, paninis and
smoothies.
