Smoky Market Foods, Inc. Announces Plan to Open Kiosks in Westfield Proper

WEBSTER CITY, IA - 02/18/09— Smoky Market Foods,
Inc. (OTCBB: SMKY) announced today that it plans to install its 150
square foot, self-contained kiosks into nine high-traffic malls
principally located in California that are owned by Westfield
Properties.  The Company has a (non-binding) letter of intent for the
rollout of the kiosks, which is subject to the Company’s receipt of
financing in the near future. “Westfield Properties likes our concept
of delivering premium quality smoked foods in a small kiosk
footprint, and they are giving us center court positions in their
highest traffic malls,” said Edward Feintech, CEO of Smoky Market
Foods, Inc.

With proceeds of interim financing recently received, the Company is
also nearing completion of its flagship Smoky Market restaurant-store
located in Los Gatos, CA.  The 1,200 square foot in-line venue will
offer full-service dining, take-out, product-only catering, and
retail display merchandising of selected items from its packaged food
line.  “This pilot restaurant-store will be a beautiful location and
will demonstrate the operational attributes of our innovative
foodservice concept; it will serve as a training store for all
restaurant-stores to be subsequently opened in the Northern
California region,” Mr. Feintech said.  Subject to receipt of
expected financing, the Company intends to begin an expansion of the
1,200 to 1,500 square foot restaurant-store motif in selected
communities in the West Coast region.
