Revenue News

BOSTON, MA - 02/18/09— UFood Restaurant Group,
Inc. (OTCBB: UFFC), an operator of “better-for-you” fast-casual
restaurants, has been named “Best New Food & Beverage Concept” in the
Small Food & Beverage Operator category by Airport Revenue News’ 2009
Best Airports & Concessionaires competition. UFood Grill was
nominated by Logan Airport, the site of their first airport location,
and beat out 18 other concepts for the title.  This is an exciting
win for the concept as they are preparing to expand their airport
presence with a store opening at DFW Airport at the end of the month.

UFood Grill has been approved for a second location at Logan Airport
in Terminal C (United Airlines).  Also, UFood Grill has a number of
applications in process for additional airports across the country.

UFood Grill takes a back-to-basics approach to tasty, healthful
cooking, where everything served is high quality and guests are
encouraged to make dining choices that work for their life and the
way they like to eat.  The UFood Restaurant Group was founded by
George Naddaff, best known for his role as founder of Boston Chicken
(now Boston Market), Living and Learning Schools, and Mulberry
Childcare Centers. To learn more, please visit http://www.ufoodgrill.com.
