UFood Grill signs 35-unit franchise deal

July 14, 2010

UFood Restaurant Group Inc. has partnered with Congusto LP of Arlington, Texas, to open 35 new UFood Grill locations in the Southwest United States.

Congusto LP is a Southwest-based enterprise that specializes in the development of restaurants that offer alternative dining options designed to promote health.

Congusto is a new development venture for Gerald and Troy Alley, the owners of Con-Real LP, Bravado Partners, and The Alley Group. The creation of Congusto complements the Alley’s other entities in the areas of real estate development, construction and facility ownership that serve the commercial, institutional and hospitality industries throughout the United States.

“This 35 unit expansion of UFood Grill is a tremendous reinforcement of a brand dedicated to providing healthier fast-casual food options," said George Naddaff, chairman and CEO of UFood Grill. "Across the U.S. consumers are demanding high quality, healthier food that tastes great. The general public, large private and government facilities, airports, colleges, are embracing UFood Grill, where delicious meets nutritious.”

In May, UFood announced the signing of a master license agreement with Hudson Group Retail LLC for the expansion of the concept to 10 additional U.S. airports.
