Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (Pink Sheets: UPZS - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=UPZS.PK )

Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, has begun to expand its presence in its home market of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Over the next 60 days, Unique Pizza and Subs will be opening three new locations in Monaca, Wexford and Robinson Township. Unique Pizza and Subs is in various stages of negotiations with numerous prospective franchisees throughout Western Pennsylvania. Unique Pizza and Subs is projecting the opening of 6 (six) new stores and 25 (twenty-five) independent stores converted to UPZSs by the end of 2007 with total sales of $13,285,300.

James Vowler, President and CEO of Unique Pizza and Subs, stated, ''As the only publicly traded pizza franchise that is headquartered in Pittsburgh, we are extremely excited about our growth throughout Western Pennsylvania. I designed Unique Pizza and Subs from its conception to be a publicly traded, nationwide franchise. A franchise that would have the quality of a 'mom-and-pop' pizza shop but with the consistency of a major franchise. According to Pizza Today Magazine; 'Western PA has more pizza shops per capita than any other area in the U.S.,' which has made it the perfect market for us to showcase our success. Over the last 15 years, we have won many awards, we have been the official pizzas of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Riverhounds, but our biggest success is the intense loyalty of our customers in the Pittsburgh market. With the addition of thirty-one new locations throughout Western Pennsylvania, it is just another of many strong indications to our shareholders how committed we are to becoming one of the top ten pizza franchises in the U.S.''

The Pittsburgh market will allow Unique Pizza and Subs to demonstrate the tremendous benefits of building an experienced and talented management team. This executive team assembled by President and CEO, James Vowler, has produced a powerfully strategic business model that will strengthen market share, acquire new franchisees rapidly, and dominate a competitive market like Pittsburgh. Unique Pizza and Subs thrives on competition because no other national franchise can produce the quality of a ''mom-and-pop'' pizzeria while maintaining the consistency and strength of a major franchise.

Unique Pizza and Subs has many advantages over the competition (superior product, a unique and extensive menu, a Customer Response Center) but the main focus of the investment community is UPZS's ability to grow rapidly in any market. Given that Unique Pizza and Subs rapid growth is not limited by demographics or household incomes, it is making the brokerage firms and individual investors take notice. All of these factors are proof of UPZS's commitment towards national expansion and dedication to building value for their shareholders. Other new markets scheduled for opening this summer are: Atlanta, GA; Austin, TX; Boston, MA; Milwaukee, WI; and Norfolk, VA.

Paid, Inc.'s rapidly growing celebrity services is chalking up the wins for Doug Flutie, Quinton Porter, Ben Graham and numerous others in its burgeoning list of professional athlete clientele for broadcast, player contracts and marketing.

Kristen Kuliga, one of only a handful of active female NFL players agent, an attorney and VP of Paid celebrity services, has just concluded negotiations on a sports broadcasting contract for Doug Flutie, who recently announced his retirement from the New England Patriots after an amazing, 25-year football career which launched a new football era for Boston College and spanned two countries, three national championships and hundreds of honors. After considering numerous offers, Flutie, 43, has signed a three year deal to be a college football analyst for ABC and ESPN.

"We've had a long history of working with Doug as his NFL player agent and we're extremely pleased that we were able to assist him in launching this new phase of his career," said Ms. Kuliga. "With Paid celebrity services' broad array of sports marketing services, ranging from agent representation and sponsorship negotiation to special appearances and event management, we're able to assist athletes and help them build their image and leverage their brand at all stages of their careers."

Kuliga noted, "Athletes face tremendous pressure and demands on their time and we believe that one of our most important roles is to help professional athletes locate and secure the best opportunities year round that will make their lives easier and help them fulfill their goals in both their professional and personal lives. With the additional web site, fan club, ecommerce and merchandising capabilities available in one stop through Paid celebrity services, we're able to offer our clients far more than traditional sports marketing firms to help athletes monetize their brands and build fan loyalty. Our reputation is growing, in a large part due to our many happy clients spreading the word among their peers. We expect continued client base growth in 2006 and beyond." Kuliga represents numerous NFL players in their team contract negotiations and recently negotiated several contracts:

Ben Graham

Kuliga assisted Ben Graham in renegotiating his contract with the New York Jets. The six-year deal included a signing bonus, roster bonus and off-season workout bonus each year of the deal. Graham, from Australia, won the starting punting position for the Jets last year after Kuliga helped him secure a tryout and eventual contract with the Jets after playing 12 seasons of Aussie Rules Football where he was one of the biggest stars. With the Jets, Graham was rated the sixth-best in the AFC for gross average punting yards and net average yards.

Graham said, "I am extremely pleased with my long-term contract and for the opportunity with the Jets that Kristen brought to the table for me. I like the security of the long term deal, especially after bringing my family up from Australia."

Quinton Porter

Keeping the Boston College quarterback tradition alive, Kuliga and Justin Foster, Paid director of Athlete Marketing, recently recruited and signed Boston College quarterback Quinton Porter for full representation. Porter signed a three-year contract with the Houston Texans. Since joining the team, Porter has moved up to third on the depth chart.

"I have been very pleased with the services K Sports has provided," Porter said. "Kristen and Justin have been great, providing me with the best opportunity possible with an NFL team and a great endorsement deal with Reebok."

Jeremy Cain and McKenzi Smith

Kuliga also helped Jeremy Cain, a long snapper and linebacker with the Chicago Bears, negotiate a three-year deal allocating him to NFL Europe where he played in the World Bowl on Saturday, May 27th for Amsterdam and posted 39 tackles for the season with Amsterdam. In addition, Kuliga worked with McKenzi Smith to sign as a running back with the Kansas City Chiefs after a stint on their practice squad and a season in Europe with the Amsterdam Admirals where he started in five games.
