Frats Ices To Open In Brooklyn

Putting a New Twist on an Old Favorite—Ravioli Franchise Concept Set to Open Second Location on 7th Avenue in Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, NY (Monday, June 28, 2004) - Only one year after opening their first unit, Fratelli Ravioli Franchise
Group announced today they will open their second Frats Ices® on Friday, July 9th. The new shop, located at
169 7th Avenue in Brooklyn, will feature the signature menu item that gave birth to the concept. Frats Ices
specializes in serving delicious fried ravioli with a variety of dipping sauces, which they lovingly referred to as
"Frats®".

"We've been making fried ravioli in our ravioli stores for years," said Larry Vivola, Co-Founder of Frats Ices,
referring to the chain of Fratelli Ravioli® stores his family has operated in Brooklyn since 1978. "Our
customers used to call to find out when we'd be frying up the next batch. The demand for them was so strong,
we just knew we were on to something big," adds Vivola. Frats Ices serves a variety of Frats, from cheese
(traditional) to beef, chicken, and even seafood-filled Frats. They also produce dessert Frats in two
distinctive flavors—cheesecake and chocolate, both served with a choice of sweet dipping sauces. Guests
can end their experience by trying one of Frats Ices many varieties of Italian ices, ice cream mix-ins, and
traditional spumoni, each created from Vivola's time-proven family recipes.

The new Brooklyn location will be the first Frats Ices to open since the company announced their plans to
offer the concept as a franchise opportunity. "As a franchise business opportunity, there's really nothing else
out there like Frats Ices," said Christian Vivola, Larry's brother and co-founder of Frats Ices. "We can put
someone into a business of there own for $80,000 to $100,000, and offer them what we feel is one of the
most simple, low-labor operations available." The company produces all the menu items at the same Brooklyn
facility used to produce the ravioli and sauces sold in their Fratelli Ravioli stores.

Fratelli Ravioli Franchise Group operates and franchises both Frats Ices and Fratelli Ravioli stores. Providing
delicious Italian food made from only the finest and freshest ingredients, Frats Ices invokes the true meaning
of "Old Neighborhood Brooklyn".
