Hot Same-store-sales In January

(Monday, February 13, 2006) - Hot Stuff Foods™ President/CEO and newly elected Chairman, Des Hague announced a record increase in same store sales of 12.75% over January 2005. "We are ecstatic with the commitment our franchise partners have made to grow their foodservice business," exclaimed Hague, who recently partnered with his executive management team and Allied Capital to purchase the company. "This kicks off a new chapter of success stories that we expect to write throughout 2006 and beyond." Hague said the same store sales increase puts Hot Stuff Foods™ on track to hit the aggressive goals set by the new ownership team. In addition the numbers come on the heels of other positive growth indicators including the company's 500 plus upgrades and/or new unit growth over the last 12 months.









Hague cited several new initiatives that have contributed to the same store sales growth including the rollout of Hot Stuff's extremely popular Palm Pizza™ which is currently being promoted nationwide on ESPN radio. The company has also added a few new line extensions for customer choosing including 11 and 14 inch specialty pizzas for both lunch and dinner day-part, the new portable Mexican Chimiz™ and Market Selects™ sandwich line.









"We are committed to positioning our franchise partners as a 24/7 food solutions provider while keeping their operating costs to a minimum," reported Hague, "and for our new franchisees, we still have the lowest start-up cost in the industry."









Hague noted retailer confidence continues to be strong. "The fact that our new executive ownership team," noted Hague, "is the same leadership that has spearheaded Hot Stuff's growth over 64% these past three years, should continue to inspire confidence in all our business partners. We are committed more than ever to our corporate philosophy of "Creating Value…Every Day!SM"
