Ufood Restaurant Group, Inc. Opens In Boston's Logan Airport

BOSTON (Tuesday, January 01, 2008) - UFood Restaurant Group, Inc. (OTCBB: UFFC), a franchisor and operator
of fast-casual food service restaurants and nutritional product retail stores, today announced the successful
opening of UFood Grill at Boston Logan International Airport. The Airport's newly renovated Terminal B
serves millions of American Airlines (NYSE: AMR) travelers per year, and UFood Grill is the first eatery a
traveler encounters after the security check-point of the terminal. Capitalizing on consumer demand for
quick service restaurants that offer great-tasting food with healthy attributes– such as reduced saturated fat,
trans fat, and processed carbohydrates–UFood Grill stands out among the traditional airport fare.
Boston Logan International Airport is one the 20 busiest airports in the U.S. with over 27 million passengers
a year; Terminal B being the busiest terminal within the airport. The billion-dollar renovation project for
Terminal B includes adding an additional 15,000 square feet of concession space to provide travelers with a
variety of eateries with diverse menus.
"We have gotten a tremendous amount of positive feedback from the travelers that have experienced UFood
at the airport," said George Naddaff, Chairman and CEO of UFood. "The opening of UFood at Boston's
Logan Airport is the first of what we hope will become a new, better way for travelers to eat at airports all
across the country. We are thrilled with the success of the launch, as it has proven to us that consumers
have long been waiting for a diverse, healthier menu such as ours. Being in one of the busiest terminals puts
us in front of millions of patrons that will engage in UFood Grill's concept feel great…eat smart."

Panera Bread Company (Nasdaq: PNRA), and caters to customers who desire the convenience of a fast-food
