WILMINGTON, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Port City Java®:

Same Unit Sales:

Port City Java announces its same unit corporate café sales increased 5.3% for April 2008 over the same period in 2007. Overall, corporate café sales increased 15.4% in April 2008 compared to April 2007. The company is pleased with the financial results and believes the sales increase validates the new line of breakfast wraps (Breakfast with That™ Program) the company has been rolling out since 2007. Given the current economic environment, management believes that the daily experience at Port City Java is highly valued by our guests.
