DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - June 11, 2008) - Spicy Pickle™ (OTCBB: SPKL) fast-casual restaurants announced today that it has opened a new corporate location in Denver, Colorado. This marks the 40th restaurant currently opened and operating.

The new restaurant is located in a multi-unit complex at 2300 Parker Road, Aurora, CO 80231 at the corner of Iliff Street and Parker Road. Tenants include Chipotle, Starbucks, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and Tokyo Joes in addition to the Spicy Pickle™. The phone number is 303-696-9474 and the fax is 303-696-9471.

Marc Geman, CEO of Spicy Pickle Franchising, Inc., commented: "This 40th location is our seventh company owned restaurant. The site has been on our radar for some time and is now open. Construction of the pad took longer than originally anticipated which delayed the start of our construction. We believe the area is underserved for fast-casual concepts so we expect our restaurant to do well at this very busy intersection. We are also pleased to be sharing this site with familiar concepts that will attract customers."
