UFood Grill & Sodexo to Enter Washington D.C.’s Department of Transportation

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UFood Restaurant Group Inc. (OTCBB:UFFC) announced today that they will open a UFood Grill restaurant in FAA headquarters, located in the Department of Transportation Building in Washington, D.C. with Sodexo, Inc., who recently announced they were awarded a 7-year contract by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to operate food services at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

UFood Grill CEO George Naddaff proudly asserted, “Our growth into the Federal Aviation Administration marks an important turning point for UFood Grill and will open right on the heels of our three new locations at the Aberdeen Proving Ground military complex in Aberdeen, MD. We could not be more proud to be bringing our fresh, healthier menu of offerings to another active US government location in the Washington, DC area.”

On a related note, the White House and Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs announced initiatives to provide healthier fare to US dining halls and military bases last month. The move will adjust the Pentagon’s nutritional standards for the first time in 20 years, bringing more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthier food choices to American military in the coming months.

UFood Grill currently operates restaurants in a number of trade channels including airports, hospitals, shopping centers and urban storefronts. The company’s airport locations are in Boston, Cleveland and Dallas. In addition, two units are under construction at Salt Lake City International Airport, expected to open in late April 2012.

The place where “delicious meets nutritious,” UFood Grill is committed to offering consumers great tasting food that is lower in calories and fat and, wherever possible, serves meals that are antibiotic and hormone-free, gluten-free as well as natural, grass-fed beef and cage-free eggs. UFood boasts a wide-ranging menu that includes lean burgers, rice bowls, salads, wraps, paninis and smoothies.
