Healthy Fast Food Signs Area Development Deal to Open a Minimum of Five U-Swirl® Self-Serve Frozen Yogurt Cafes in Salt Lake City Metro Market

HENDERSON, Nev., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthy Fast Food, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HFFI, HFFIU), parent to U-SWIRL International, Inc., the owner and franchisor of U-SWIRL Frozen Yogurt® cafes, today announced the signing of a franchise area development agreement with Regents Management, LLC, who has contracted to open an initial two U-SWIRL self-serve frozen yogurt cafes in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, with another three cafes to follow in that market over the next five years.  

This marks the second signed area development deal between U-SWIRL International and Regents. In July 2010, Regents secured franchise development rights to open several U-SWIRL cafes in the Boise, Idaho metro area, where it is currently undergoing the build-out of its first location scheduled to be opened in the next few weeks.  

Rick Bailey, General Manager of Regent's new Salt Lake City U-SWIRL operations, stated, "Working with the franchise development team at U-SWIRL International has been nothing short of fantastic, thus fueling our interest in expanding our relationship with the U-SWIRL brand.  We chose Salt Lake City as our second U-SWIRL area to develop due to the fact that it is one of the fastest growing markets in the nation with the highest rate of job growth.  Moreover, it has long proven to be a city where family values are greatly emphasized and healthy, active lifestyles are preferred.  Consequently, we are confident that the U-SWIRL self-serve concept will be quickly embraced by Salt Lakers of all ages and win market distinction as the 'go to' place for delicious, healthier frozen treats."

Since first launching the national franchise marketing effort for its U-SWIRL self-serve frozen yogurt concept in mid 2009, U-SWIRL International has granted area development rights to partners in Monmouth County, NJ; Phoenix, AZ; Tucson, AZ; Boise, ID and now Salt Lake City, UT; and signed franchise agreements with partners in Reno, NV and Marietta, GA for its U-SWIRL self-serve frozen yogurt concept. With the signing of the area development agreement with Regents, it brings the number of new U-SWIRL franchise cafes expected to be opened over the next three to five years to 35, and will increase the total number of Company-owned (6) and franchised cafes (37) to 43.
