UPZS.PK – Unique Pizza and Subs Announces Tier Change OTC Current Tier

 Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (OTC Pink: UPZS), a Delaware Corporation, announces a Tier Change – The symbol, UPZS, no longer is classified as OTC Pink Limited. As of Wednesday, Dec. 07, 2011, UPZS resides in the OTC Pink Current tier.

With this positive Tier Change UPZS is now in a position to move the company in a forward and positive direction. Over the past three years the management deemed it necessary to completely restructure the UPZS stock and personnel of the company, to enable future growth and success in the pizza industry. During this period the company parted ways with much of its previous management personnel, parted ways with consultant Garland Harris, restructured and or settled debt (ongoing, revised and updated its growth strategy, secured a nationwide food purveyor, and out of absolute necessity completely restructured its common stock.

James Vowler, president and CEO of UPZS, said, “The past three years we have taken a deliberately measured and painstaking effort to rebuild Unique into the great pizza franchise it was always meant to be. Before taking UPZS public, I spent 16 years and millions of personal dollars developing Unique into the best pizza in the marketplace, with a proven franchise formula for success. After UPZS went public, I surrounded myself with people I felt had the same common goals, and realized and understood the risks and sacrifices necessary for the Unique to succeed. I made many miscalculations and mistakes during the early stages. In 2008, UPZS was named QSR Magazine’s Franchise of the Year, above such restaurants as McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell. With that brand of publicity and prestige, it would have been easy to keep UPZS moving forward, but I felt it was necessary to take a big step backwards and completely restructure the personnel, franchisees, stock and business partnerships, so Unique could grow to be the pizza empire it was always meant to be. I would like to thank 2500+ shareholders of UPZS for their loyalty, continued support and belief in Unique. It hasn’t been easy but, with our superior product, restructured stock and our advanced expansion formula, we will grow to become the top notch pizza franchise all of us know we can be!”A
