UDS Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:UDSG) has announced that their pilot agreement with Subway® has been extended into 2010, and that Washington, D.C. has been selected to be the first major market to introduce Subway Catering & Delivery (SCD) utilizing the UDS proprietary delivery management solution. The SDC launch is scheduled for October (2009) in D.C., which is ranked as the 8th Nielsen Media Market, with 450 Subway® restaurants.

Until now UDS has been engaged by Subway® franchisees on an individual basis in various markets. The Washington, D.C. launch signifies the first concentrated effort by an entire major market franchise group to implement the UDS One Number Solution. Using the 888-SUB-TO-GO phone number and Subway® Catering & Delivery Platform all participating franchisees are networked to serve orders on a collective basis, unlike typical quick serve restaurants that employ individual store number ordering.

In a concerted marketing effort, widespread media advertising and in-store promotion, including television, radio, newspaper, and direct mail, UDS is receiving support from the D.C. market franchise advertising fund and Subway® to build market-wide consumer awareness of the 888-SUB-TO-GO number and online ordering capability being introduced for the first time

“We want consumers to think of Subway® first for catering and delivery,” stated Mr. Ryan Coblin, CEO and Chairman of UDS Group, Inc., “One of the most recognized of all brands, Subway® will now be delivering regular menu items and catering options direct to the door of businesses, residences and other venues. In short, Subway® is now going to be just a call, or click, away.”

David Dickerson, Vice President of Operations, Subway® Development Corporation of Washington, remarked, “SDC is very pleased to partner with UDS and excited about the opportunities this program brings for our franchise owners to target the corporate and residential catering markets.”
