Kokopelli Sonoran Grill Schedules Opening of Their Newest Location in Toledo, Ohio

Franchise Capital Corporation (OTC BB: FCCN) is very pleased to announce that Kokopelli Franchise Company, LLC will be opening its newest Kokopelli Sonoran Grill location in Toledo, OH. The opening is scheduled for the week of February 6th, 2006. In addition to this store there are other restaurants in various stages of completion; namely, Detroit MI, Portland, OR, and Phoenix AZ.

Don Allio, Franchise Capital President and COO, who is also the President and CEO of Kokopelli Franchise Company, LLC, stated, "Since accepting my recent positions I have been focusing my attention on accelerating the openings of the Kokopelli franchises we have sold to date. The Toledo opening is just one of many we hope to announce in the coming months."

Kokopelli was founded in Phoenix, Arizona in 1997 and differentiates itself from other fast-casual chains by serving authentic hand-blended Sonoran spices, beans slow cooked everyday, never refried and tortillas steamed to order. Food is served to its customers "platter" style. Additionally, Kokopelli serves menu items found in full service Mexican restaurants such as, Sonoran Garlic Steak, Grilled Chicken Sedona, Margarita Shrimp, Chili Colorado, beer, and frozen-margaritas.

Kokopelli Sonoran Grill offers made-to-order big-burritos, tacos, fajitas, and other Sonoran favorites, including a full line of salads. They use only the freshest ingredients using no preservatives, or additives. We offer complete dine-in and take-out service in high volume retail centers and other high traffic commercial locations throughout the United States.
