"We are excited to be associated with someone with the enthusiasm and experience of Johnny Lee," said RedBrick Pizza Worldwide, Inc. President Jim Minidis. "Lee's background in business finance will serve him well as a master developer," added Minidis.

"This is the best pizza I ever had," said Lee when he described his first experience with RedBrick Pizza at the RedBrick Cafe inIrvine. This is high praise from Lee who is originally from theNew York City area--famous for its excellent pizza. "The combination of this great-tasting pizza and its healthier nutritional value compared to ordinary pizza really sweetened the deal for me," Lee added.

Lee noted that theSan Diego area has a lot of opportunity and very strong demographics. He expects to open his first franchise in the city ofCarlsbad by the end of the year and then expand toLa Jolla and the Gaslamp District inSan Diego.

"We have demonstrated our system is innovative, geared for growth, and our business model can be adapted to audiences around the world," said Minidis. "Our fire-roasted gourmet pizza is lower in carbohydrates and fat and has about one-third the sodium of ordinary pizza which makes it appealing to those looking for a healthier alternative," he added.
