NEW UNO CHICAGO
GRILL OPENS IN WRENTHAM
New Uno to Feature Curbside Delivery, Low-Carbohydrate
Options and
School Partners Program
Boston (April 28, 2004) –
Uno Restaurant Holdings Corp. announces the opening of its
31st Uno Chicago Grill restaurant in Massachusetts. The
new Uno Chicago Grill is conveniently located at the Wrentham
Premium Outlets and will officially open for business on
Thursday, April 29, 2004. The hours of operation are Sunday
through Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 a.m.
"We are proud to be part of the Wrentham community
and are excited to open another Uno Chicago Grill in Massachusetts,"
said Uno President and Chief Operating Officer Paul MacPhail.
"Although our guests may already know and love our
famous Chicago-style deep dish pizza, they’ll be pleased
to find items like our popular, juicy steaks on the menu
as well."
The newly built Uno Chicago Grill will seat 222 guests
and will open with 160 employees. The restaurant will look
and feel like an old Chicago warehouse, with Windy City
memorabilia decorating the walls and mahogany trim throughout
the bar. In addition to serving a full menu, including new
low-carbohydrate options, curbside delivery service will
be available.
To further involvement and commitment to the Wrentham community,
the new restaurant will offer Uno’s School Partner
Program. The program includes several educational events,
like free Pizza Maker Parties and fundraising opportunities
for local schools and community organizations.
The new Uno will be run by General Manager Mike Edwards.
A restaurant industry veteran, Mike has been with Uno Chicago
Grill for 10 years. "Uno Chicago Grill provides a high
quality causal dining experience and offers the best food
around," said Mike Edwards. "In addition, we believe
that the convenience of curbside delivery will be big hit
with Wrentham-area guests."
In 2003, the restaurant known for its Chicago Original
Deep Dish Pizza™ evolved its name from Pizzeria Uno
to Uno Chicago Grill to reflect the variety of its menu.
Today, Uno Chicago Grill has the same great pizza, but also
offers a complete casual dining menu, including ribs, seafood,
juicy burgers and steaks, innovative pasta dishes, scrumptious
appetizers, low-carbohydrate alternatives and desserts.
The company continues to earn accolades from industry and
business publications. In 2003, Uno Chicago Grill was named
by Entrepreneur Magazine as
the #1 franchise opportunity in their category. The company
also was selected by Franchise Times
as one of the top 20 companies to watch in 2003.
Based in Boston, Uno Restaurant Holdings Corp. currently
has a system of 202 company-owned and franchise full service
units. Uno Chicago Grill restaurants are located in 34 states,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, South Korea and the
United Arab Emirates. The company also operates a consumer
foods division, which supplies airlines, movie theaters,
hotel restaurants and supermarkets with both frozen and
refrigerated private label foods and branded Uno products.
