MILLER PLACE, N.Y., May 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rockelle Corp.
(OTC:RKLC.OB) (BULLETIN BOARD: RKLC.OB) , a developer, owner,
operator and franchiser of quick service restaurants, cafes and
specialty food concepts, announces that they have signed a lease
for a Taco Time franchise in Long Island, NY. The February 2007
Quick Service Restaurant Magazine (http://www.qsrmagazine.com/)
featured Taco Time on its front cover and noted that Taco Time was
one of the fastest growing franchises with under 300 locations in
2006. The article also reported that sales for Taco Time exceeded
$135 million in 2006, with sales per unit averaging $562,000. As
previously announced, Rockelle purchased from Kahala Corp.
(http://www.kahalacorp.com/) the exclusive area development rights
for Taco Time for all five Burroughs of New York along with Nassau
and Suffolk counties in Long Island, NY. The combined population of
Nassau and Suffolk counties and the five Boroughs exceeds 11
million. "Taco Time uses only fresh, wholesome ingredients and
prides itself in offering healthy choices. From vegetarian items to
their unique line of crisp burritos, they use skinless chicken and
low-fat beef that is never frozen," said Mr. Gerard Stephan,
Rockelle's President & CEO. "This Taco Time will be in Port
Jefferson Station, LI, NY, in the heart of Suffolk County. The area
population is approximately 1.5 million people and the location is
near several local colleges and universities." Mr. Stephan added,
"This location will have both sit-down dining and drive-thru
access. Additionally, through Rockelle's relationship with Chock
full o'Nuts, we will be able to offer a full line of coffee and
breakfast items. That gives us the ability to serve breakfast,
lunch and dinner. We will use this location as the model for future
New York area Taco Time franchise sales." Mr. Stephan continued, "I
built the first Quizno's in Suffolk Co. just four years ago, and
now there are over fifty locations. I feel we can have the same
type of success with Taco Time. We are excited about our
relationship with Kahala Corp. and look forward to what Taco Time
will do for our revenue and company growth in the years ahead."
