DUKE MARKETING® WINS MOUTHWATERING BUSINESS
WITH KINDER'S MEATS-DELI-BBQ

San Rafael, Calif. - October 2006 - Duke Marketing®, an Integrated Marketing Communications firm, announced today it has won new business from Kinder's Meats-Deli-BBQ, the San Francisco Bay Area based sixty-year old brand with eleven locations. The recently franchised organization has retained Duke Marketing to provide integrated marketing communications for their fast-growing chain.

"We are excited about our growth plans and knew it was time to finally tell more people our unique story and about our famous award winning BBQ," said Joe Rainero, CEO of Kinder's, Inc.. "Duke Marketing has a great reputation for working with franchisees and multi-location organizations, driving sales and creative ideas, so we know we are in good hands."

Three generations of hard work and family pride began in 1946 when John Kinder opened his first meat market in the Bay Area town of San Pablo, California. In 1985 Kinder's was relocated to Concord, California, and the business became a popular neighborhood meat market, deli and catering company - not to mention, the only place in town to get a marinated ball tip steak sandwich. Soon after, the family opened a second store in Pleasant Hill, California, which was an immediate success.

Over the years, the Kinder's have developed their own collection of award winning BBQ sauces, marinades, rubs and spices. The combination of Kinder's products with a passion to make every customer feel at home has made each location a thriving success. Today, the Kinder's are sharing their success by introducing a franchise model that allows any qualified person the opportunity to own and operate their very own Kinder's Meats-Deli-BBQ establishment.

The Kinder's quick service establishments specialize in grilled sandwiches, deli sandwiches, custom meats and catering services. Since 1946, the Kinder's concept has evolved as a result of 60 years of experience focused on customer satisfaction, quality products, creative thinking and affordable pricing.

"I can't say Kinder's without my mouth watering," says Linda Duke. "The food, concept and brand is so unique and has been successful without a lot of marketing, advertising or public relations. We are planning to give them a boost with some branded promotions and publicity as well as take their sales to the next level, says Duke.

Duke Marketing specializes in marketing for multi-location and franchise organizations. With a full range of services, including: strategic consulting, research and market positioning, local store marketing, grand opening strategies, promotions, franchise communications, public relations, advertising-graphic design, collateral development and web development.
