FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 11, 2007 – Effective today, HomeandRoad, Inc. named Frances Kiradjian, CEO of The Kiradjian Group, a Founding Member and Chief Travel Officer for its planned network of HomeandRoad™ franchised local information websites in North America. The Company’s strategy is to leverage Ms. Kiradjian’s expertise in the areas of business planning, capitalization, travel supplier negotiation, sponsorship and marketing.
HomeandRoad™ has developed a solution to provide consumers with reliable, up-to-date local business and travel information, and businesses with both online and offline marketing solutions locally, regionally or nationally. The Company’s innovative solution is to franchise its nationally branded HomeandRoad™ “hometown website” and marketing products in each of 300 markets covering the U.S. and Canada.

Each localized HomeandRoad™ site follows the same layout and will provide consumers with one-stop for the most complete local information including A-Z business listings and ads, mapping and directions, local event schedules, ticketing, classified ads, tourist information, trip purchasing and more.
A nearly identical site, RVvisitorGuide.com, will launch simultaneously to serve the outdoor recreation and Recreational Vehicle industry and community.
Licensing the HomeandRoad franchise business model provides standardized products and services for consumers, travelers and businesses, as well as local content gathering, a local sales force and local, personal, customer service. The Company plans to begin franchising upon completion and registration of the FTC-required Uniform Franchise Offering Circular.

An important part of this process is to develop strategies and alliances and at the same time, locate the right strategic investors for the Company.”
