Toledo, OH ---Jim Tippin, owner of four car washes in Toledo, OH, and finalist in the
2004 World Poker Open, and his brother Jerry, a retired air conditioning expert and retail card shop owner, have signed a franchise agreement to bring Marco's Pizza, a 26-year old Toledo based chain, into the Las Vegas area.

Jack Butorac, Jr., president, Marco's Franchising, LLC, announced the agreement and
pending expansion which represents Marco's first growth west of the Mississippi. The
new Marco's franchisee and Tippin Company, JBGB Enterprises, LLC, plans to open 10
stores in the Las Vegas area.

Jim Tippin, a resident of Toledo who has owned up to four car washes in Toledo at
various times, and his brother Jerry, who retired from Carrier Air Conditioning in Florida and operated a card shop there, will open their first Marco's Pizza in Henderson, NV, a Las Vegas suburb, in September. The address of the new store is 90 S. Stephanie.

"Marco's and the Las Vegas area are a perfect fit," Jerry Tippin said. "As natives of
Toledo, we grew up with Marco's. They have a great product, a reputation for great
service, and a great image, and Henderson is one of the fastest growing cities in the
country."

Jim Tippin said that while he was successful with his car wash operation which he has
since sold, a recent windfall during a professional poker tourney helped finance the new Marco's venture. "I had acquired a second home in Nevada and joined a local poker club," Jim Tippin explained. "I thought I had become a pretty good poker player, so I entered the ‘ Jack Binion World Poker Open' in Mississippi organized by the son of the founder in Vegas. I entered a satellite tourney, won, and first prize was a seat in the Open. I finished third, walked away with my winnings and decided to join the Marco's team."

The new store is expected to employ some 25 persons. With 125 stores in Ohio, Indiana and Ohio, Marco's Pizza serves custom made pizzas, freshly- baked submarine
sandwiches and soft drinks. Additional information on Marco's is available at
