Item 5. Other Events.



Hudson's Grill International, Inc. (the "Company"), a Texas corporation based in Dallas, Texas, reports that on July 23, 2002, it received a signed franchise agreement from Acceleration, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company. The franchise agreement involves opening a new Hudson's Grill restaurant franchise to be located at 12 North Central Avenue, Marshfield, Wisconsin. This is the second franchise for Bill Hall and Al Klein, who are the principals behind the Wausau, Wisconsin, franchise. Acceleration, LLC, paid $15,000, which represents the remaining portion of its franchise fee. Previously, Acceleration paid $10,000 toward the franchise fee when it entered into a development agreement with the Company. A further reduction of $10,000 in fees was negotiated with the franchisee because the Company will be relieved of many of its obligations to help open the new restaurant, and thus, the Company will avoid many of the expenses usually incurred by it in helping to open a new franchisee's restaurant. Instead, Acceleration, LLC, will use employees from the Wausau Hudson's Grill to help open the new restaurant. The new restaurant is currently scheduled to open in September 2002.
