"Cbeyond's Voice and Data Services for Small Businesses Enable Kim & Scott's Chicago Pretzels to Focus on Growth "

Reliability, Mobility and Single-Provider Approach to Communications Allow Gourmet Pretzel Makers to Thrive by Focusing on Their Core Business Rather Than on a Business Communication Solution

ATLANTA, Aug 24, 2009 -- Cbeyond, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBEY), a leading provider of voice, data and mobile business applications to more than 46,000 small businesses across the country, has enabled its customer, a Chicago-based husband-and-wife entrepreneur team, Kim & Scott's Gourmet Pretzels, to focus on growing its popular pretzel bakery into a national gourmet food retailer rather than spend valuable time managing its voice and data services.

Since 2005, Cbeyond has provided Kim & Scott's Gourmet Pretzels (www.kimandscotts.com) with an integrated business communication solution that includes Internet, landline and mobile phone services. The single-provider/many solutions approach has simplified voice and data services for Kim and Scott Holstein, the co-founders of the pretzel bakery located on Chicago's Northwest side, enabling the entrepreneurs to focus on what counts for their business - delicious pretzels.

"Cbeyond's voice and data services deliver unparalleled reliability which enables us to manage hundreds of calls a week and gives our small business all of the same communications and IT security advantages large businesses have," said Kim Holstein. "The reliability of its mobile business applications is critical on our normal business days and is an extremely important component in helping us focus on the areas that generate business growth and expansion."

Kim & Scott's Gourmet Pretzels has sold more than 42 million pretzels via grocery store chains like Albertsons, Safeway, Jewel, Wild Oats and Whole Foods. The company, founded in 1995, also sells its pretzels at Borders Books & Music, Barnes & Noble, through regular appearances on the QVC television shopping channel, and online at www.kimandscotts.com.

Several appearances on national television shows like the Food Network's Road Tasted with the Deen Brothers (sons of Paula Deen) and Roker on the Road with Al Roker have generated major interest and spikes in call volume, e-mails and online orders that Cbeyond's comprehensive voice and data services and mobile business applications handle without incident.

"Cbeyond's bundled offering of voice and data services also eliminates the need for us to manage multiple vendor relationships for our communications needs," Scott Holstein added. "As small business owners and parents, we need reliable mobile business applications that simplify our lives. We can count on Cbeyond for its reliability and applications like call forwarding and mobile e-mail, which give us extra flexibility in our business and personal lives."
