Sunpeaks Ventures Announces Agreement with Asian American Convenience Store Association Partners to Sell Clotamin in 1,200 Stores
SILVER SPRING, Md., April 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunpeaks Ventures, Inc. (OTCBB: SNPK) (PINKSHEETS: SNPK) (the "Company" or "Sunpeaks Ventures") and its wholly owned subsidiary Healthcare Distribution Specialists, LLC ("HDS") are pleased to announce that HDS has signed a marketing and distribution agreement with Asian American Convenience Store Association Partners and Skyrock ("AACSA Partners/Skyrock") to distribute and sell Clotamin in 1,200 AACSA member locations, including convenience stores, pharmacies, and small grocers. If successful, the parties anticipate expanding the initial program nationwide up to 10,000 additional locations. This Agreement will continue in effect for three (3) years.
"This is a milestone agreement for the Company and a huge leap forward for widespread Clotamin availability. Our agreement with AACSA/Skyrock can quickly place Clotamin in potentially thousands of hard-to-reach locations across the country," stated Mackie A. Barch, CEO of Sunpeaks Ventures. "In addition to the distribution, AACSA will market Clotamin to its members and its sister group of Asian American and Indian physicians. Reaching this highly fragmented, yet extremely influential group is near impossible without the help of a strong industry partner. By leveraging AACSA/Skyrock's established relationships with its member stores, we should be able to rapidly penetrate this market on a large scale."
The Asian American Convenience Stores Association ("AACSA") is an industry trade association representing thousands of stores nationwide. AACSA has been an advocate for the convenience retailing industry providing industry information, knowledge and connections to ensure the competitive viability of member businesses. AACSA has approximately 50,000 affiliate members. The convenience retail sector has undergone significant growth over the past three decades; ten years ago, the official industry store count stood at 100,800; 20 years ago there were 76,200 stores; and 30 years ago there were only 24,300. Today, the U.S. convenience store industry is comprised of nearly 145,000 stores which posted $511 billion in total sales in 2009.
