CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- KURE Corp., one of the fastest growing companies in the vape and e-cigarette industry in the United States, announces the completion of $4.7 million in capital financing from institutional and accredited investors. T.R. Winston & Company of Los Angeles, California acted as the placement agent, and Siskey Capital LLC., a Charlotte, North Carolina based merchant bank, advised on the Transaction.

David Peterson, CEO of KURE Corp. comments, "In early January of this year, I said that we would strive to be more than just a 'vape shop'. I also said that our primary mission statement was to bring the passionate art of vaping to the everyday consumer while continuing to support and preserve the traditional grassroots of its origin. All these comments have held true, and our team continues to work even harder to provide a better and more rewarding experience to our customers as they walk into one of our stores".

"Dave Peterson and his team have demonstrated within a very short period of time how they are able to successfully execute on their business plan with clear vision and focus. This is becoming an increasingly competitive market riddled with uncertainty in regulation and consumer opinion. However, KURE has gone above and beyond those challenges by continuously innovating its products and customer experience. In our opinion, KURE has cleared one of the most difficult market obstacles by bridging adoption by all types of consumers", said Martin Sumichrast, Vice Chairman of Siskey Capital.

The capital raised will be used primarily to expand KURE's retail store expansion in the United States. Currently, KURE has successfully opened KURE Vaporium stores in the Charlotte, North Carolina area and in Boca Raton, Florida. Three additional Charlotte area stores are currently in the build-out stages and are scheduled to open within the next three months. The Boca Raton store, which opened early May of this year, has its grand opening party set for June 13^th.

KURE has completely elevated the meaning of consumer experience in the vaping industry and effectively created a new category with its unique, up-scale Vaporium lounges. KURE Vaporium & Lounges feature "industrial-chic" decor, a welcoming and helpful staff of "Kurators" - all well-stocked with the most recognized brands in vaping products including KURE's own premium line of vapor hardware and e-Juices.
