Saffire Vapor Sets Double Opening in Knoxville on April 21, 2014

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., April 16, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Saffire Vapor, a leading Tennessee-based seller and distributor of electronic cigarettes, today announced an expansion into Knoxville with plans to open two new stores on Monday, April 21, 2014.

One store will be in West Knoxville at the Turkey Creek shopping area, the other in Northwest Knoxville on Clinton Highway.  The store addresses are:

TURKEY CREEK: 11519 Parkside Dr., Knoxville, TN 37934
CLINTON HIGHWAY: 6632 Clinton Highway, Ste #112, Knoxville, TN 37192, Phone (865) 512-9988

Regular store hours will be 9 am-9 pm Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 5 pm on Sundays.

Saffire Vapor is an online and retail seller and distributor of premium-quality 'high-powered' electronic cigarettes, eliquid, and accessories.  A company spokesman said the Knoxville stores will be their seventh and eighth retail outlets.  

Saffire Vapor opened its first store in December, 2012 in Murfreesboro. Since then the Tennessee chain has added stores in Cool Springs, Clarksville, Cookeville, Franklin, Hendersonville, Smyrna, and now Knoxville.   Saffire Vapor also has a substantial online business at www.saffirevapor.com.

CEO Robert Arnold, of Chapel Hill, TN, said he decided to open stores in Knoxville because of the city's high market opportunity.

"Knoxville is a great market with lots of e-cig enthusiasts already there," he said. "Obviously opening two stores on the same day shows our confidence in the local market plus our ability to serve it."

The electronic cigarette industry has recorded explosive growth since its introduction to U.S. consumers in 2007.  Electronic cigarette sales nearly doubled in 2013 and are expected to double again this year to $2.5 billion, according to Forbes business magazine.

Arnold said Saffire Vapor distinguishes itself from other e-cig retailers with high-quality products and in-store service and expertise.
"All of our retail associates are trained in how to use and maintain e-cigs and accessories," he said.  "Our staff is always prepared to demonstrate the technology to new customers and provide expert advice to returning customers."

Saffire Vapor prides itself on personalized attention for every customer, said Arnold. Whether familiar with the product or not, customers are provided with information before making a purchase decision, he said.

In addition to the new Knoxville outlets, Saffire Vapor has stores at:
512 S. Willow Ave., Cookeville, TN  38501
206 Indian Lake Blvd, Hendersonville, TN  37075
425 N. Thompson Lane, Murfreesboro, TN  37129
