Sportsquest, Inc. Proprietary Product Lines Garner Attention from Sporting Good Retailers Worldwide
THOMASVILLE, Ga. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Sportsquest, Inc.'s (Pink Sheets: SPQS) CEO Jeff Burns weighed in today
on recent Fielding Eyewear (www.fieldingeyewear.com)
announcements after visiting their South Georgia facility last week.
"I've been charged for some time about the long-term growth
possibilities that Fielding Eyewear has brought to the table. After
visiting their office and distribution facility last week and seeing
first hand some of the latest proprietary products they're
developing, I'm more excited than ever!"
Burns added that while the Mossy Oak affiliation will play
an integral part in the successful introduction of Fielding's
proprietary products into the major sporting goods chains, he was
equally excited about the decision to expand the OptiXtras line
to target mass-merchant chains and discount retailers worldwide. "When I
saw the eyewear and accessory floor-shipper they're designing for the
debut of the OPX line at the NACS show in 2012, I was reminded of the
staggering potential we have across multiple distribution
channels. Having a proprietary product line that is
attractive to the largest sporting goods retailers in the world is one
thing...add to that the introduction of a separate brand to multiple
thousands of convenience store and mass-merchant retailers and one can
see the remarkable growth potential this company possesses!"
Burns continued: "Just the top three c-store chains that we've garnered
interest with for the OPX brand represent over 16,000 individual U.S.
stores and that's just the tip of the ice-berg. Domestically and
internationally, there are well over 100,000 potential convenience store
prospects!" And speaking of international prospects, Burns interjected
this: "During my visit to Fielding's office last week, I was given a
'bird's eye' view of the potential prospects for their new Mossy Oak
eyewear line and was delighted to see interest from specific
international retailers and distributors in Germany, Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa, South America, and England. And this doesn't
include Fielding's recent Vendor Approval Status with AAFES who
distributes to all U.S. Military commissaries in the world. In a
down economy, it's nice to know that your prospect list literally spans
the globe!"
Burns also added that the decision has been made to keep the Fielding
and OPX operations under the same roof... for now. "The current Fielding
headquarters and distribution facility is situated perfectly to maximize
logistical and operational efficiencies during the initial growth stages
of the company and there's even room for some expansion. When the time
comes, expanding the warehousing and logistical capabilities will be a
welcome challenge for Fielding execs!"
