The new ApplianceSmart Factory Outlet will be located at 3551 Commercial Drive SW, which is a high-visibility rapidly growing retail corridor located at the intersection of Highway 52 and South Broadway. Neighboring national retailers include Fleet Farm and Dick's Sporting Goods. The new factory outlet will be ApplianceSmart's first Minnesota location beyond the Twin Cities metropolitan area and the nineteenth outlet nationally.
Like all ApplianceSmart Factory Outlets, this new location will carry a wide range of special-buy major household appliance brands, including Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Frigidaire, Jenn-Air, Amana, Bosch and KitchenAid. Special-buy appliances, which ApplianceSmart sells at a significant discount to retail, include new in-the-box closeouts, factory overruns, discontinued models and thousands of discounted out-of-box items.
Edward R. (Jack) Cameron, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are very excited to be opening our first ApplianceSmart Factory Outlet in Rochester to better serve our southern Minnesota customers. This latest location is part of our continued strategic plan to fill in key markets in Minnesota by finding the right retail locations at the right prices. Our new factory outlet in Rochester will be in a prime location with dense traffic patterns and wonderful visibility to commuters and shoppers."
Cameron continued: "Our plan is to continue to grow ApplianceSmart at a controlled pace by penetrating existing markets and extending our presence regionally. We recently announced plans to open an outlet in Marietta, Georgia, which will be the fifth store in the Atlanta market, and we just opened our third outlet in the San Antonio market. The addition of an ApplianceSmart outlet in Rochester will further our strategy by expanding our operations to cover a significantly greater portion of Minnesota."
About ARCA
ARCA is one of the nation's largest recyclers of major household appliances for the energy conservation programs of electric utilities. Through its ApplianceSmart operation, ARCA is also one of the nation's leading retailers of special-buy household appliances, primarily those manufactured by Maytag, GE, Frigidaire and Whirlpool. These special-buy appliances, which include close-outs, factory overruns and scratch-and-dent units, typically are not integrated into manufacturers' normal distribution channels. ApplianceSmart sells these virtually new appliances at a discount to full retail, offers a 100% money-back guarantee and provides warranties on parts and labor. As of September 2008, ApplianceSmart was operating seventeen factory outlets: six in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market; four in the Columbus, Ohio, market; four in the Atlanta market; and three in San Antonio, Texas. The Company previously announced that it will be opening its fifth retail outlet in the Atlanta market in November 2008. The signing of the lease for Rochester, Minnesota, will bring the total count of ApplianceSmart stores to nineteen.
