Cool Holdings Announces the Relocation of its Simply Mac Store in Rogers, Arkansas

MIAMI, Oct. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Cool Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: AWSM) (the "Company" or "Cool Holdings") announced the relocation and grand opening of its new Simply Mac retail store in Rogers, Arkansas.  This 2,025 square foot official Apple Premier Partner Store is located in the Tuscany Square Shopping Center at 2603 W. Pleasant Grove Road, Suite 103, Rogers, AR, and will offer the entire suite of Apple products, as well as third party accessories and Simply Mac's signature service and warranty repairs on all product categories by our trained team of Apple-certified technicians.  Simply Mac also offers customer financing and extended warranty coverage on all Apple products.

Commenting on the new Simply Mac store opening, Reinier Voigt, Chief Executive Officer of Cool Holdings, stated: "As part of our effort to re-evaluate all our store locations when coming to the end of a lease term, we have decided to relocate our store in Rogers, Arkansas.  Our new location is less than 3 miles from our old store, but is in a slightly smaller space that better fits our business model.  In addition, our total occupancy cost in the new space is 57% lower than the cost at our previous location, which will improve this store's profitability.  We believe that Rogers will continue to be a good market for us.  It is part of the Northwest Arkansas metropolitan region, that has been listed as one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country.  Rogers is the home of the very first Walmart store, whose world corporate headquarters is located in neighboring Bentonville.  Nearby colleges and universities include the University of Arkansas, Arkansas Community College, Harding University and John Brown University.  We're pleased to remain part of the Rogers landscape where our team of sales professionals and Apple–certified technicians will continue to serve the large number of college students, as well as the entire community of Rogers."

Commenting further, Mr. Voigt stated: "We continue to execute our strategic plan to expand the Simply Mac footprint in North America, taking care to adhere to our established site selection model that includes criteria for local population, median household income, preferable presence of a major university, distance from the nearest Apple store and minimum projected annual operating income.  In addition, all new locations must be approved in advance by Apple.  We remain committed to our mission to provide our customers with transformational experiences that drive long-term customer loyalty, and to improving our profitability to increase shareholder value."
