Scott Fraser, Empowered Products' president and CEO, added, "Since shipping our first major retail-chain order in February 2012, we have been expanding our pursuit of increasing shelf space in the over 21,000 retail outlets of the Big-3 U.S. drugstore chains. As part of our growth strategy, we believe our ongoing presence in retailer venues such as the NACDS (National Association of Chain Drug Stores) will continue to be a contributor to enhancing EMPO shareholder value going forward."

As consumer trends in the sexual wellness consumer products category continue to move toward mainstream U.S. retailers, Empowered Products is steadfastly ramping up its marketing efforts toward capturing shelf space, and boosting sales, with the large U.S. chains. As part of that marketing push, Empowered Products is currently presenting at the NACDS (National Association of Chain Drug Stores) Marketplace Convention in Denver, Colorado, at the Denver Convention Center from June 23 - 26. The NACDS offers access to key decision-makers from more than 230 retail companies, including Walmart, Rexall, and Duane Reade, representing over 145,000 retail outlets and over $500 billion in annual buying power from some of the world's largest and most recognized retail chains.
