VPCO...“This merger brings together a number of operating strengths that we expect to leverage to drive growth, including a national distribution network, expanded retail operations and management teams with a proven record of success,” stated Jeffrey Holman, Chief Executive Officer of Vapor Corp, who will lead the new company.

"The opening of these four new stores under 'The Vape Store' brand is just the beginning of our expansion strategy to establish a national retail footprint, making us one of the largest operators in the rapidly developing vape shop retail market. We are poised to open another 20 to 30 of our branded retail Vape Stores before the end of fiscal 2015," said Jeff Holman, Chief Executive Officer of Vapor Corp. "The vape shop retail market is highly fragmented, providing our 'The Vape Store' brand with an opportunity to serve customers as the retailer that they can trust with the convenience of multiple locations to buy their favorite brands of vaporizers, e-liquids and accessories."

The newly opened stores in Orlando and Port Charlotte are expected to contribute to sustainable, profitable growth for the Company, as evidenced by the encouraging operating margins of Vapor Corp.'s existing "The Vape Store" chain locations. As the Company continues to expand its retail presence, Vapor Corp. is well-positioned to further penetrate the growing $3.5 billion vaporizer market.
