Winning Brands Expands Convenience Store Operations Dramatically
Indianapolis and Cleveland Tests Lead to Larger 25 State Program
New York, N.Y. (March 15, 2010) -

Winning Brands Corporation www.WinningBrands.com, manufacturer of cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover, is ramping up distribution of Winning Colours to convenience stores dramatically in order to reach 20,000 of America’s c-stores by means of a Direct Store Delivery System (DSD) and new affiliation with specialized c-store wholesalers.

Winning Brands Director of Product Training, Lorne Kelly, commences training of the company’s newly appointed c-store co-ordinator, Jay Udell, March 21st, to prepare for the first Winning Colours DSD Driver Workshop to be held in April. Mr. Udell is based in New York City and is known in the field for having developed a thriving DSD program for products accepted into his system – not all products are. 500 drivers are expected to take part in the initial workshop to learn of the unique product and business benefits of Winning Colours Stain Remover for the c-stores that the drivers service. These drivers already call on c-stores with existing trusted brands such as Gillette, Wrigley, Welch’s, WD-40, Sun Maid, etc. The Winning Colours program is considered capable of growing to 4,000 participating drivers as the roll-out gains momentum over time under Mr. Udell’s supervision.

With many years of experience in “alternative” distribution, Jay Udell, prides himself in managing product introduction and deliveries outside of the typical chain store environment. “”I love pioneering” says Mr. Udell; “An interesting and emerging product like Winning Colours would be wise to keep driving business through the independent stores in America - chain stores will have their own timing. I have been in business for 40 years and know and work with the appropriate wholesalers too. We will get the job done of consolidating small orders from thousands of c-stores into efficient, continuous deliveries and replenishment. In fact, I am now managing the largest DSD distributorship in the USA and Winning Colours is a perfect fit. We will also deploy a team of specialized sales reps who focus on c-store distributor accounts to gain the c-store chains that order through these distributors, initially within the East Coast. Those c-stores are in addition to ones being handled through the Winning Colours Direct Store Delivery program. I’m excited and ready to go!”
