Repost..(older but significant)..America's Leading Paint Sundries Distributor Chooses Winning Brands
Lancaster to Carry Winning Colours Stain Remover in 7 Regional Warehouses Serving 10,000+ Paint Stores

(August 12, 2009) Barrie, Ontario, Canada - Winning Brands Corporation www.WinningBrands.ca (Pink Sheets: WNBD) (Frankfurt: WMU.F), manufacturer of eco-responsible cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover is being listed by leading paint sundries distributor, Lancaster, www.LancasterCo.com servicing an active account base of more than 10,000 independent paint stores, regional paint store chains, national paint store chains, hardware stores and lumber yards. Lancaster will be taking delivery of Winning Colours Stain Remover inventory into all 7 warehouses immediately in order for Winning Brands to train Lancaster personnel at Lancaster’s September 9-10th National Sales Conference in South Carolina.

The development is significant for both companies, and consumers. For Winning Brands, the listing provides the company’s largest ever account reach for Winning Colours Stain Remover. “In practical terms, this development is as significant as a product listing with any single U.S. retailer because of the deep penetration that it provides through knowledgeable and motivated colleagues across a huge account base” says Eric Lehner, CEO of Winning Brands. The recently introduced $100,000 Winning Colours Stain Remover Sweepstakes will be promoted to stores through Lancaster as well.

“We will consider Lancaster the principal service partner for paint stores in the U.S. that are primarily or exclusively paint focused.” says Lorne Kelly, Winning Brands Senior VP, adding “Lancaster has watched Winning Colours carefully to see what the product can do. They have also heard from stores who want it. It’s clear now that Winning Colours Stain Remover is great fit and Lancaster wants its retail account base to have access to this new product. Together, we can make Winning Colours Stain Remover the talk of the industry.” The move keeps Lancaster at the forefront of servicing paint retailers with new products that help them succeed. The Lancaster relationship will be managed for Winning Brands by Key Account Manager, C.E. Norman of North Carolina.

Mr. Lehner points out that the business relationship with Lancaster helps close the gap for Winning Brands between independent retailers and chains; “Lancaster recently announced the creation of an expanded National Accounts Team that will be dedicated to building current business and finding new business with retail chains across all market channels. It is clear from recent developments at Winning Brands that we are finding ways to boost our exposure to national retailers. This is a big step in the right direction. Winning Colours Stain Remover now has the foundation for a banner year in 2010. Our distribution arrangements are now very good.” Mr. Lehner remarked.
