Collectible Concepts Awarded Approved Vendor Status From Keystone Pharmacy Alliance
Thursday February 13, 8:31 am ET
DOYLESTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2003--Collectible Concepts Group, Inc. (OTC: CCGI - News), a leading provider of sports and pop-culture collectibles, announced today that it has been awarded status as an approved vendor for the Keystone Pharmacy Purchasing Alliance, Inc. a Pennsylvania based buying syndicate with a membership of 325 independent pharmacies operating in Pennsylvania.
By combining the purchasing power of the consolidated membership under the Keystone Alliance, independent drug stores are now able to compete with the larger chains more effectively. The Alliance gives its members entree to a range of products that they might not otherwise have access to. In addition to new products, the Alliance gives the independent pharmacy owner the opportunity to purchase at lower prices than they would be able to obtain on their own.
"This is an exciting opportunity for us" said Paul Lipschutz, CCGI president. "Through this single point of contact, we are now presenting our products to over 300 retail pharmacy locations in Pennsylvania. Our line of silk posters featuring pop-culture and comic book characters, is displayed in stand-alone point of purchase displays and the accompanying line of collectible character pins is sold from counter top racks, both of which are particularly well suited for this type of retail environment" said Lipschutz.
Following its success with the Keystone Pharmacy Purchasing Alliance, the company plans to pursue the more than 12,000 independent pharmacies nationwide that are represented by 23 separate buying consortiums.
