Simply, Inc. (OTCQB: AWSMD) announced the grand opening of its new Simply Mac retail store in Asheville, North Carolina. This 1,606 square foot official Apple Premier Partner Store is located in Biltmore Park Town Square, One Town Square Blvd., Suite 130, Asheville, NC, and will offer the entire suite of Apple products, as well as third party accessories and Simply Mac's signature service and warranty repairs on all product categories by our trained team of Apple-certified technicians.

Commenting on the new Simply Mac store opening, Reinier Voigt, Chief Executive Officer of Simply, Inc., stated: "We are excited about the opening of this new store in Asheville, our first in North Carolina. Asheville is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, where it is the largest city. It is also home to the Biltmore Estate, the largest privately-owned house in the U.S. built by the Vanderbilt Family in the style of a French chateaux with 178,926 square feet, that is now a National Historic Landmark and attracts 1.4 million visitors each year. There are also four colleges nearby with 41,500 students including Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, Western Carolina University, UNC Asheville and Mars Hill University. Our team of sales professionals and Apple-certified technicians will be able to serve students at these universities, as well as residents in the four-county Asheville metropolitan area."
Commenting further, Mr. Voigt stated: "We have more new stores in development now that we will announce in the near future as we continue to execute our strategic plan to expand the Simply Mac footprint in North America. We are being careful to adhere to our established site selection model that includes criteria for local population, median household income, preferable presence of a major university, distance from the nearest Apple store and minimum projected annual operating income. In addition, all new locations must be approved in advance by Apple. We remain committed to our mission to provide our customers with transformational experiences that drive long-term customer loyalty, and to improving our profitability to increase shareholder value."
