News August 24, 09:17 Eastern Time The General Store Launches Cyber-Grocery Market REDMOND, Wash., Aug 24, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The General Store International Corp. (OTC BB: GSIC) launched its first interactive online grocery market today for service in the Vancouver area, at www.genstore.com. According to The General Store President and CEO Glen Easthope, the site, which went "live" today, allows consumers to complete their entire grocery shopping from the convenience of their home or office. "This is another major strategic and integral step in executing the Company's business growth plans," Easthope said. "Our goal for 1999 has been the expansion of area franchises across North America and advancements in the technology offered to our customers," Easthope said. "Our business is a marriage between the charm of old-fashioned customer service and the convenience of the internet and other technologies that expedite the time-consuming process of grocery shopping for those with busy lifestyles, seniors and the disabled population." Visitors to The General Store's new online site are also presented with a link to an outside firm that offers its customers free internet service. The General Store, which recently launched a Point-of-Sale Program that allows credit and ATM cards to be processed right at the customer's front door in a matter of seconds, plans to offer an interactive online site with the Point-of-Sale Program in US markets soon. "Vancouver, BC is the initial test market, with expansion into the State of Washington and Utah to follow quickly," Easthope said. "The official Grand Opening Launch date for online use is September 9, 1999." A pioneer in online shopping, The General Store International Corporation provides convenient competitively priced shopping solutions, "online vs. in-line." With its unique ordering and distribution system for grocery products, customers can shop from the comfort of their homes through the internet, a color print catalog, CD-ROM catalog, telephone, fax or an e-commerce site. All grocery products are delivered to the customer's front door. The General Store has also developed a proprietary technology CARAT(TM)DVD-TV/PC system, which is an evolution in online shopping for both the general population and for the 9 million blind and disabled consumers across North America.

The General Store International Franchise Sales "Above Expectations" REDMOND, Wash., Aug 25, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- In two short months, following the approval for The General Store International Corp. (GSIC: OTC BB) expansion into the State of Washington, the Company announced today that they have sold their FIRST TWENTY (20) FRANCHISES for the Seattle area. The Company received approval of its UFOC (Uniform Franchise Offering Circular) application to the State of Washington on June 10, 1999, and management has since been presenting the business opportunity to Seattle entrepreneurs with a highly positive response. "With twenty franchise documents signed in about 1 1/2 months, I can conservatively say that the reception in the Seattle market has met and even exceeded our expectations," said Glen Easthope, President and CEO of The General Store International. "Our goal is to complete 50 franchise sales in Seattle as soon as possible, and we are well on our way." A franchise with The General Store gives an individual a region (neighborhood of 500 homes) or multiple regions for the exclusive sale and service of home delivery groceries and products, utilizing The General Store (www.genstore.com) service and online proprietary shopping software. After responding to various advertisements, potential franchisees are invited to attend a company-sponsored presentation, after which they are encouraged to apply to become a new franchisee. Seattle is the first expansion of The General Store's original model. With completion and compliance of the UFOC in the States of Washington and Utah, The General Store is also eligible to offer franchises in most states, including: Arizona, Massachusetts, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Nevada, Tennessee, Vermont, Idaho, Wyoming and West Virginia.
