GSIC- I WAS SO BORED I BOUGHT THIS AGAIN.. (COMTEX) B: The General Store Announces the Launch of Cyber-Grocery M B: The General Store Announces the Launch of Cyber-Grocery Market REDMOND, Wash., Sep 8, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- A Unique E-Commerce Home Based Business Franchise Opportunity The General Store (OTC BB: GSIC) announced today that it is officially launching its online grocery shopping service in Vancouver, BC at www.genstore.com. Up and running since August 24th, the site offers customers the convenience of shopping for thousands of grocery items online and having them delivered, the next day, to their door, for just $4.95. The products offered are competitively priced with conventional grocery stores and include a broad selection of grocery, fresh produce and other perishables as well as drugstore products for next day delivery. CEO Glen Easthope said, "Vancouver, BC has been a great place for us to develop and expand our area franchise business model. The addition of our Cyber grocery market is a major strategic step in the company's development and expansion into the Seattle area, planned for later this year." Easthope added, "in less than three months the company has sold more than half of the 50 franchises needed to open in Seattle. A General Store franchise will give people an opportunity to be a part of the hi-tech revolution-taking place with an e-commerce home based business franchise." The franchise model will also allow for rapid growth and expansion across North America. The General Store's business is a marriage between the old-fashioned charm of customer service found at the general store 100 years ago and the "user friendly" convenience of today's hi-tech and internet based technologies as well as the company's own proprietary technology. The company's aim is to help expedite the time consuming process of grocery shopping for a broad range of people, from those with very busy lifestyles to seniors and the physically challenged. As an added feature, visitors to The General Store's new Cyber site are given a link to an outside Internet Service Provider that offers free Internet service to its customers. Security has long been an issue when doing transactions on the internet and The General Store has addressed this along with VanCity, Canada's largest Credit Union, when they recently launched a Point-of -Sale program that allows credit and ATM cards to be processed in a matter of seconds, right at the Customers front door. The company also plans to offer an interactive online site with the Point-of Sale program in the US soon. The General Store is a pioneer and one of the leading Internet supermarkets, providing customers with a wide range of products and services for local delivery. We believe our customers would rather shop online than wait in line. With its unique ordering and distribution system customers can shop from the convenience of their home or office, through the internet, a color print catalog, a CD-ROM catalog, telephone, fax or an e-Commerce site.
