TMAX Pokemon and WWF products takeover the entire Canadian market. TMAX is extremely undervalued, has strong fundamentals, and is expected to move up sharply the end of this January with strong revenues and earnings expected when the company reports at the end of this January. Good Luck, Jake Blackmerlin (See Below:) "MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Go-Rachels.Com (OTC Bulletin Board: RACH) announced that its Canadian subsidiary, Triple-C, Inc., has been appointed the Canadian distributor for Pokemon and WWF licensed candy products. The appointment of Triple-C was made by Mr. Joe Lattanzi, Manager of Customer Development at Grand Inc. (Nasdaq: GRIN), which acquired Canadian rights to Pokemon and WWF candy products. Triple-C will sell to all convenience, grocery and independent drug stores throughout Canada. "Pokemon and WWF are two of the hottest licenses in retailing today. This is a great fit with our products and customers," said Harry Scholtens, Vice President of Sales for Triple-C. Candy products will begin shipping in February. Sales estimates were not available but are expected to be significant. The Pokemon phenomenon originated in Japan in 1996 and made its way over to the U.S. In 1998, with the Nintendo Pokemon Game Boy pak, Pokemon products have generated more than $5 billion in sales worldwide. Grand Inc. distributes Pokemon gum and candy through a licensing agreement with Nintendo of America, Inc. and 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: KIDE). The products are manufactured by Candy Planet Co., via the licenses obtained by its parent company ToyMax International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TMAX). Triple-C is a 40-year-old marketer and distributor of confectionery products throughout Canada. It has developed proprietary products such as Sour Simon, Sour Soothers and Gummy Guy, which are dominant products in their categories.
