PMOR news attached... Phar-Mor & Vitamin World Alliance to Launch Vitamin Brand on the 'Cyber Phar-Mor Online Store' PR Newswire - January 21, 1999 15:36 First Phase of Phar-Mor's Internet Drugstore YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Phar-Mor (Nasdaq: PMOR) announced today that it is bringing its years of discount retailing experience to the Worldwide Web by aligning with NBTY's Vitamin World to offer online sales of vitamins. Currently under construction at www.pharmor.com, the Company's online venture "Cyber Phar-Mor" is scheduled for opening in late February, 1999. Similar to its retail stores, Phar-Mor will focus on its "store within a store concept" and open the e-commerce business with a Cyber Phar-Mor Vitamin Store. The online Phar-Mor Vitamin Store ("PVS") will offer a large mix of vitamins, minerals and herbs at the same discounted prices customers have come to expect in a Phar-Mor retail store. PVS will feature a proprietary line of vitamins and supplements labeled "Vitamin World". The Vitamin World brand is found exclusively in Phar-Mor and NBTY's Vitamin World stores. This alliance of two prominent retailers in the vitamin supplement industry is designed to catapult the launch of Phar-Mor's online drugstore. Dave Schwartz, the Company's President and COO, remarked "Phar-Mor is known as the leading retailer of vitamin supplements in the United States, on a sales per store basis. This success includes the integration of the Vitamin World Store within its 106 retail stores. Currently, Phar-Mor is realizing sales growth far beyond its expectations in Vitamin World sales alone. These results, along with Phar-Mor's desire to introduce this product to more customers, makes PVS a logical extension of this business." For over 25 years, NBTY, Inc., has been a leading vertically integrated manufacturer and retailer of a broad line of high quality, value priced, nutritional supplements located in 250 Vitamin World outlet mall stores throughout the United States. Extending the Vitamin World brand to the online consumer at an everyday low price will truly make PVS unique to its competitors. Customers may also receive product information by asking the online Phar-Mor Vitamin Specialist. Phar-Mor is dedicated to offering more than just supplemental products to the online customer. The online customer will receive added service and direct assistance with vitamin, mineral or herbal purchases by receiving health and nutritional information through the Phar-Mor Vitamin Specialist. Plans to offer additional health and beauty care items to the online store are being developed. Phar-Mor is a retail drug store chain with 106 stores in 19 states and traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "PMOR." Visit Phar-Mor at www.pharmor.com.
