World Franchise Hits 1,000th Store Mark with Newest Location in Atlanta,
GA
Cartridge
World, the world’s fastest growing ink refilling retailer
in the $55 billion printer cartridge industry, announces the grand
opening of its 1,000th world-wide retail location in Atlanta, GA on
October 26, 2005. With projections of more than 300 new openings a
year in the United States alone, the 1000th store is one of the many
milestones the printer cartridge refilling retailer is pursuing.
“Reaching
the 1,000-store mark is a significant achievement for our company
and for our franchise owners in terms of how it illustrates the strength
and sustenance of the Cartridge World concept,” said Bryan Stokes,
Director and Co-Founder of Cartridge World. “As consumers and
businesses are educated on the cost-effectiveness and environmentally
friendly benefits to printer cartridge refilling, Cartridge World
will continue to be at the forefront of this industry.”
The
500th United States location is expected to open in spring 2006. Eventually,
there will be thousands of Cartridge World stores in the United States,
putting Cartridge World on a fast track to becoming a neighborhood
brand. “Many of our franchise owners are committed to the company’s
growth and are opening additional locations in a very short time period,”
added Burt Yarkin, CEO of Cartridge World North America.
Cartridge
World, which opened its first franchise location in Adelaide, Australia
in 1997, is the first retail cartridge refilling concept to take on
manufacturing giants such as HP, Lexmark and Canon while offering
cost-saving solutions for consumers and businesses on the traditionally
inflated costs of printer cartridges.
The
company provides consumers and small to mid-sized businesses with
a retail cartridge refilling service that allows customers to refill
their ink and toner printer cartridges with as much ease as they refill
the gas tanks of their cars. More importantly, customers receive up
to a 50 percent savings, a money-back service guarantee on all refilled
cartridges and are helping the environment at the same time. Cartridge
World estimates that it will keep 9
million cartridges out of landfills this year.
