FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Prime Time Group Inc., which operates convenience stores in Puerto Rico, is branching out into other retail channels and has completed its phase-II rollout of its Kiosk-In-A-Box concept in four new locations in western Canada. Prime Time Group also said it has completed its transition to the new management in a merger with Robinson Wireless Holdings.
We have entered into some very lucrative markets, in some of the highest per-square-foot revenue producing malls in the country, said Troy Metz, the newly appointed president, concerning [image-nocss] the kiosk concept.
Robinson Wireless, now Prime Time Group, with its carrier Virgin Mobile, has entered into the four new locations of Polo Park (Winnipeg, Manitoba) Market Mall and Marlborough Mall (Calgary, Alberta) and Londonderry Mall (Edmonton, Alberta).
Robinson Wireless focuses on wireless products and services for the youth market. By using retail, wholesale and online delivery channels, the company has found ways to deliver phones, accessories, mobile media and mobile games, establishing relationships with carriers such as Virgin Mobile, Fido, Sprint, as well as its own line of products such as Cherry Red Accessories and a content and e-commerce division that is online and will be announced shortly.
Incoming CEO and chairman Dallas Robinson also announced the new president and COO, Troy Metz. Metz has been a senior consultant for the past 12 years helping to start or grow public and private companies in Canada and the United States. Prior to joining Robinson Wireless as a partner, Troy owned and operated an executive management consulting company that focused on corporate startup, growth and training.
Robinson Wireless/Prime Time Group Inc., is currently investigating growth opportunities in Australia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic as well as the developing markets in Asia.
Prime Time is maintaining its interest in PR7 Inc., which operates 14 7-Eleven convenience stores in San Juan, P.R. Armando Del Valle was appointed president of the company in late June 2006 and was chartered to maximize profitability and position the company for expansion. The profitability goals are about to be reached in December 2006, the company said, and it has identified three locations for expansion in early 2007. By the end of 2007 the company hopes to conclude the first phase of expansion and intends to have in excess of 25 stores.Members help make our journalism possible.
