Smoker Friendly Gets Friendlier

Three more retailers join authorized dealer program

BOULDER, Colo. -- Smoker Friendly International has added three chains of tobacco stores. LOLO, Warner Robbins, Ga.; Kerbs Oil (Stogies Smokeshops), Burley, Idaho; and Discount Cigarette Superstores, Pensacola, Fla., have all added their stores to the list of Smoker Friendly dealers across the country.

The new chains will be able to take advantage of the entire private-label line of products that Smoker Friendly has available. The new stores will now be selling the Smoker Friendly brand in their exclusive territory at competitive prices while enjoying [image-nocss] great profit margins and rebates on all private-label items, the company said.

No licensing or franchise fees are involved in the Smoker Friendly Authorized Dealer Program. The new stores can easily be identified with Smoker Friendly signage. The program creates synergy with operators from across the United States who can collaborate with peers in a unified program that will enhance their retail operation by belonging to what the company said is the only national retail tobacco brand, Smoker Friendly.

Bill Kloss of Discount Cigarette Superstores said, After being in business for 13 years, we now have a group of people who we can talk to about our problems and share information with. This will help improve our business and we are excited about the prospects.
