Vapor Corp. Continues Expansion with Additional Retail Vape Store Acquisition

DANIA BEACH, Fla., Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Vapor Corp. (NASDAQ CM: VPCO, VPCOU) (the “Company”), a leading U.S.-based distributor and retailer of vaporizers, e-liquids, e-cigarettes and e-hookahs, announced today the successful completion of its acquisition of an established retail vape store, which is the third vape store acquired following the Company’s recent public offering. Located in Fort Myers, Fla., this represents the 15th “The Vape Store” location. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The acquisition of the 15th store, coupled with the Company’s recently announced acquisition of two additional retail vape stores in Gainesville, Fla., are centerpieces in Vapor Corp.’s aggressive retail expansion strategy. As a leading vaporizer / e-cigarette company – and currently the only pure-play company in the $3.5 billion vaping industry that’s listed on a major stock exchange – Vapor Corp. plans to increase the number of Company-owned retail stores to between 30 and 40 locations through the end of 2015.

“Just one month after completing a $41.4 million capital raise, Vapor Corp. has begun to successfully execute against its acquisition program, further establishing itself in the growing Florida vape market. We are excited to add the Vapor Corp. banner to this new location and capitalize on the store’s profitability and loyal customer base. These acquisitions are just the beginning, as we plan to open and acquire additional stores in surrounding areas, further strengthening the Vapor Corp. brand and accommodating the needs of local vaping communities,” said Jeff Holman, Vapor Corp.’s CEO.

Mr. Holman continued, “Our national acquisition program reflects Vapor Corp.’s ambition to become a major force in the retail vaping industry. With a robust and growing pipeline of precise acquisition targets throughout the United States, our strategy is to build a brand that will become the go-to resource for consistency and quality products. Our stores serve as a social meeting place where both novice and experienced customers can learn about the latest in vaping, as well as sample and purchase their favorite products.”
