Wal-Mart Places First Order for Empowered Products' GunOil and PINK Lines of Personal Lubricants
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Empowered Products, Inc. (OTC: EMPO), an emerging leader in the high-growth sexual wellness sector through its trademark PINK® and GunOil® brands, proudly announces that it has received its first order from Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. This initial shipment to Wal-Mart includes both lines of water-based lubricants, GunOil® H2O and PINK® Water across 39 of Wal-Mart's U.S. distributions centers.
Scott Fraser, president and CEO of Empowered Products, commented, "This is another major milestone in our company's ascension into the national-chain sales venues. When we started selling our sexual wellness products, over a decade ago, our brand lines were only available in traditional adult shopping outlets. Now that worldwide retail power Wal-Mart has joined the other major retailers to offer our lines, like Walgreens and CVS, our move to the national consumer mainstream continues to advance."
