NEWARK, N.J., Nov. 15,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- National Retail Solutions (NRS),
operator of one of the nation's fastest growing point-of-sale (POS)
networks for independent retailers, and Pitco Foods, the leading
wholesale distributor of groceries in Northern California, are partnering to provide
independent retailers including neighborhood stores, c-stores and
gas stations with powerful tools to operate more profitability and
better serve their customers.
Through the partnership, Pitco Foods will offer NRS' POS
terminals for sale in its four warehouse stores.
Pitco Foods is a cash and carry and delivery wholesale warehouse
chain serving over 12,000 neighborhood stores and other independent
retailers in Northern California. Pitco Foods' warehouses
carry over 9,000 products, offering both popular brands and ethnic
specialty products including groceries, beverages, refrigerated and
frozen foods, health and beauty aids, housewares, janitorial, auto
supply and dollar items. The company also offers its own
quality-driven PARADE brand.
"NRS and Pitco Foods share a common passion," said Peri Navab,
Chief Executive Officer of Pitco Foods. "We are both
committed to helping the independent retailers of Northern California compete more effectively
against big box stores and other large retail chains."
David Luttway, President of Pitco
Foods added, "We are pleased to offer the powerful new NRS POS
terminals to our retailers. The NRS network, in combination
with Pitco's low prices and next day delivery service, increases
our retailers' foot traffic and sales while helping them operate
more profitably and efficiently."
NRS' POS terminals help retailers to attract new customers and
increase sales with special offers, discounts and coupons on both
popular brands and ethnic specialty products. These promotions are
targeted to the retailers' existing customers and the over 400,000
members of NRS' popular BR Club rewards program in Pitco Foods'
service area. The POS terminals also provide merchants with
easy-to-use tools to control costs, optimize inventory, and process
transactions efficiently.
"We are delighted to work with Pitco Foods – a company that
shares our commitment to helping independent retailers," said
Elie Y. Katz, Chief Executive
Officer of NRS. "Retailers who purchase our POS terminals at their
local Pitco Foods warehouse will typically see a rapid return on
their investment by using the powerful sales, marketing and
operational tools we provide through our terminals."
"Consumer package goods (CPG) suppliers have long been
frustrated by the difficulty of reaching the highly fragmented
ethnic and urban market in Northern
California. NRS' POS network, in combination with our
BR Club rewards program, provides them with an effective channel to
reach these independent retailers and their customers," said
Eli Korn, VP of NRS.
NRS has over 4000 terminals deployed with independent retailers
around the country, and expects to double that total in the coming
year.
