Product Assembly and Fulfillment Company, ASC to take on new retail service branches
American Shipping Centers has announced plans of opening retail shipping locations starting in 2007. "These are exciting times for our company," says company President, Jeffrey D. Lever, "but, everyone here at ASC thinks the best is yet to come!" Spurred by the company's growth in a multitude of service sectors to vendors, producers, and retailers, the outlook of the company does look promising. "We plan on adding over 120,000 square feet to our storage facilities within the next 3 years, with a 20,000 square foot facility coming online as soon as possible. Couple that with our plans of opening retail shipping locations this coming year (also in 2007), and you've got a great combination of services, efficiencies, synergies, and cost advantages no other company is currently offering its clients."
"The American Shipping Centers retail locations will be competing with companies such as the USPS branch offices and the UPS store. The services we plan to offer at each branch location will be very similar, but we plan on offering substantial discounts for shipping costs and shipping materials to bring in additional customers. Volume will be the key to the success of our retail branch, and once people begin comparing our prices, I don't think that will be much of a problem. " Said Mr. Lever, "We plan on leveraging our relationship with our shipping partners and shipping supply companies to offer extremely competitive rates on packaging and shipping costs. You look at what a company like Walmart has done over the past few decades, and you can tell Sam Walton (founder of Walmart) was right on the money! He simply took the best price and coupled it with the best value and good service and built a great company around it. We plan to follow Walton's business model with our retail sector of American Shipping Centers."
