PRESS RELEASE – MAGSTAR TOTAL RETAILMAGSTAR TOTAL RETAIL ANNOUNCES THAT BIG BOX STORES AREN’T THE ONLY ONES TO STILL HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN DO LAYAWAYSDecember 11, 2008 – TORONTOMagstar Inc., the developer of Magstar Total Retail, a fully-integrated enterprise-wide solution for the tier-2, tier-3 and SMB marketplace in North America, announced that they are amused by the posturing of two of North America’s retailers regarding their statements that they have the technical capability to do layaways while most other retailers don’t. Magstar Total Retail’s clients have had and still use the Magstar Total Retail layaway feature. Steven Greenwood, Magstar’s Vice President, said, “I found it surprising when I saw first Kmart’s and then Sears’ TV ad campaigns about their layaway programs. And it’s interesting that even Oprah.com and David Bach’s website now feature articles or blogs on layaways. I think this is a sign of our current economic times.” Greenwood noted, “Our long-time client, Freeds of Windsor - the largest fashion retailer of brands such as Hugo Boss, Canali, Coppley, Jack Victor and Tommy Bahama, among many others, in the Detroit/Windsor corridor - has offered their customers layaways for years. For us and many of our clients, layaways have been part of our overall approach to optimizing our clients’ customer service management features. It’s just good business to give your customers what they want, when and where and how they want it. It’s part of our commitment to developing our technology so that we meet all our customers’ and their customers’ needs.” Magstar Total Retail is a comprehensive, highly robust and yet extremely flexible and – relative to big ERP vendors - affordable retail solution that offers their clients the features and visibility they need so they can compete successfully with larger big box stores.
