LAS VEGAS, Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Live Ventures Incorporated (Nasdaq: LIVE) (“Live,” “Live Ventures,” or the “Company”) announced today that its subsidiary, Vintage Stock Inc. (“Vintage Stock”), is opening four new stores under Vintage Stock’s EntertainMart brand in the following locations: Longview and Abilene, Texas; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Idaho Falls, Idaho (opening December 10, 2021). The new store locations are all located in regional malls that have larger-than-normal regional consumer appeal. Vintage Stock has continued to grow over the years thanks to its business model, its extensive and diversified product offerings, and its loyal customer base. Vintage Stock anticipates opening five to 10 new stores in calendar year 2022 as it continues to grow.
“In a time when many retail companies are shutting down brick-and-mortar stores, or lessening their physical presence in communities, we are excited to be able to increase our footprint,” said Rodney Spriggs, Vintage Stock’s CEO. “We believe these mall locations are ideally situated for movie, music, toy, and video game enthusiasts of all ages—and sales so far are proving that; we look forward to potentially expanding into other similarly-situated mall locations around the United States in 2022.”
Though this expansion is occurring during the pandemic, Vintage Stock continues to apply all of its COVID-related safety measures, which in turn allow customers to come into its stores to purchase the varied products it sells. Vintage Stock also continues to serve its customers online at www.vintagestock.com.
