The Prettie Girls to Be Sold in H-E-B Stores; One World Doll
Project Becomes Approved Vendor to Texas' Largest Privately Held
Hypermarket
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 14, 2014) - One World Holdings,
Inc. (OTCQB: OWOO) ("One World") announced today that its
subsidiary, The One World Doll Project, has become an approved
vendor to major regional hypermarket store chain, HEB Grocery
Company, LP ("H-E-B"), where H-E-B will now begin carrying The
Prettie Girls!™ multi-cultural dolls.
"This is just the beginning," stated Joanne Melton, CEO of One
World Holdings. "A number of very lucrative opportunities have
opened up for us with several big-box stores. However, as a Texas
based company, H-E-B is one of the most exciting ways to begin our
transcendence from concept to substantially scaling-up revenues for
2014."
Working with H-E-B, a regional hypermarket superstore, operating
five brands and over 350 stores throughout Texas and northern
Mexico, will provide One World with a strong foundation to launch
its subsidiary's brand into various megastores across the country.
While management continues ongoing talks with other big-box chains
-- which executives anticipate closing on another distribution
arrangement within the 2nd Quarter -- the relationship with H-E-B
affords One World greater flexibility and faster growth
opportunity.
Ms. Melton concluded, "With the support of our founders, Trent
T. Daniel and Stacy McBride-Irby, One World was able to establish a
relationship with Texas' largest privately held company, in a
format generally reserved for proven vendors. This truly gives One
World a starting advantage as we have an immediate merchandizing
venue for any of The One World Doll ancillary products. We are
extremely happy to be in such an advantageous position and
certainly pleased to have this incredible vendor opportunity. I am
thankful to H-E-B for supporting One World, The One World Doll
Project and The Prettie Girls!™."
