Simplicity Esports and Gaming Company Announces New E-Commerce Platform for the Sale of Esports and Gaming Merchandise
June 08 2021 - 9:50AM
Simplicity Esports and Gaming Company (OTCQB:WINR) (“Simplicity
Esports”), announced today that it will go live with an e-commerce
site in the month of July to sell esports and gaming related
merchandise. The site will launch with an inventory of trading card
games (“TCG”) such as Magic: The Gathering, Pokémom, and Yu-Gi-Oh!,
and expand into gaming accessories and equipment.
Roman Franklin, CEO of Simplicity Esports,
stated, “We have the largest footprint of esports gaming centers in
the U.S., but we have yet to reach 37 states. Our e-commerce
platform will allow us to compliment that footprint by servicing
the rest of the country with the potential to expand globally. I
believe our e-commerce platform will also drive increased traffic
into our physical gaming center locations with free shipping if the
customer picks up their purchase inside a Simplicity Esports or
PLAYlive Nation esports gaming center. TCG cards have been in such
high demand that it is difficult for customers to find them on the
shelves of their local retail stores. In May, Target announced it
would be suspending the sale of TCG products inside its retail
stores because of conflicts with customers over the limited
availability of the products. We have access to TCG products and
can meet immediate demand.”
Simplicity Esports recently announced record
revenue for the months of March and April, and plans to file its
audited fiscal year end report, 10-K in the next 90 days.
Additionally, Simplicity Esports intends to list
its common stock and warrants on The NASDAQ Capital Market or the
NYSE American. There is no guarantee that the listing application
will be approved by The Nasdaq Capital Market or the NYSE
American.
