PUDO Signs New Agreement with Quickie Convenience Stores

Just in time for holiday shopping, Canada's first pick-up and drop-off service expands reach into Eastern Ontario and Quebec

TORONTO, Dec. 8, 2015 /CNW/ - PUDO Inc. ("PUDO") (CSE: PDO; OTCQB: PDPTF), today announced a new three-year partnership with Quickie Convenience Stores Corp. to create additional PUDO Point™ locations across Eastern Ontario and Quebec.

Launched across North America in September, PUDO continues to expand its rapidly growing PUDO Point™ network, allowing more customers to tailor pick-ups and drop-offs of their online purchases to fit their busy holiday schedules. PUDO members simply shop online through PUDO's affiliate portal, and they can use a PUDO Point™ address for their "not-at-home" deliveries. This means Canadians can access deliveries at their Quickie store or any other dealer location later in the evening and on weekends.

"This new partnership with Quickie provides Canadians with more options for delivery when they want and where they want," said Frank Coccia, Chief Executive Officer, PUDO Inc. "The holidays are quickly approaching and, using PUDO, customers can be sure they don't miss that special parcel delivery."

"We know our customers are busy people with schedules that make traditional shipping options inconvenient," said Chris Wilcox, Vice-President & General Manager, Quickie Convenience Stores Corp. "Quickie stores are open later, some even overnight, so becoming a PUDO Point™ gives our customers more flexibility to pick up their parcels on their own time."

PUDO currently has more than 5,000 PUDO Point™ dealers signed up across North America, and a network that continues to grow each day with dealers becoming operational.  For these dealers, PUDO provides opportunities for additional foot traffic and the potential for repeat customer business. As the last mile delivery solution for e-commerce purchases, PUDO has created affiliate agreements with some of North America's most well-known retailers, including Amazon, eBay, Hudson's Bay and Walmart to ensure customers never miss a home delivery again.
