PF
Hospitality Group Acquires National Athletic Brand, EXO,
As
Anchor to Company's Retail Health & Wellness Division
BOCA
RATON, FL (December 22, 2015) - PF Hospitality Group, Inc. (OTC PINK: PFHS) ("PF Hospitality Group" or the "Company"),
a management firm which develops and operates innovative and healthy brands within the restaurant, hospitality and retail health
& wellness industries, announced today that the Company has acquired Wyoming-based EXO:EXO, Inc. ("EXO"), a designer
and producer of active wear brands offered in national fitness retailers in the U.S.
"We
couldn't be more pleased to have EXO added to our company's brand portfolio, as a pivotal entity within our retail
group", said Vaughan Dugan, Chairman and CEO of PF Hospitality Group. "As we move towards diversification in our recently
established retail health & wellness division, having EXO on board as an expanding brand will help bolster our capabilities
within the health and fitness space".
A
brand founded on designing fashionable, functional, affordable products for athletes, while staying ahead of the trend, EXO (
www.exosleeve.com
)
has experienced healthy growth among the functional fitness retail community. Led by Sloane McComb, a veteran of the retail nutrition
industry and an athlete herself, EXO plans on bringing an enhanced assortment of products and services to the consumer fitness
community.
Through
the Company's brand portfolio, EXO will have an opportunity to partner with other brand product lines that have - similar
to EXO - experienced significant growth primarily due to the new wave of inventions, heightened technological innovations, and
increased demand for wellness products targeting the functional fitness market.
EXO
seeks to position itself as a top consumer brand of choice within the functional fitness market riding the wave of a worldwide
fitness industry growth phenomena. One example of this growth is CrossFit, a now multi-million dollar brand with revenue reaching
$100MM, according to Forbes Magazine article: (
http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2015/02/25/how-crossfit-became-a-4-billion-brand/
),
which boasts more than 11,000 fitness facilities as of February, 2015. The global fitness and health club industry focused on
the millennial-age customers generates more than $77.5 billion in revenue according to the 2014 International Health, Racquet
& Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) Global Report. Taking a nod from the revenue growth within this market, and having a strong
understanding of this shared customer group from years of experience within the restaurant and hospitality space, PF Hospitality
Group is developing and identifying for acquisition brands within its portfolio for an eventual franchise proposition. The Company
believes this strategy offers greater potential for company and shareholder value. Following this acquisition, PF Hospitality
Group plans to expand its retail health and wellness division through strategic, complimentary acquisitions within the same space.
"We're
excited to collaborate with partners who share EXO's passion for fitness and health", said Sloane McComb, CEO of EXO.
"We are looking forward to continued growth of our brand and expanded assortment for our customers, with our new ability
to lean on the leadership and experience of PF Hospitality Group. We've already begun evaluating potential new avenues for
revenue and are very excited to see what we will accomplish within the next year".
McComb
will continue to lead the direction of EXO in servicing and expanding its business and will be responsible for evaluating potential
new product lines to add to EXO's retail assortment. In addition, Ms. McComb will assist in targeting other unique, growing
brands within the retail health and wellness industries and the formulation of partnerships or strategic promotions.
