After our merger with Cooltech Holdings Corp. on March 12, 2018, we are now working to optimize inventory levels at our existing stores to increase sales and profitability. We currently operate 3 stores in Miami, Florida, with a 4th store under construction in Orlando and plans for expansion into other Florida markets. In Argentina we currently operate 6 stores, including our newest store opened in Buenos Aires, with plans to open 7 new stores across Argentina in the next year."
Commenting further, Diaz added: "Apple® has announced a focus on expansion in Latin America, and we are working with Apple® to be an integral part of that expansion. In addition, upon Apple®'s approval, we hope to expand into other U.S. markets, as well as into Canada in the next year. We are working now to deleverage our balance sheet to position ourselves for growth both organically and through acquisition, with a focus on our longer-term goal to become the largest authorized reseller of Apple® products and services in the Americas."
