GPOX accelerates Las Vegas presence with sales team deployment and facility enhancements.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA / ACCESS Newswire / April 24, 2025 / GPO Plus, Inc. (OTCQB:GPOX), an AI-powered Distributor revolutionizing distribution to gas stations and convenience stores with its innovative technology-driven Direct Store Delivery (DSD) model, proudly announces the opening of its new Regional Hub and Distribution Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Las Vegas Regional Hub supports an agile, AI-driven approach to distribution, enhancing speed, flexibility, and margin performance in underserved retail segments. Its first milestone is onboarding 200 retail locations, generating an average of $1,000 per month in sales per store. This goal is achievable by selling just a few high-demand products per store.

DISTRO+Cash+Carry

To further capitalize on this opportunity, GPOX plans to launch its DISTRO+Cash+Carry, a reimagined, immersive wholesale experience for retailers, from its Las Vegas facility within 90 days. This retail-focused wholesale center enables store owners to browse, purchase, and pick up wholesale goods on-site, expanding reach beyond GPOX's DSD serviced stores. GPOX previously announced its Cash and Carry business model and has continued to execute on the plan.

New Sales Channels, Larger TAM

GPOX is expanding its sales strategy to target high-margin, independent retailers, complementing its existing relationships with large national gas station chains. This strategic shift is designed to unlock greater flexibility, higher margins, and faster market penetration. The Las Vegas region presents a Total Addressable Market (TAM) of over 2,100 potential retail accounts:

• Convenience Stores: 1,300+

• Smoke and Vape Shops: 500+

• Independent Gas Stations: 250+

• Small Grocers/Bodegas: 250+

• Liquor Stores: 150+

• Specialty Retailers: 100+

As a local company headquartered in Las Vegas, GPOX is uniquely positioned to activate these relationships and scale more efficiently than competitors without local infrastructure.

"Launching a Regional Hub in Las Vegas is something I've personally been looking forward to for a long time," said Brett H. Pojunis, CEO of GPOX. "But before scaling, we needed to refine our AI-powered DSD model, and we did just that. As reported in our last quarterly filing, from 2024 to 2025, we reduced quarterly operating expenses by over 30% and increased gross margins by 87%, growing from 15% to 28%. We're winning with AI, and now that we have a refined and tested system in place, we're in full growth mode. The Las Vegas Regional Hub is the first of several major initiatives as we sprint toward 1,000+ active retail locations. This scale will unlock even greater efficiency and new product opportunities across our network."

The Las Vegas Regional Hub will also serve as an additional fulfillment center for direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales and online orders, in addition to facilitating drop shipping of GPOX branded products.
