Company Press Release

GREENVILLE, Rhode Island--Nov. 26, 1999—WholesaleHub.com announced today a vertical portal web site where small business buyers and sellers of products and services can meet to exchange ideas and information. Until now, there has not been a place on the Internet where people can meet to help in all aspects of their businesses. The Wholesale Hub provides free classifieds, bulletin boards, chat rooms, web sites and many other services for people who visit the site.

"Vertical portals" (sometimes referred to, as “Vortals” are Internet web sites that serve as guides or directories for specific topics on the Web.

"We believe this is the one of the first such sites created specifically to serve the total needs of small business people for essential communications” stated Ed Vilandrie site creator and Principal of Wholesale Hub.com. "This site provides targeted access to fundamental resources, such as a newsletter for the small business person, online access to new friends and colleagues, timely financial, news, shipping, product source and weather information, as well as government services available for the small business person. Presently small business web sites do not effectively address the total needs of the small business person. Some of these sites provide business links, while others contain only product information. Wholesale Hub supplies all the required information at one starting point ”.

The Wholesale Hub has evolved during the past two years from a home page to a World-Class Web site. The site was developed with the understanding that the World Wide Web would be growing at a tremendous rate. Early in 1997 most of the Internet users were technical types and there was very little available information for wholesale buyers and sellers. The vertical portal concept was developed as a friendly place where wholesale buyers and sellers meet to profit. It is expected that the mall will receive over 100,000 targeted visitors during the next 12 months. Their opt-in ezine newsletter is distributed to people in over 20 countries.

The Wholesale Hub web site can be found at http://www.wholesalehub.com.
