“Although we are disappointed that we came close to but did not hit our target of $9M in sales for the year end, we are encouraged by our performance in the first quarter of FYE 2020 especially since we made multiple changes to our platforms back-end. This caused our sales to slow down temporarily at the end of last year as we switched part of our sales away from third party sites and moved these to our proprietary websites with the goal of increasing gross margins and retaining greater control over our customer service and customer user experience,” said Christopher Davenport President and CEO of The 4Less Corp, “Now that we have made significant improvements to our operating platforms, we anticipate the trend of sales on our websites to represent the largest cash flow growth versus sales on third party market places and thus translating into greater overall gross margins for the company.”
Manufacturing/Distribution
The Company has entered into an LOI with its first small manufacturer as part of its Small Manufacturers Program and is working on a definitive agreement. Should this deal close as anticipated The Company believes this program will allow The 4Less Corp to increase its sales margins while offering additional products that are not available through other distributors. Additionally, the company is currently in negotiations with a second manufacturer at this time and looks forward to disclosing more details should a deal transpire.
