MTF Price Matters has just opened the 12th store in their discount retail chain in Kamloops on Thursday July 2nd.
Price Matters focuses on providing their customers with brand name merchandise priced below wholesale.
"The savings you find in the store are genuine! Every day national manufacturers and retail chains across Canada and the USA liquidate an enormous volume of factory closeouts, seasonal products, display models, package damaged goods, and customer returns. We purchase this merchandise and we sell it to you at great prices through our discounting program," says Mark Funk, President of Price Matters.
"Our new Kamloops store looks great and has something to offer everyone."
Mark adds, "We have been very keen to find a location in Kamloops and when the opportunity opened up in Valleyview off the Trans Canada Hwy East we jumped at it. We are a growing business right now and Kamloops is a very important community to us."
The quality of goods at Price matters compares to high end retailers but without the high end pricing. In addition, the chain offers a warranty program on electronics products. Their stores have the same major product categories as big box stores, including: groceries, electronics, clothing, furniture and most everything is brand name, for example: Tide, Nike, Sony, and Natuzzi.
Prices are lower than wholesale giving customers a significant savings of 20% to 50% off retail prices on major brand name, items.
Voted #1 by Vancouver Magazine for best retail discount experience, MTF Price Matters has received important recognition for creating high value for its' customers; Price Matters is a family owned business and proudly Canadian.
