NEW YORK, March 25, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mobile
Star Corp. (OTCBB: MBST), a developer of karaoke vending machines,
announced today that its proprietary vending machine was used over
60 times, nearly to full capacity during it's busiest day ever in
New York.
Following the pilot, the company reached a preliminary
distribution agreement with Apple Industries, one of North America's premier manufacturers and
distributors of coin-operated electronic entertainment.
Apple Industries plans to distribute the Mobile Star's
next-generation entertainment vending booth, utilizing its
well-established marketing channels. Apple Industries currently
operates a vast distribution network, placing products in shopping
centers, amusement parks, theaters, casinos, restaurants, pubs, and
various other tourist attractions.
Apple Industries' professional team closely monitored the
New York pilot, which confirmed
the quality of the vending system and demonstrated greater return
on investment potential than initially anticipated.
Each vending machine is expected to generate over $30,000 in gross annual revenues.
"We plan to begin marketing the machine in the second half of
2010, and we reasonably expect to distribute over 1,000 units in
the first 12 months," said Allen
Weisberg, President of Apple Industries. "Today there are
over 40,000 bars nationwide with jukeboxes. We anticipate placing
the Mobile Star in many of these locations in the coming years, in
addition to other locations such as nationwide theater chains,
etc."
"The Mobile Star fits right into our lineup of machines that are
innovative and fun, and bring owners a satisfying return on
investment. With the growing national interest in karaoke, stemming
from song contests like American Idol, we are confident that the
Mobile Star will quickly become a market winner," Weisberg
added.
"The Mobile Star performed incredibly well during our recent
pilot, producing over 60 recordings on a single-day," said
Danny Elbaz, CEO of Mobile Star
Corp. "Such demand for the machine creates even greater return on
investment potential for a vending booth owner than previously
anticipated."
