QUIKDROP TO OPEN 29 EBAY 'DROP-OFF' STORES IN NORTH CAROLINA

QuikDrop International announced today that Audrey and Geoff Groves have been granted area development rights to open 29 QuikDrop eBay drop-off stores in the State of North Carolina. QuikDrop franchise opportunities are available in all areas of North Carolina immediately. The first North Carolina based QuikDrop retail store will open in Cary this January.

QuikDrop eBay drop-off stores provide an easy way for anyone to sell their items on eBay simply and conveniently. New or used items with a value of $50 or more can be dropped off at any QuikDrop location, where they are photographed and placed on eBay. Once sold, QuikDrop handles the payment and shipping details with the winning bidder. The customer receives a check in the mail for the full amount of the sale, less a commission to QuikDrop.

"I've been in the Internet business for a long time and I've never seen anything as exciting as eBay," says Mr. Groves. "QuikDrop's franchise model of locally owned eBay drop-off stores in every community brings the eBay experience to the masses."

"The Groves have the right combination of sales and customer service experience along with excellent eBay experience," says Murray Mead, President of QuikDrop International. "They have the resources and leadership skills to develop our brand in North Carolina.

History
QuikDrop pioneered the eBay drop-off store franchise business model and was the first company to obtain state approval to operate eBay drop-off store franchises in the United States. QuikDrop opened the very first eBay drop-off store franchise in August 2003. Since that time, eighteen QuikDrop locations have opened in nine states. Franchise contracts are currently in place to open over 500 stores in the United States and 100 stores internationally.
