(OTCQB: AWSM) (the \"Company\" or \"Cool Holdings\"), the parent company of Simply Mac, Inc., the largest Apple Premier Partner in the U.S. (\"Simply Mac\"), announced that it has begun to reopen and expand the hours of many of its Simply Mac retail stores that had been closed or had hours of operation curtailed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Four stores located in Johnson City, TN, Lubbock, TX, Missoula, MT, and Springfield, MO were opened on May 4, 2020, and two stores located in Bozeman, MT and Ft. Wayne, IN are scheduled to reopen on May 18, 2020.  The Company had previously reduced hours of operation at all stores by closing on Sundays and Mondays, but is now reopening 28 additional stores on Mondays.  These actions are enabling Simply Mac to rehire many of its employees who were previously laid-off during the closures.\nCommenting on the transaction, Reinier Voigt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cool Holdings, stated: \"We are pleased that restrictive conditions in many of the localities where our Simply Mac stores operate are being eased and allowing us to reopen many of our stores and expand our hours of operation.  After these stores are reopened, we will have 38 stores in operation with 6 stores still remaining closed for various reasons.  We are grateful to all our employees who worked diligently through these difficult times to serve the needs of customers at our stores that remained open.  After Apple announced on March 13, 2020 that it would be closing all its domestic retail stores, our Simply Mac stores have been filling an important need to support adults working remotely and students studying at home with Apple laptops, tablets, certified repair services and technical support.\"\nCommentin...
