WINNING BRANDS CORPORATION DISTRIBUTION GROWS FOR 1000+ STAIN REMOVER

Midwest Retailers Gain Access Through Pearson Distributing of Minneapolis

Winning Brands Corporation, Delaware, (OTC:WNBD) reports today that Pearson Distributing of Minneapolis, Minnesota has restored Winning Brands leading cleaning solution, 1000+ Stain Remover, www.1000PlusStainRemover.com, to the Pearson product line in the USA.  Pearson’s opening order has been placed and will be manufactured immediately.  Pearson had carried 1000+ Stain Remover prior to the COVID period and is now reviving its relationship to 1000+ and to Winning Brands.

The return of the distributor listing for 1000+ Stain Remover is strategically significant to Winning Brands Corporation.  Pearson Distributing has a rich 50 year history of serving home improvement and paint retailers throughout the Midwest. Pearson has earned a large and loyal customer base of store accounts, and tradespeople, both.  With the return of Winning Brands Corporation to Pearson Distributing, Winning Brands’  lead product, 1000+ Stain Remover,  will again stand side-by-side at Pearson with industry cleaning peers such as WM Barr’s “Goof Off” brand and other industry favorite SKUs by Rust-oleum, 3M, Old Masters, and more.   

1000+ Stain Remover had carved out a fan base over the years when 1000+ was readily available to consumers and professionals in stores, physically on the shelves for immediate purchase.   However, a variety of COVID related supply chain issues and other factors had reduced distribution of 1000+ Stain Remover from its peak.  Winning Brands is again strengthening its base distribution structure for 1000+ Stain Remover.

Winning Brands Corporation CEO, Eric Lehner, comments – “We will be visible on the Pearson website when the goods arrive at the Minneapolis distribution center and sales personnel are trained. It’s a great feeling to see things returning to normal at Winning Brands after an interim quiet period.  There are many positive things happening now.”  

Pearson will be distributing both of Winning Brands’ most popular SKU variants.  This includes the 4oz “Handy Size” for spot removal and the traditional quart size for various other clean-up applications.  1000+ is popular amongst a variety of trades, such as painters, plumbers, auto detailers and roofers – in addition to those consumers who have heard of 1000+ by word-of-mouth from these same professionals.  

Lehner concludes, “The fact that the average person on the street has never heard of 1000+ Stain Remover is what makes our brand growth potential so great.  There is no saturation of the market in our case.  We have barely scratched the surface of 1000+ Stain Remover’s total market opportunity. 1000+ is the world’s most versatile clean-up solution.  Of course I am biased, yet I genuinely believe this to be true based on my first-hand lived experience and the feedback that we have received from thousands of consumers over time. I am thrilled that we can now supply Pearson with all 4oz bottles in beautifully updated 12-unit shelf packs.  It makes the Handy Size the perfect  impulse item in the check-out lane.  We had this concept available before, but have finished upgrading everything about it for 2025.  It’s stronger, brighter, with better fit and finish. The display is now tough enough for case-pack shipping purposes too.  It’s all good.”

Winning Brands announced in December 2024 that 1000+ Stain Remover was also recently restored to Home Depot online for consumers, following a hiatus there too.  At the Home Depot online sales portal, 1000+ is now available to consumers both as a 3-pack SKU and a single bottle SKU. 1000+ Stain Remover also qualifies at Home Depot for free-to-store shipping and pick-up for Home Depot consumers across America. Shoppers in America can collect their 1000+ Stain Remover from any Home Depot store in the USA if the customer orders the product is ordered online.
