Some of you know I run a comic book company with a friend of mine called Rogue Wolf Entertainment. Now we've branched out as an Indie Comic Book Distributor :D
Here is the press release!
Cold Cut Distribution Under New Management
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
As you read this, thousands of comics are being packed up and shipped from their old home in Salinas, CA to their new home in Chicago, IL.
Cold Cut Distribution, the leading distributor of independent and small to mid-size press comics in the United States, has sold their company assets to Rogue Wolf Entertainment.
Retailers can still access the online ordering system at www.ColdCut.com, but be advised that Cold Cut will not be able to fulfill new orders while the inventory is still being moved and set up in the new warehouse.
"We expect to be back up to full speed by the end of February," said Lance Stahlberg, Vice President of Rogue Wolf. "We've already begun to reach out to customers and publishers, making sure inventory gaps are kept to a minimum as we rebuild."
"I'd been looking for someone who could take the company the next level, and Lance and his team are exactly the right people for the job," said Cold Cut's owner, Mark Thompson. "Having Cold Cut located in Chicago will cut shipping times and costs for most of our customers and suppliers, and makes more sense for the entire industry."
The new owners will continue to offer the same flat discount rate to retailers, and will seek to extend the same terms to all new accounts with previous Cold Cut customers.
"As a team, we bring twenty-four years experience in the distribution business combined with a first-hand understanding of the needs of independent publishers to the table," Lance added. "We have the resources to take this company to new heights."
Keep an eye out for more information in the coming weeks!
