CHICAGO-BASED MINAR PRODUCTS PARTNERS WITH WALGREENS FOR ONLINE DISTRIBUTION

African-American Owned Company Gaining Ground in the Competitive Health and Beauty Industry







Chicago, IL (BlackNews.com) - After nearly a year of establishing successful partnerships with some of the nation's top retailers, Minar Products announces yet another corporate milestone: its signature all-natural soaps and toothpaste are now conveniently available to consumers worldwide at Walgreens.com.

The deal to make Minar Products available on the Walgreens website was finalized in late-September after months of negotiations. "Prior to this, we were only available in selected Chicago-area Walgreens stores," said Henry Stewart, President of Minar. "Now, we are available to virtually anyone with access to the internet," he concluded.

Spokesperson Bertina Power said Minar is proud to be associated with Walgreens, a company that has established itself as one of the nation's premier retailers. "Walgreens is a name consumers have grown to trust. Making Minar Products available on their website adds credibility to our brand and validates the high-level of quality we have always provided to our customers," she said.

Until last year, Minar Products had existed in virtual obscurity since being established in 2001. Though the all-natural soaps and toothpaste were popular among small "ma and pa" stores and some mid-sized, health-oriented retailers, the company brought in lackluster revenues and showed little growth. It wasn't long before Stewart decided that just because the product was all-natural didn't mean it had to be relegated to small outlets.

In 2005, Stewart took the helm as sole owner after buying out his partners, and set off on a mission to position the company for the national brand recognition it is currently enjoying.

In addition to Walgreens.com, Minar Products are also available at Jewel-Osco, Cub Foods, Dominick's and regionally at Food 4 Less stores. For more information, visit: www.minarproducts.com. There, consumers can also click on the Walgreens.com link and go directly to that site to purchase the product.
