Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 7, 2020) - Peekaboo Beans Inc. (CSE: BEAN) (OTCQB: PBBSF) ("PK Beans" or the "Company") would like to provide the following corporate update along with wishes for health, safety and comfort to the PK Beans community during these unstable and uncertain global conditions.
PK Beans remains open 24/7 at www.pkbeans.com for customers to shop styles to keep children comfortable, safe and playful at home during this time. The Company has implemented scheduling adjustments and is following the recommended social distancing and precautionary measures at their Head Office and Warehouse in Richmond to ensure the continued health and safety of team members, customers and the community. The Company, with the safety of their staff, customers and community in mind, made the difficult decision to close their Flagship store location indefinitely, effective March 19, 2020. The Company is working with the effected staff to find the best possible support and solutions during this time. The Company is evaluating government support options with the best interests for both employees and the business. PK Beans is actively working with manufacturers and suppliers on suitable terms to ensure continued flow of services and inventory during this time, and the remainder of 2020.
Despite the most recent challenges experienced across the industry, the Company would like to highlight major initiatives launched recently allowing the company to remain relevant and an asset to the market environment. The recent launch of the PK Beans Explorers' Club subscription arrived at a time when parents need help more than ever, searching for fun, educational and engaging activities to keep children occupied. The Company's Rebrand has sparked positive, strong feedback and support, keeping the customers engaged and interested in what's to come later this year. With positive beta testing of a second-hand PK Beans market in the store, the Company is now actively ramping up to launch online sooner to meet customer demand within the current retail environment. PK Bean's Spring 2020 Collection, which included Children's Sleepwear, provide higher margins for the company and is the perfect collection for children to remain comfortable, safe and playful at home, with peace of mind for parents.
PK Beans would like to highlight a monthly sales increase of 47% year over year, and continue to see consistent, strong and positive return on digital ad spend.
"It's challenging for individuals, families and business as we navigate these uncertain times", says CEO Traci Costa. "We want to create assurance, that despite the global economy, we are taking proactive and necessary measures to get through this".
