MIAMI, March 8, 2021 - Simply, Inc. (OTCQX: SIMP) (the 'Company') announced the grand opening of its new Simply Mac retail store in Orlando, Florida. This 1,562 square foot official Apple Premier Partner Store is located in the University Shoppes Orlando at 12101 University Blvd., Suite 237, Orlando, FL, and will offer the entire suite of Apple products, as well as third party accessories and Simply Mac's signature service and warranty repairs on all product categories by our trained team of Apple-certified technicians. Simply Mac also offers customer financing and extended warranty coverage on all Apple products.

Commenting on the new Simply Mac store opening, Reinier Voigt, Chief Executive Officer of Simply, Inc., stated: 'We are excited to open our new store in Orlando, located across the street and within easy walking distance to the University of Central Florida ('UCF'), the largest university in the U.S. (by enrollment) with almost 72,000 students. Our team of sales professionals and Apple-certified technicians look forward to focusing on the product and service needs of UCF students, while our sister store located 23 miles away is closer to the theme parks of Walt Disney World, Universal, SeaWorld and Legoland, and is focused on the tourist population. Orlando claims to be the most visited destination in the U.S. with approximately 75 million visitors per year, including 6.5 million international visitors.'

Commenting further, Mr. Voigt stated: 'This new Orlando UCF store represents the tenth new store we have opened in the last five months. Five of those ten stores were relocations of stores from previously expired leases, but the other five were brand new stores in new locations. And, there are more new stores to come in the months ahead as we continue expansion of the Simply Mac footprint in North America. During this process, we are taking advantage of reduced occupancy costs in the current environment as we strive for 'profitable' growth. Our site selection model includes criteria for local population, median household income, preferable presence of a major university, distance from the nearest Apple store and minimum projected annual operating income. In addition, all new locations must be approved in advance by Apple. We remain committed to our mission to provide our customers with transformational experiences that drive long-term customer loyalty, and to improving our profitability to increase shareholder value.'
