FPI Signs Design and Installation Agreement for Nike Stores

DALLAS - July 18, 2000 Nike and Fixture Perfect International Inc. have teamed up to implement a nationwide multi-store design and installation program at various retail locations. FPI is the only national turnkey resource for program management, store and fixture design, store planning, fixturing, site survey and CAD services, logistics management, general construction, installation of retail fixtures, and merchandising.

"The sports apparel industry is very competitive, requiring outstanding timing and execution to achieve success," said FPI President and CEO Richard Davis. "We're pleased that Nike would choose FPI for such a critical program. Our team is confident that this project will showcase our capabilities by helping Nike stores run past the competition."

The Nike stores range in size, location and product line. Sixteen stores are slated for installations during June and July, with additional installations projected during the remainder of the year.

"Each store has its own individual needs and we'll implement solutions for them on a case by case basis," noted Paul Hamer, FPI Vice President of Sales. "This presents several challenges, but with our advanced technology and experienced personnel, we're confident we'll complete a smooth roll out at each site."

FPI will provide multiple services including program management and site survey as well as fixture installation. Program management ensures smooth roll outs while site surveys provide an accurate depiction of each shop's individual needs. FPI's fixture installation will provide the perfect showcase for Nike products.

"Nike's high profile, with spokespeople like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan, places the sports apparel retailer in a class of its own," added Davis. "Working with this prestigious client will allow FPI to continue solidifying its position as the industry leader based on outstanding service, unparalleled quality and superb value, while Nike wins with superior shops."

In addition to working with Nike, FPI is also the development services provider of choice for top retailers such as Polo Jeans Company, Nautica Jeans Company, Tommy Hilfiger and Kenneth Cole. These customers can take advantage of the most advanced technological services in the industry available through FPI.

"Our continued growth over the past 10 years is based on a commitment to hiring the best talent that our industry has to offer as well as maintaining the technological edge over our competitors," added Davis. "This allows us to provide our customers with the distinguished service and industry know-how they have come to expect. It's a pleasure to put that expertise to work for Nike."
