FT. LAUDERDALE, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/02/07 -- Prime Time Group Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PRTH) ("the Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed its
first acquisition and now has controlling interest in Southern Wheel Workz
Inc., as part of its acquisition strategy and in diversifying its asset
portfolio.
"This acquisition represents the first in a number of acquisitions to be
announced that are consistent with the business and strategic plan
announced in January of this year," says Johnny Ray Arnold, Chairman of
Prime Time Group Inc.
Our expectations are to establish 30-50 Wheel Workz locations across
Florida and other areas we have signed agreements for within the next three
years. "With annual licensing fees, we are looking at $3.75 Million in
licensing fees before location revenues," says Johnny Arnold. "This could
easily be a $100 million venture within a relatively short period of time."
"The rapidly expanding automotive rent-to-own industry represents nearly
the same market percentage as the computer rent-to-own or about 4.7%," says
Dale Ingram CEO of Wheel Workz. "The opportunity for growth with Prime Time
is enormous, franchises alone currently have revenues of approximately $4
Million per year and that doesn't include the licensing fees." Ingram
adds, "We provide the entire solution, SALES, Rent-to-Own, Service, and
Repair for all vehicle types including high end cars like Lamborghini,
Ferrari, Bentley, BMW and Mercedes to name a few."
Wheel Workz, the parent company (www.wheelworkz.com), which is located in
Memphis, Tennessee, is the largest independently owned supplier of original
equipment and custom wheels in the Mid-South region of the United States.
Wheel Workz is also a leader in the successful automotive rent-to-own
industry. Prime Time and Southern Wheel Workz Inc. signed a Franchise
Agreement with Wheel Workz Inc. making them the Area Licensee, with area
agreements to franchise in Florida, the Caribbean, Brazil, Panama,
Argentina and Venezuela.
