Burnaby, British Columbia - August 26, 2013 - GLENTEL Inc. (TSX: GLN) announced today that as of August 1, 2013, its U.S. subsidiary, Diamond Wireless, an exclusive Verizon Wireless National Premium Retailer, began managing and operating 154 kiosks in 12 U.S. states as part of its multi-year kiosk licensing agreement with BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. ("BJ's). Verizon Wireless, under agreement with BJ's, has been operating the 154 wireless kiosks since 2006. As a National Premium Retailer for Verizon Wireless, Diamond Wireless, under a new agreement with BJ's, has agreed to manage and operate the existing wireless kiosks within BJ's and to open kiosks in other selected BJ's locations that currently do not offer smartphones. Smartphones and other wireless devices sold at the kiosks are activated by Diamond Wireless exclusively through Verizon Wireless, which offers America's largest 4G LTE network.

"We are delighted to commence our long-term exclusive kiosk licensing agreement with BJ's and look forward to a successful and rewarding relationship with BJ's," said Troy Crosland, Diamond Wireless' President and Managing Director. "Diamond Wireless' commitment to excellence, with first-rate customer service and product knowledge, should meet or exceed the expectations of BJ's club members."  

Tom Skidmore, GLENTEL's President and CEO stated, "Under the leadership of Diamond Wireless, we anticipate our BJ's related sales to add approximately $110 to 125 million of top-line revenue and be accretive to earnings per share over the next twelve months. It is expected that the Diamond-BJ's kiosk stores will have similar financial performance to the Costco Wholesale Canada wireless kiosks managed by GLENTEL's Retail Canada Division under the WIRELESS etc… and SANS FIL etc…banners. Our partnership with BJ's is further evidence of GLENTEL's commitment to the U.S. smartphone market and our relationship with Verizon Wireless, our U.S. exclusive wireless carrier."
