GPO Plus (OTCQB: GPOX): Using AI to Transform Convenience Store Distribution
The wholesale distribution industry is quietly evolving. As consumer expectations shift toward faster delivery and better product availability, small and independent retailers — from gas stations to smoke shops — are increasingly underserved by legacy distributors focused on mass-market accounts. These stores face unique inventory challenges and struggle to access high-demand, niche products. At the same time, advances in logistics and AI are creating room for agile players to step in. Direct Store Delivery (DSD), long considered a rigid segment, is being redefined by data-driven models and flexible fulfillment strategies. Market projections highlight the scale of the opportunity: the global convenience store market is expected to grow by $930 billion between 2024 and 2028, while the U.S. same-day delivery market is forecast to more than double by 2033. One company capitalizing on this shift is GPO Plus Inc. (OTCQB: GPOX), an emerging distributor using artificial intelligence to transform how products move from warehouses to independent retailers. Smarter Distribution with PRISM+ GPOX's ambition is to build the largest DSD company in the U.S., tailored to the needs of underserved retail categories. At the heart of its operation is PRISM+, the company's proprietary AI platform. PRISM+ manages deliveries, monitors inventory, analyzes sales data, and optimizes logistics — helping retailers get what they need without the bottlenecks of traditional supply chains. GPOX's fulfillment model is built around regional hubs and smaller mini-hubs that allow for faster, more efficient delivery. This decentralization — powered by real-time data — ensures better product availability while reducing both downtime and operating costs for stores. Financial Momentum and Operational Gains GPOX recently reported strong financial results that validate its model: CEO Brett H. Pojunis noted, 'We're very pleased with this quarter's results—not just the revenue growth, but the meaningful improvements in margins and operating efficiency. Over the past year, we've refined our model, strengthened operations, and invested in technology that gives us a significant competitive advantage. Now, we're ready to scale.' Strategic Expansion Begins in Las Vegas In April 2025, GPOX opened a new Regional Hub and DISTRO+ Cash + Carry Center in Las Vegas — a major step in its national rollout strategy. The hub is designed to support over 2,100 potential retail locations in the Las Vegas metro area, including convenience stores, gas stations, smoke shops, vape shops, liquor stores, bodegas, and small grocers. The company's near-term target is to onboard 200 retail locations from this market, with each expected to generate roughly $1,000 in monthly sales. Over time, that represents a $2.4 million annual opportunity from this hub alone. This new hub also includes a 'Cash + Carry' store, where retailers can browse and buy inventory directly. It provides an additional revenue stream and builds deeper relationships with local businesses. It's a physical touchpoint that complements the digital efficiency of PRISM+, creating a hybrid model that traditional distributors can't easily replicate. A Focus on the Overlooked 15–20% What sets GPOX apart is its focus on the 15–20% of convenience store merchandise that major distributors tend to ignore — often niche, fast-moving, or specialty items that smaller stores urgently need but struggle to source. Instead of competing with national chains on soda or chips, GPOX offers a smarter, more profitable way for retailers to stock high-demand goods they can't reliably get elsewhere. This narrow focus creates customer loyalty while improving margins — a powerful combination in a fragmented and underserved market. Built to Scale GPOX's expansion is being driven by a model that's proving both scalable and efficient. With PRISM+ streamlining operations and regional hubs supporting high-density markets, GPOX is demonstrating how a modern DSD platform can grow without bloated overhead. Recent financial improvements suggest the model can handle scale: expanding revenue, widening margins, and falling costs point to a distribution company that's not just growing — it's maturing operationally. CEO Brett Pojunis put it plainly: 'We're winning with AI, and now that we have a refined and tested system in place, we're in full growth mode. The Las Vegas hub is just the first of several initiatives as we sprint toward 1,000+ active retail locations.' Conclusion In a sector where innovation is long overdue, GPOX is delivering not with flash, but with execution. The company is taking a once-overlooked retail segment — small-format stores underserved by large distributors — and building a fast, smart, AI-powered network tailored to their needs. With improving financials, a proven tech platform, and a clear strategy for expansion, GPOX is positioning itself as a rising force in the $1 trillion-plus convenience retail Contact Company Name: RazorPitch Contact Person: Mark McKelvie Email: Send Email City: NAPLES State: Florida Country: United States Website: Press Release Distributed by To view the original version on ABNewswire visit: GPO Plus (OTCQB: GPOX): Using AI to Transform Convenience Store Distribution

The U.S. convenience store and gas station industry represents 152,396 locations, generating over $327.6 Billion in annual in-store sales, not including fuel.

GPOX is revolutionizing the industry by leveraging AI and real-time data analytics to optimize driver routes, enhance product selection, and improve revenue efficiency, providing a distinct competitive advantage. AI-Powered Innovation in Distribution Through this partnership, CBDW will integrate advanced AI capabilities into PRISM+, GPOX's proprietary logistics and inventory management platform, advising and delivering key enhancements, some examples may include: AI-Driven Route Optimization.

AI-powered analytics to ensure optimal product selection, reducing waste and increasing margins. Retail Insights & Demand Forecasting. Data integration across GPOX's retail network to maximize store-level profitability. Performance Monitoring + AI Optimization. Continuous improvements to machine learning models for real-time operational enhancements. By implementing these AI-driven enhancements, GPOX is setting a new industry standard for efficiency and profitability in distribution - an industry that has historically struggled to adapt to modern technological advancements.

"While most distributors rely on outdated systems that limit their ability to optimize operations, we are fully integrating AI into every aspect of our with 1606 Corp. perfectly aligns with our vision of leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, setting the stage for game-changing advancements in operational efficiency and service delivery. I am genuinely excited to see how this collaboration transforms our industry." The partnership aligns with GPOX's broader strategy to scale its AI-powered DSD model, which focuses on servicing the fragmented 15% - 20% of high-margin convenience store products that major distributors do not handle. With PRISM+ at the core of its operations, GPOX is building a more responsive, data-driven, and scalable distribution network that can adapt to the evolving needs of independent retailers.
