PUDO and CST Canada Agree to Three-year Partnership

Canada's first pick-up and drop-off service expands throughout Eastern and Atlantic Canada

TORONTO, Feb. 1, 2016 /CNW/ - PUDO Inc. ("PUDO") (CSE: PDO; OTCQB: PDPTF), announced today that it has partnered with CST Canada – the exclusive retailer to Ultramar branded motor fuels – to create additional PUDO Points™ in over 300 locations in Greater Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces. 

The partnership with CST Canada allows increased access for customers to the rapidly growing PUDO Point™ network. PUDO members can shop online through PUDO's affiliate portal and use a PUDO Point™ address for their "not-at-home" deliveries. This means Canadians can pick up their parcels at their nearest CST Canada site at their convenience.

"Our partnership with CST Canada is an incredible addition to the PUDO Point™ network," said Frank Coccia, Chief Executive Officer, PUDO Inc. "With a solid footprint in Canada, CST will provide more options for alternative delivery solutions for our existing and potential customers."

"We are so pleased to be working with PUDO," said Mario Sauvé, Regional Vice President, CST Brands Inc. "We know our customers will greatly benefit from having more flexibility with their deliveries.

PUDO currently has more than 5,000 PUDO Point™ dealers signed up across North America, and a network that continues to grow each day with dealers becoming operational. For these dealers, PUDO provides opportunities for additional foot traffic and the potential for repeat customer business. As the last mile delivery solution for e-commerce purchases, PUDO has created affiliate agreements with some of North America's most well-known retailers, including Amazon, eBay, Hudson's Bay and Walmart to ensure customers never miss a home delivery again.
