Press Release Summary: Oya Costumes, a leading Canadian specialty internet retailer,
announced today the relocation of its offices and warehouse facilities to Complexe
du Canal Lachine on St-Ambroise Street in Montreal.

Press Release Body: Montreal, Quebec, August 14, 2008 - "I am really excited about
this move," said Faten Hodroge, President of the company. Prior to the move, the
company's Canadian warehousing was located in the Chabanel area of Montreal.
"We now benefit from having our warehousing and customer support center under the
same roof," Ms. Hodroge went on to say, "During Halloween, quick communication
between the customer support center and the warehousing operation is vital for our
operation. Having both so close to each other allow us a very quick and efficient
turnaround"
With a 50% yearly increase in revenues, it is not surprising that the company is
undergoing its second move in the last three years. From a humble start as a
stay-at-home-Mom-based operation, Oya Costumes is fast becoming one of the leading
internet companies in Canada. This is not surprising, since Halloween costumes in
general, and internet retailers, are both a fast-growth industry.
According to a recent Retail Council of Canada study, 68% of Canadians participate
in at least one Halloween-related activity, spending on average $60 each. This is
very similar to the findings of the (US) National Retail Federation, which reported
that nearly two thirds of American consumers were planning to celebrate Halloween,
each spending an average of $59.
Ms. Hodroge is continuously refining her company's niche in the marketplace and its
customers online shopping experience. Oya Costumes prides itself on carrying a full
line of costumes all year round, guaranteeing a large selection whenever you wish to
make a purchase. Last year, the company shifted its website to Netsuite, an
integrated Ecommerce, Accounting and Customer Relationship application to improve
customers' shopping experience.
According to Ms. Hodroge, "Customers can now check the status of their order
on-line. As the website is now linked to the inventory management system, if an item
is not in stock, the customer will be notified immediately."

Oya Costumes was founded in 2004 by Faten Hodroge. The firm is dedicated to
providing a broad, year-round selection of top quality costumes for adults and
children. Customer satisfaction is the hallmark of the firm.
