NATIONAL RETAIL SYSTEMS (NRS) PRESIDENT & COO TO ADDRESS NEW YORK/NEW JERSEY PORT INDUSTRY DAY CONFERENCE

Raymond Wisniewski To Discuss How Retail Supply Chains Are Changing and The Role of the Port in Streamlining Logistics Processes

Secaucus, N.J., Aug. 14, 2007 - Raymond Wisniewski, President & COO of National Retail Systems Inc. (NRS), a leading provider of retail logistics services in the United States, will address industry officials at the 7th Annual New York-New Jersey Port Industry Day conference and exhibition on October 11 at the Central Railroad Terminal at Liberty State Park in Jersey City. Sponsored annually by the maritime and transportation community, last year's Port Industry Day attracted nearly 600 executives representing every aspect of the global shipping industry.

"The enormous growth of world cargo coming into our marine terminals over the past few years has had a major effect on our facilities and infrastructure as well as the way we do business in the port. The focus for this year's Port Industry Day is to look at these new developments and craft a vision for maintaining and strengthening the Port's role in the safe and efficient movement of goods to the businesses and population of our region," said Thomas Adamski, Port Industry Day Chairman, and Dorothy Rosciszewski, Port Industry Day Coordinator, in a letter of invitation.

"Since NRS' commitment to building the nation's most efficient retail logistics network has been unmatched, we are most anxious to hear your views on the changing patterns taking place in logistics and distribution."

NRS operates one of the largest distribution facilities in the New York area, including several transload facilities, warehouses and a state-of-the-art automated cross-dock that is among the most advanced of its kind in the world. NRS also operates multiple facilities in the Los Angeles area, including an automated DC and over 1 million square feet of distribution space within 10 miles from the Port of Long Beach. A new Savannah facility will add to NRS' significant presence in the Southeast with facilities in Greensboro, N.C.; Tampa, Fla.; and Miami.
