Madvapes building presence in vapor market

Madvapes has acquired 15 new U.S. stores in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois.

“We’re very excited to announce the acquisition of 15 new stores, cementing our reputation for being the true experts in electronic cigarettes,” said Mark Hoogendoorn, founder of Madvapes.

“Over recent years, the e-cigarette market has grown significantly, with millions of users turning to vapes, including those who are trying to quit traditional smoking. This is an ever-growing market and we’re proud to have become one of the leading providers of electronic cigarette products and accessories in the U,S. and beyond.

“Our goal is to deliver the best possible customer service experience, whilst bringing new and exciting products to market. This latest expansion will help us to achieve our aim of making our products as accessible as possible, in locations that are convenient for all of our customers.”

Originally established in July 2009 in Mooresville, North Carolina, Madvapes was started from a home office but soon expanded into a garage, then a rented warehouse space, and, finally, a 10,000 square foot warehouse space.

Having successfully positioned itself as the largest online vape store, Madvapes opened its first bricks and mortar store in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2013. With the acquisition of 15 new stores, the brand now has 107 stores in total.
