Daniel LeBlanc, President of ICEX stated, "We are extremely pleased with the opportunity to install our 'Ice Island' units in Macro's Food Mart stores located in the Lafayette, LA area. The units will undergo a production testing at the Food Mart locations to supply ice sales for the stores. The systems will allow Macro to exercise better control of their bagged ice inventory, eliminate the need for ice deliveries, and allow for sales fulfillment during peak ice demand periods."

"We anticipate building a long and lasting relationship with Macro that will allow for the installation of 'Ice Island' production units wherever the needs are justified to increase the profitability of ice sales at Macro operated convenience stores," stated Mr. LeBlanc.
