(June 26, 2009) Barrie, Ontario, Canada - Winning Brands Corporation (OTC: WNBD) (Frankfurt: WMU.F), manufacturer of popular new Winning Colours Stain Remover www.WinningBrands.ca and its distribution partner House-Hasson www.HouseHasson.com are bucking the trend of economic gloom by reporting strong interest in their “Raging River of Profits” convention commencing today at Cincinnati's Duke Energy Center. www.cincyusa.com/House-Hasson “At a time when there is so much bad economic news out there, it's great to see the positive reaction to the arrival of Winning Colours to Ohio” says Winning Brands’ Senior Vice-President Lorne Kelly. The relative strength of home renovations compared to the decline of new housing starts is good news for Winning Colours Stain Remover.  The product is considered a rising star amongst many professionals and consumers in the paint & decorating sector for use as an eco-replacement to traditional solvents for clean-up.

Mr. Kelly explains why the current economic climate affects Winning Brands less than some companies. “There is a lot of painting going on regardless of whether a home is being sold or simply renovated. House-Hasson dealers are converging on Cincinnati to place orders for things that can still move in today’s business climate. Winning Colours Stain Remover is a great fit because stains and messes happen constantly whether it’s a recession or an economic expansion. Messes are unavoidable. Winning Colours is a consumable product that remains useful regardless. But just as importantly, we are an eco-responsible alternative to old fashioned solvent products. That’s a winning combination. In fact, we’re impossible to miss with our gigantic 10ft tall Winning Colours bottle that just happens to serve as an easily seen meeting point for people on the show floor.”

Ohio has figured prominently in discussions around Winning Brands recently centering on the question of whether a large U.S. retailer(s) would join the growing number of independent retailers in making Winning Colours Stain Remover available in some of their stores, starting in Ohio. “Our purpose in Ohio this weekend is to help build House-Hasson dealer sales” says Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner, adding “…other distribution/retailing relationships pertaining to Ohio are still advancing toward implementation as well.  Our presence at this terrific event in Ohio will naturally accelerate awareness of Winning Colours in this state and reinforce Ohio as a good place for other initiatives. In the big picture, it all fits together.”
