“Cobie isn’t the biggest star we have shot this year. But her cover has generated a huge response. There is something about the naturalness of her pose, the fresh-out-of-bed hair, and the sexy, plunging neckline that is very captivating.

JP comes to Gateway, most recently from Benjamin News.  His knowledge of press in the retail environment has come from his many years of experience at The UCS Group, (now LS Travel Retail) where he oversaw 26 retail stores in Quebec and Ontario, including large newsstands and airport locations for 14 years.
 

JP will begin at Gateway Newstands on Monday April 14th.

We look forward to JP’s enthusiasm and commitment to growing the presence and profile in this growing market for Gateway Newstands."
