CITY GEAR RELEASES TWO EPISODES OF ‘FRESH OFF THE BLOCK’ CELEBRATING CINCINNATI STREETWEAR, MUSIC & BASKETBALL

Hibbett, Inc.

Hibbett, Inc., (NASDAQ:HIBB), an athletic-inspired fashion retailer with more than 1,148 Hibbett and City Gear specialty stores nationwide, today announced the latest release of Fresh Off The Block (FOTB) produced in partnership with Nike and Nice Kicks, featuring Cincinnati style. Each episode of City Gear’s Fresh Off The Block series takes viewers to a new city to explore the area’s impact on the music scene, basketball, personal style and the neighborhoods behind the city’s heartbeat. The latest FOTB project takes place in Cincinnati, Ohio and spotlights two locals who have a great love for the city and its amazing vibe. The first basketball-centric episode drops on October 31 st with local, Mark Dorris whose passion for hoops has been a calling. The second music-focused episode launches on November 14 th with Rapper, Brince Etter. Both episodes will be featured on City Gear’s YouTube channel @CityGearOfficial and on Hibbett.com and Nice Kicks. “We illuminate stories of fascinating people with each Fresh Off The Block episode and showcase the influence cities have on fashion, music and basketball,” said Sarah-Sharp Wangaard, VP Marketing, Hibbett. “This episode is extra special because it coincides with the 50 th Anniversary of Hip Hop and shows how much influence music has had on both Mark and Brince and the community.” In episode one, the FOTB crew meet up with Mark Dorris, a former basketball player, Dean of Students and CEO of HoopNerdz, as he recalls his deep connection to playing basketball. “I grew up in College Hill and my father put up a basketball hoop and every day, that was the first thing we did.” Dorris then shares that sadly his father passed away on the basketball court when he was very young. “I ran toward the game. The game gave me brothers, the game taught me time management, the game took me to college, the game even gave me a passport and took me all around the world.” Dorris found another way to stay connected to the game he loves. “I work at a school now, I’m the Dean of Students at Cincinnati Achievement Academy and my impact has been fast. I get a trophy every day doing this. To see these kids every day be a little bit better than they were yesterday is literally a championship.” Dorris says Cincinnati had a big impact on his style and his collection of 120 pairs. “From the look of skyscrapers to the concrete that molds us, I dress as a direct reflection of my city. I’m for sure a sneakerhead, I’m part of the original culture at 4am or 5am lined up at a mall for a fresh pair of Jordans. If you ain’t got them, you won’t come to school on Monday. It felt like the whole city was in line, those are my favorite memories for sure.” Next, in episode two, the FOTB crew connects with Brince Etter, a Cincinnati native who’s from the historic neighborhood of East Price Hill and loves midwestern culture, the food and the art scene. Etter is a poet, rapper, director and creative. “A lot of the artists come from the west side of the city, we’re ten minutes from downtown. The culture of hip hop in Cincinnati is very OG hip hop. We have a real love for that, where hip hop comes from and what it has turned into over the years. I started rapping in 2021. When I’m up there I am just inspired by everything. I’m going to the open mikes, getting paid shows here and there. Hip hop is almost like genetic, it’s in your DNA.” “Cincinnati has influenced my fashion for sure. Over the past few years I have become an avid thrift shopper. I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a sneakerhead, but I find it extremely essential to have a dope wardrobe.” “I love sneakers that give me the ability to mix streetwear with business casual articles of clothing. I also like complimenting small parts of shoes with accessories like rings that go with the back tab or a hat that pairs well with the tongue of the sneaker. The Aqua Air Jordan 8’s are by far my favorite sneaker of all time. I love how they have almost a combat boot silhouette that is undeniable.” Previous episodes of FOTB featured St. Louis and Memphis and can be viewed across multiple platforms including; Hibbett.com, Nice Kicks, and on social channels at @CityGear and @NiceKicks. About Hibbett, Inc. Hibbett, headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, is a leading athletic-inspired fashion retailer with 1,148 Hibbett and City Gear specialty stores, located in 36 states nationwide.

New Business Owner Chris Greene Buys Alloy Printing, Opens Minuteman Press Franchise in White Plains, NY

Minuteman Press International Inc

In April of 2023, Chris Greene made the decision to switch gears and become a business owner. That is when Chris purchased over 40-year business Alloy Printing from Mary Jane and Alan Goldman, which is now operating as the new Minuteman Press franchise in White Plains, NY. The business remains located at 190 East Post Rd., White Plains, NY 10601, a 6,000 sq. ft. facility where it has been operating since 1995. Since buying the business, Chris has already hit several key milestones for Minuteman Press in White Plains. He attributes his sales growth to picking up where the previous owners of Alloy Printing left off – by joining local business organizations and maintaining existing client relationships. Chris has also been building on his established client base by marketing additional products and services such as custom branded apparel. History of Alloy Printing Mary Jane Goldman first joined the printing industry in 1979 when she opened a PIP Printing location in Yonkers. She moved the center to its current location at 190 East Post Rd. in 1995, and then eventually transitioned the business to an independent operation, Alloy Printing. Prior to owning the business, Mary Jane worked as a nurse for 11 years before looking for a change. In a previous interview with The Examiner, Mary Jane explained, “My options were open. I was taking a sabbatical. I could always go back to nursing. My parents had friends that were in printing and did very, very well. And I decided that would be a challenge that I would like to take on.” After initially expanding to three locations, the Goldmans decided to focus only on their White Plains location, where they had been residents since 1987. Mary Jane shared, “Sometimes more isn’t always better.” Alan noted, “[White Plains] is the center of the county. It’s the county seat. It’s where all the action is.” During their years in business, Mary Jane and Alan were active in several local groups including the White Plains Downtown Business Improvement District and many more. New owner Chris Greene has followed their lead, saying, “I was just appointed to the Board of the White Plains Downtown Business Improvement District and am also a member of the Business Council of Westchester. I have found these groups to be very beneficial in terms of networking and building/keeping relationships.” One thing that has never changed in over 40 years is the fact that people need and use print. Alan shared with The Examiner, “We’re supposed to be a more paperless society. But we find it’s not a paperless society.” In the interview, he added, “The internet doesn’t serve what we produce. We’re more of a hands-on, come in, sit down, let’s go over it. What can we do? How can we help? How can we both work together to produce what you want and make you successful? Because if you’re successful, we’re successful.” Welcome to Minuteman Press, White Plains Prior to buying the business, Chris Greene worked in corporate advertising, sales, and marketing. Chris shares, “The three biggest reasons I chose to buy Alloy Printing and transition to Minuteman Press are: My desire to be a business owner and move out of the corporate world; I look at the printing industry as an offshoot to what I was doing in my advertising career; The quality of my experience in learning about Minuteman Press and Alloy Printing.” Chris adds, “The training and support from Minuteman Press has been great. The training helped me develop a solid base of knowledge on how to operate a print business. When I’ve needed support in terms of learning or ramping up my marketing, my RVP Jim Galasso and the entire team have been great in giving me direction. It has been a positive experience all the way around.” When reflecting on the first six-plus months, Chris shares, “When I first started, my number one priority was to reassure our existing customer base that the high quality and customer service that they previously had was not going anywhere. As we look towards further growth, the first area we’ve grown from a product standpoint has been apparel, which we are actively marketing.” He adds, “For me, it’s not about being the boss as much as it’s about how I am spending my day. I enjoy giving our customers the products that we make. That the finished products are directly associated with my ownership of the business is very rewarding.” Minuteman Press in White Plains is located at 190 East Post Rd., White Plains, NY 10601.

Visa, Inc. Chairman Al Kelly Asked to Revoke Black Lives Matter Endorsement

NLPC

The following letter was sent today by Peter Flaherty, Chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center, to Alfred F. Kelly, Jr., Executive Chairman of Visa, Inc.: The Visa Inc. website still carries your July 15, 2020, endorsement of Black Lives Matter (BLM). We ask that it be taken down. We raised the issue of your BLM support at the 2023 Visa, Inc. annual meeting, but you ignored us. In the wake of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, BLM has shown its true colors. There is more than one entity that calls itself BLM, but the movement has made it clear where it stands. Please be aware: The Chicago chapter of BLM Grassroots tweeted imagery of a hang glider with a Palestinian flag, captioned “I Stand With Palestine.” Hang gliders were used by Hamas terrorists in the murder and hostage taking of innocent civilians attending the Tribe of Nova music festival. The BLM Grassroots national organization issued a “Statement in Solidarity With the Palestinian People” against the backdrop of the Palestinian flag. It read in part, “When a people have been subject (sic) to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense." BLM Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) co-founder Patrice Cullors, called for an “end of the imperialist project known as Israel” at Harvard Law School in 2015. Additionally, as detailed in a series of Complaints we filed with the Internal Revenue Service, BLMGNF is plagued by high living and self-dealing by its past and present leadership. Cullors, a self-proclaimed Marxist, resigned after we exposed the fact that she owned four homes. In the past, you have been eager to involve Visa, Inc. in controversial issues that have nothing to do with the company’s core business, but you have not yet condemned the Hamas attack or antisemitism. We ask that you do so without further delay. ### Contact Details National Legal and Policy Center Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 drene@nlpc.org Company Website http://www.nlpc.org
