Dear Customers & Partners:
Coinstar, Inc. was founded more than a decade ago with a
simple, yet innovative idea: a self-service machine that turns
coins into cash. Since our inception, we've processed more than
$12 billion dollars in change over 350 million
transactions. Today, Coinstar is a multi-national, multi-product
company with more than 65,000 points of distribution.
Our mission reflects our strategy to deliver new profit to retailers and a range of services to consumers at the front of the store. This mission is to become the world's premier provider of business solutions for the retailer's front end, offering a network of consumer products that are convenient, reliable, safe and fun. Through an innovative spirit and strong company values we continue to deliver on this mission.
As pioneers in self-service coin counting, our service
remains the most popular and widely used in the
country. Beginning in 2003, by leveraging our experience in
self-service coin counting, we broadened our product line and
now offer an array of pay-as-you-go products that are available through major supermarkets, drug stores, convenience stores and other retail locations throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland. In addition, through our entertainment services business, we now add family entertainment that includes skill crane machines, bulk vending and kiddie rides to our 4th WallTM product portfolio.
And we won't stop here. We continue to invest in research and
development and partner with industry leaders to bring the best
products to market that are convenient, easy to use and fun. As
we look ahead, we will stay focused on delighting our customers
and delivering strong business results.
We look forward to serving you in the years to come and
always welcome your input.
Best regards,
Dave Cole
Chief Executive Officer |
