Canada's Largest Sporting Goods Retailer, Forzani Group, Selects GSI for E-Commerce Technology, Fulfillment, Call Center and Interactive Marketing Services

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. , April 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GSI Commerce Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIC), a leading provider of e-commerce and multichannel solutions, today announced its planned expansion into the Canadian market, including the opening of a new fulfillment center and a long-term agreement with one of Canada's leading retailers.

"Establishing a physical presence in Canada with our new fulfillment center will enable us to better serve the country's leading retailers and brands," said Michael G. Rubin , chairman and CEO of GSI. "We currently support clients with solutions that address the special requirements of this marketplace such as multilingual sites and Canadian currency, including Toys "R" Us (www.toysrus.ca)."

The new fulfillment center will be located near Toronto and is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2009. The new fulfillment center is a component of GSI's fiscal year 2009 planned capital expenditure program. The company continues to expect to spend no more than $50 million in capital expenses in the current fiscal year.

GSI also plans to hire local employees to work in the center, which will house fulfillment, customization and potentially customer care services. The combination of these services with the company's robust e-commerce technology, make GSI well-positioned to serve Canadian retailers and international brands that desire a cutting-edge solution to support their e-commerce and multichannel goals.
