(OTCQB: OWOO) ("One World") announced that its subsidiary, The One World Doll Project ("OWDP"), has received orders of the The Prettie Girls!™ multi-cultural dolls from ten additional H-E-B Stores (HEB Grocery Company, LP) on the heels of a presentation by One World founder, Trent T.

On May 28th, 2014, Mr. Daniel was invited to the H-E-B Houston Division Offices where he told the story of The One World Doll Project, Stacy McBride-Irby and the creation of The Prettie Girls! doll line. During his presentation, Mr. Daniel told the store managers in attendance, "As we take a look at retail shelves in any major stores across the country, the need for a product like the Prettie Girls! becomes clearly evident and we are excited that H-E-B was the first major store chain to offer The Prettie Girls! multi-cultural dolls to their customers."
Mr. Daniel also noted, "… it seems like almost every day that we are getting feedback from mothers who are elated that a doll company is finally offering them what they have been wanting for so long. We plan to continue to build and develop The Prettie Girls! brand into a product line that store managers just like you can be very pleased and proud to have on your shelves."
"As we begin to look toward this holiday season, it is exciting to see the demand for the Prettie Girls! dolls continue to increase," stated Joanne Melton, CEO of One World. "We believe the orders from these ten additional stores represents the faith H-E-B has in the viability and value of our brand. Among our desire to produce a great product that can avail us to financial success we also are focused on the altruistic endeavor to teach little girls throughout the world to embrace diversity and love their individual 'Prettie' and H-E-B was the perfect place to start."
Ms. Melton concluded, "By having The Prettie Girls! dolls on the shelves of a major regional big box chain like H-E-B and others soon to be announced, the stage is now set for what we believe will be a very strong holiday retail season."
In anticipation of the 2014 holiday season, One World has already placed a significantly lager production order to bring inventory levels of The Prettie Girls! up 75,000 units -- including three new dolls, Dahlia (South Asian), Kimani (African) and Alexie (Caucasian).
