All Managers

All Managers,

Because of current global economy challenges, changes in market spending habits, but most of
all taking into consideration Quick-Mart’s cash-flow, and employee needs, effectivelyJanuary 1,
2010, all Quick-Marts will post new hours of operations. The changes are as followed and affect
all stores: all Quick-Mart stores will stay closed on Sunday’s, and Monday through Saturdayreflecting reduced hours of operations; opening 1-hour later and closing 1-Hour earlier. Please
express to all Quick-Mart employees that no stores will close, but Quick-Mart store expansion willhalt until the economy strengthens. Please contact HR immediately to understand how the
changes will affect individual employee’s work schedules.

Though it hurts me to make such drastic changes inQuick-Marts 50-Year history, I feel the
changes will greatly reduce expenditures and thus save jobs.
Please do not hesitate contacting me back with any questions concerning the matter.

Kindestregards
MHS
CEO/ President of Operations
Quick-Mart, Inc.
