MEDIA ALERT / PHOTO OP

Furniture & ApplianceMart named the central Wisconsin location for Hitachi’s North American interactive mobile unit tour

WHAT:

Hitachi America announced plans to include Furniture & ApplianceMart in their “Thin Is In Motion” mobile truck tour this Saturday, March 8 in Wausau and Plover. The hands-on experience has been created to unveil Hitachi’s highly anticipated Ultra Thin Line.

While the Ultra Thin line will not be available in stores until later this spring, through the planned stop at Furniture & ApplianceMart, central Wisconsin residents will be able to experience the new technology now. These “experiential” mobile showcases are an ideal way for Hitachi to showcase the sleek, slim design of the new 1.5 family of LCDs. Visitors will be able to see the waiflike profile and elegant design, experiencing first-hand Hitachi’s breakthrough technology which creates a visual and “sound-sational” experience unlike that of any other HDTV on the market.

Furniture & ApplianceMart was selected for this stop because of their knowledgeable professionals and ability to effectively educate consumers on new technologies like Hitachi’s Ultra Thin HDTVs.

WHEN:

THIS SATURDAY, March 8
Wausau (9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.) and Plover (1:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.)
