Dylan Jones, Jones Digital Media

It took several years,  thousands of  man hours and no doubt much tearing out of hair by President Richard Fisher, but it appears PRN have finally signed up a brand new retailer; BJ’s Wholesale Club, a kind of east coast version of Costco. They have signed a multi-year deal with PRN to supply high definition […]
