The Marketing Alliance, Inc. (OTC: MAAL) (“TMA”), a provider of services and distributor of products to independent insurance agencies throughout the United States, today announced the acquisition of the assets of two children’s party and entertainment facilities and related franchise rights in the St. Louis area.

These facilities operate under the franchise name “Monkey Joe’s”. The Company expects to begin including the results of operations of these two facilities in its financial statements beginning with the current fiscal 2013 second quarter ending September 30, 2012.

Timothy M. Klusas, TMA’s President stated, “We continue to seek opportunities that could expand our cash generating potential, while trying to align our Company with good operating teams. Our objective is to put our shareholder’s capital to work in situations that could offer attractive returns and additional free cash flow for shareholders. We do not see this investment inhibiting existing operations in any way, but rather has the potential to independently generate additional capital to pursue attractive opportunities and projects. We are also excited to be in business alongside the operating managers and employees that will continue to remain and work with our team to expand those locations.”
