SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2003--Leading e-commerce software solution and out source solution provider Pierpoint-Martin (www.pierpoint-martin.com), today announced that it has been selected by BodyBuildingSuperstore.com as its exclusive e-commerce services provider.

Pierpoint-Martin, which runs e-commerce operations for large manufacturers, retailers and media companies including General Nutrition Corp. (GNC) and FitBuy.com, will take over management of the BodyBuildingSuperstore.com site as well as fulfillment and customer service operations.

"BodyBuildingSuperstore.com looked at a variety of e-commerce outsource providers," said Pierpoint-Martin CEO Ed Gaut, "and realized we are the one stop shop for any e-commerce application.
