Cool Holdings is a Miami-based company focused on premium retail brands, reselling Apple's products.

Cool Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:AWSM), the company which is one of the biggest resellers of Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) products, announced on Tuesday a plan to expand the number of its stores to around 200 by 2021.

"Our plan is to aggressively grow our store footprint from 17 stores today to approximately 200 stores by 2021, provided we can arrange the proper funding," said Felipe Rezk, the company's chief sales and marketing officer.

This will be done through a combination of organic growth, the development of their own stores and acquisition of Apple retailers across the Americas, he added.

Shares of the company swung wildly on Tuesday, hitting a session peak at US$7.10, and then falling to the session low of US$5.50, down 22% by midsession.

The company's Cooltech Distribution unit serves as both an internal supply partner to all of its OneClick stores, as well as a supplier to other Apple and big box retailers.
