IRVINE, Calif., May 25, 2006 – Ritz Interactive, Inc., the e-commerce network that includes RitzCamera.com, WolfCamera.com, BoatersWorld.com and other leading online-shopping sites, reported a 15.7% increase in merchandise revenue for the first quarter of 2006 over the same period last year. First quarter merchandise revenue grew to $20.1 million in 2006, compared to $17.3 million during the first three months of 2005.
