Purple Beverage Company Expands Distribution of its Powerful Antioxidant Beverage
Atlas Distributing to Offer Purple in Central Massachusetts
Posted on Thu, May. 08, 2008
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. --
Purple Beverage Company, Inc. (OTCBB: PPBV), today announced that
Atlas Distributing of Auburn, MA, has agreed to distribute the
company's signature antioxidant beverage, Purple, throughout its
Massachusetts coverage area.
"Having recently expanded our New England distribution to Northern
Connecticut and Rhode Island, we were looking for a distributor to
round out our coverage in the region," said Ted Farnsworth, Founder
and CEO of Purple Beverage Company. "As a leading beverage
distributor, Atlas was the logical choice as it has the relationships
in place to bring Purple to key audiences in the region. Coupled with
a growing presence in other areas of the Northeast and nationally,
this additional distribution brings Purple one step closer to our goal
of becoming the next national beverage brand."
"We've noticed dramatic growth in the market for healthier
beverages and look forward to adding Purple - with its seven powerful
antioxidants - to our lineup," said Joe Salois, President of Atlas
Distributing, Inc. "Purple has already gained popularity in other
areas of the Northeast, so we are confident that the product will also
be well-received in our market."
Atlas Distributing provides well-known brands, including
Snapple(R), Stewart's(R), Red Bull (R), Function Drinks (R) and Muscle
Milk(R), to supermarkets, convenience stores, delis and mass
merchandisers throughout Central Massachusetts.
Introduced in late 2007, Purple is a unique and tasty blend of
seven of the world's most powerful antioxidant-rich juices, including
the exotic acai berry, black cherry, pomegranate, black currant,
purple plum, cranberry and blueberry. The health benefits of these
juices are packed into an all-natural, no-sugar added beverage that is
perfect as an on-the-go drink or as part of a healthy fruit smoothie.
Since debuting in late 2007, Purple has been praised by such
high-profile publications as Health Magazine and Family Circle and has
appeared on ABC-TV's "The View."
In addition, nightclubs and lounges are finding Purple to be one
of the trendier antioxidant cocktail choices, as adding alcohol to
antioxidant-rich berries increases the power of the antioxidants, a
fact confirmed in studies by researchers from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and by a study at Kasetsart University in Thailand.
Purple can be found in select GNC stores across the country and
online at www.gnc.com, as well as in various restaurants, bars,
nightclubs, delis, drug stores, health food stores, supermarkets and
convenience stores. For more information, visit www.drinkpurple.com.
