The agreement marks yet another relationship with a major beverage supplier announced by Innovative Beverage in the past few weeks. Volunteer Distributing Company’s existing relationships with an extensive network of retailers, including leading grocery chains and convenience stores, will ensure that drank™ is made widely available to consumers in the region.

“drank™ is such a unique product that’s currently not being sold in our area, so we think this is the perfect opportunity for us to expand our non-alcohol section, by introducing this hot new product to our consumers,” said Randy Gregory, General Manager of Volunteer Distributing Company.  “This Extreme Relaxation™ beverage has caused a real buzz amongst distributors and thirsty consumers alike. By stocking this industry leading product, we hope that we can help our customers relax by putting drank™ into the hands of consumers throughout the western Tennessee region.”

“We’re floored to have drank™ on shelves next to incredibly successful and well-known beverages, like Budweiser®, Yuengling®, Fat Tire®, and Magic Hat®,” said Peter Bianchi, CEO of Innovative Beverage Group. “It’s thrilling to have Volunteer Distributing Company think so highly of drank™ and want to place it on store shelves within their distribution area as a leading non-alcohol alternative.  Adding our Extreme Relaxation™ beverage onto the list of products provided by such a well-known distributor really helps to validate our reason for pioneering this exciting new category of beverages.”

drank™ is the antithesis of the herd of energy drinks crowding the functional beverage sector. With a slogan of “slow your roll™,” this lightly carbonated relaxation beverage is infused with melatonin, valerian root and rose hips to provide a relaxing effect for consumers. Since launching drank™ in select markets in early 2008, it has quickly become the go-to beverage for people looking to relax their mind and body.

Volunteer Distributing Company joins an extensive and growing roster of regional distributors that have added drank™  to their New Age beverage lineup.  For more information about drank™, please visit: www.drankbeverage.com, call 877-DRANK-02 or follow the brand on Twitter - www.twitter.com/slowyourroll.  To reach Volunteer Distributing Company, please call (731) 364- 2111.
