ATLANTA, May 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Edge Technologies Corporation (EEDG) (OTCQB: EEDG), and its subsidiaries, Energy Edge Solutions and The Gourmet Wing Company jointly announced today an exclusive agreement with CRISP Watermelon Drink, LLC for the wholesale distribution of Cu'i (pronounced "swee") a 100% all natural water melon drink throughout the United States. EEDG now plans to create a new distribution division to sell the popular healthy beverage to health clubs, school systems, convenience stores and major retailers in all fifty-states and the District of Columbia.
Cu'i is known in health clubs and high-end restaurants as a healthy, no sugar added beverage that is refreshing and concentrated with A, C and B6 vitamins. Beside numerous restaurants and retailers, Cu'i is presently sold in the Atlanta area Whole Foods locations. The beverage contains all natural ingredients with less than 1/3 the calories and sugar of most popular sports or caffeinated beverages.
"We are extremely excited to have solidified this partnership with CRISP Watermelon Drink, LLC, as we believe we represent the ideal network to take this product to the next level. We are planning a grassroots marketing campaign, starting in Atlanta, as we offer an alternative to sugary carbonated drinks and the popular energy drinks. Cu'i provides the added benefits of natural sweetness, vitamins and antioxidants," said James Boyd, CEO of EEDG. "We want to be a part of the fast growing non-carbonated beverage category with the likes of PepsiCo's Naked Juice brand. In 2011 it is estimated that total LRB (Liquid Refreshment Beverage) volume totaled about 15.2 billion cases." LRBs include bottled water and non-carbonated sports drinks, ready-to-drink teas, juice drinks, etc.
"It was always our plan to continue adding brands to our portfolio to become a meaningful participant in the food and beverage category," added Boyd.
