KonaRed Cold Brew Coffees Gain Further Traction Through On-Shelf Placements at Kroger Stores Across Western U.S.

KonaRed's President & COO Kyle Redfield commented, "We are thrilled at the market response we have received for our entire Cold Brew Coffee line.  Having the shelf presence in another major retailer like Kroger is a very positive development. We expect this will propel our growth and continue to establish the KonaRed brand as a leader in the RTD Cold Brew Coffee category. Our premium juices have performed well on the Kroger shelves over the past two years and we expect our RTD Cold Brew Coffees will fare even better."

The Company's profile with retailers is also benefiting from its previously announced prestigious BevStar award and continued consumer trial.  The Company's distribution expansion continues as well, with new distribution in the greater New York City area that started already in July.
