KonaRed's President and COO Kyle Redfield commented, "Growth of our shipped sales during the start of 2017 have been impressive and exceeded our internal targets.  We have been rapidly growing our customer base nationwide, and are only at the beginning of major sales increases.  With the customer base we already have coupled with retail commitments set to hit shelves this summer, we are going to continue to experience rapid growth in our sales."

Mr. Redfield continued, "We haven't yet come into the summer months where cold beverage sales spike, so we know the largest sales months are ahead of us.  The Cold Brew Coffee category is primed to have its biggest year yet, and continues to prove out as a major growth trend in food and beverage.  We have now built a consumer base with our award winning RTD cold brew coffee products that has us positioned as a leader in the category.  Overall this is a great time in our company, and we feel confident in our ability to deliver strong results in 2017."
