WESTMINSTER, Colo., Jan. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Monarch America Inc. (OTCQB: BTFL) ("Monarch America" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has completed the acquisition of The Big Tomato, an established Denver area store, warehouse distribution facility, and hydroponics and indoor garden supplier.  Following the completion of the merger agreement, The Big Tomato, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monarch America, Inc.

"The successful completion of The Big Tomato acquisition is an important milestone for the Company and for all its stakeholders," stated Eric Hagen, CEO of Monarch America Inc.  "The Big Tomato's established operations, recognized brand, and well-respected team of experts will each play key roles in our focused growth strategy going-forward."

"With the acquisition complete, we can move ahead with our plans to expand The Big Tomato brick-and-mortar operations into other Colorado areas and also into other U.S. states that have demonstrated growing demand for hydroponics and indoor garden products, services, and technical expertise.  Possible areas in Colorado, California, Oregon, and Florida are being considered for potential future The Big Tomato brick-and-mortar location development."

Hagen concluded, "The potential benefits and synergies created by this acquisition extend far beyond the expansion of The Big Tomato business into new territories, but also provides us with a platform to identify new products and opportunities, launch new and existing Monarch America brand retail and commercial products, and accelerate our property development, management, and consulting services division into many new possible areas.  I look forward to working with The Big Tomato team to advance all of these corporate objectives in the near future."
