Aggressive investors and day traders may be watching DC Brands International (Pink Sheets:DCBI) again this morning! Yesterday after the markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing that it has secured another California distributor via a distribution agreement with Central Coast Distributing of Santa Maria, CA.
This could be more great news for investors! Central Coast Distributing has eighteen salespeople servicing better than 1,200 accounts throughout the Central Coast of California. The company is primarily a beer house distributing Coors, Corona, Miller and Sierra Nevada among many others. The team at Central Coast recently parted ways with one of DC Brands International's major competitors out there and they are looking forward to filling in those shelves immediately.
Investors continue to watch this company's progress! Last month the company issued several press releases covering topics such as:
The signing of an extremely aggressive national advertising agreement for 2005 with the world famous "Girls Gone Wild" for a 150-city tour over the next seven months.
Moving its beverage production from outside of Vienna, Austria, to a facility in Wisconsin.
The discontinuation of production of the original 8.4 oz cans and a move to the larger 16 oz. can.
Terms of the company's 2005 retail sales and marketing program.
An exciting new product; five-gallon (Bag-In-The-Box/On-The-Gun) system for on-premise accounts. This was good news! It means that Dickens Energy Cider will now be available on the gun or under pressurized CO2 for all their nightclub, bar and restaurant accounts. It works just like Coke(r), Pepsi(r), or any of the other soft drinks, and the bar owners absolutely love it.
