SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 12, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Rudy Beverage, Inc. (RBI), a portfolio company of Global Beverage Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:GBVS), is pleased to report the exceptional response garnered from its recent appearance at the NACS show in Las Vegas, NV.
The NACS show enabled Rudy Beverage, Inc. to directly communicate with thousands of influential convenience store industry professionals from all across the nation. Despite the oversized gimmicks employed by many of the sugar laden products on display, the straightforward opportunity to speak with Rudy Ruettiger and taste the healthy beverage alternatives offered by Rudy Beverage, Inc. proved sufficient to attract a more than satisfactory percentage of the attendees' attention.
Drew Carver, President of Rudy Beverage, Inc. stated: "The initial reaction of many astute beverage industry professionals upon tasting our products and subsequently reading the nutritional facts label was disbelief. We know of no other beverage that can match our product offering for exceptional taste and nutritional content."
Mr. Carver went on to comment: "We have been experiencing tremendous reception in the northeastern states with regular reorders, ever-increasing market penetration and double digit sales growth. Now, as we prepare to open up sales to the mid-west, the number of retailers eager to carry our products has increased dramatically, due in great part to relationships our team developed at NACS."
