Kona Gold Beverage, Inc. Post Highest November Revenue

Subsidiary Gold Leaf Distribution has another record month


Melbourne, FL, Dec. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kona Gold Beverage, Inc. (OTCQB: KGKG), a holding company focused on product development in the better-for-you and hemp and CBD functional beverage sector, is pleased to announce it has posted the highest November Revenue in Company history.  November revenues increased over 330% compared to the prior-year November, which is a significant increase.  Total Revenues for November were approximately $236,000.

Kona Gold Beverage’s subsidiary, Gold Leaf Distribution, led revenues in November posting another record revenue month with over $183,000 in sales.  Sales for Gold Leaf continue to climb, and the Company expects to see substantial revenue growth as its new Conway, South Carolina distribution center takes root and develops market share in that territory.  Gold Leaf Distribution has seen substantial growth in 2021, with 9 delivery trucks, 10 employees, and nearing profitability.

“I am pleased to announce to our shareholders that the Company continues to hit revenue projections, and we continue to grow, month-over-month,” stated Robert Clark, CEO of Kona Gold Beverage, Inc. “We have already hit our revenue projections for 2021 and our team is currently laying out the groundwork for a successful 2022, where we will see much higher revenue projections and will announce that to shareholders in early January.”

Clark continued, “We anticipate our Gold Leaf operation to grow to approximately $300,000 + in revenue per month in early 2022 as the beverage season goes into full swing and our new Conway, SC branch gets established.  We are seeing exciting developments around our new Sparkling Ooh La Lemin Lemonades and anticipate that brand to have an extremely successful launch early next year.  Along with the rebranding of our Kona Gold Hemp Energy Drinks, which is anticipated to roll out in March of next year, we are planning for a huge Q1 in 2022.”

Kona Gold recently announced it has developed and will be launching a new line of beverages, Ooh La Lemin Sparkling Lemonade, which will launch in early Q1 of 2022.  Ooh La Lemin Sparkling will be produced in 12oz sleek cans; it will be made with all natural ingredients; it is gluten and GMO free; and it has 10 low calories.  Ooh La Lemin Sparkling will be available in six delicious flavors: Blue Raspberry, Citrus Splash, Cucumber Watermelon, Huckleberry, Original, and Pineapple Mango.
