DENVER and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: FIT; OTC: FITSF) (the "Company" or "Koios") is elated to announce the successful expansion of Fit Soda™ into an additional 300 convenience store locations in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia, significantly increasing its presence in the market. With the inclusion of 300 more stores, Fit Soda™ is now proudly stocked in over 600 Circle K locations nationwide, demonstrating the successful growth and acceptance of Fit Soda™ within the Circle K community.

Fit Soda™ continues its forward momentum with new placement in several Circle K stores, enhancing the brand's footprint and availability to consumers. The beverage, known for its blend of tantalizing flavors and nutritional benefits, will now be even more accessible to the public.

Circle K, a giant in the convenience retail industry with a 70-year history of quality and service, has again chosen to increase their range of Fit Soda™ products.

The expansion into these additional stores demonstrates the enduring partnership between Koios and Circle K, a relationship that has already seen Fit Soda™ be made available in 343 Circle K locations across Colorado, Texas and New Mexico.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to deepen our relationship with Circle K. Expanding our reach through an additional 300 stores not only broadens our consumer base but also furthers our mission to offer healthier, flavorful soda alternatives to as many people as possible," said Chris Miller, CEO of the Company.

This strategic expansion into the convenience store market has placed Fit Soda™ on a promising path towards increased brand recognition and growth. The brand's unique positioning offers consumers a better-for-you soda option without compromising on taste, a strategy that has seen it go toe-to-toe with other beverage titans in the market.

Fit Soda™ is available in a diverse range of all-natural flavors, which are free from preservatives, artificial flavors and colors. Notably, Fit Soda™ contains BCAA's (branch chain amino acids) and electrolytes, which support post-workout recovery.
