DENVER, July 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Pulse Beverage Corporation ("Pulse") (OTCQB:PLSB) announced today that it has signed on KeHE Distributors to provide national distribution coverage for their Natural Cabana® Coconut Water, Lemonades and Limeades.
Starting in July 2017, Pulse has delivered their products to KeHE’s Dallas, Texas distribution facility and used KeHE Distributors to provide Pulse products to Texas based grocery stores and chains. Pulse’s products will be offered to consumers shopping at Safeway/Tom Thumb and United Grocers just in time for the seasonally strong summer beverage selling season in Texas.
In the near future, Pulse will be delivering their beverage products to KeHE’s distribution facilities in California. KeHE has 17 distribution facilities in the North America and utilizes over 470 trucks with daily routes that service half of the top 100 retailers from coast to coast. They currently provide brands and service to over 30,000 retailers across North America.
Robert Yates, CEO of Pulse, said, “We are very pleased to partner with this prestigious grocery distributor, KeHE Distributors who has a stellar reputation for bringing quality natural brands to their customers throughout North America. KeHE will soon be stocking our beverages in all of their distribution facilities. We started in Dallas and will move forward in California shortly thereafter. We would expect KeHE to be distributing our products in all 17 North American geographies within 6 months.”
Robert Yates also said, “KeHE is a world class distribution operation and allows us to offer consumers our Pulse Natural Cabana® Coconut Water, Lemonades and Limeades in grocery stores across North America. KeHE provides us with the ability to secure national accounts because there will be no "holes" in our distribution channel. As a result of this new distribution arrangement, we are shipping an incremental 5% additional cases per month in the near term and expect to ship an incremental 15% additional cases per month within 6 months.”
The Company plans use its new relationship with KeHE as a springboard to attract the interest of and close sales with additional regional and national grocery chains that are interested in carrying Pulse Natural Cabana® but can’t get the product delivered to their shelves by other means.
