Legends Foods Corporation Board of Directors announced that at a
board meeting on September 28th, a proposal from President &
CEO Laurence Briggs to change the name Legends Foods Corporation
(PINKSHEETS: LJWY) to Republic of Texas Brands Incorporated was
approved. The name change was ratified by shareholders representing
a majority of the Company's common stockholders. A CUSIP and symbol
change will follow.
In addition to the name change, the last two weeks of September
yielded positive results for Republic of Texas Brands Incorporated.
The Company acquired the prestigious domain name
www.republicoftexas.com, giving them an exceptional domain from
which to launch operations. The Company also received confirmation
from their trademark attorneys that the brand including the Texas
battle flag was accepted for trademark.
Mr. Briggs stated, "The name change represents the identity of
our operational brands and ability to broaden the Company's
activities into licensing of this prestigious brand throughout the
world. These two events are huge in the effect on the potential to
license the brand in other areas outside our expertise or where
there is an appropriate market."
In order to ensure the Company has all of the proper
Trademarks/Intellectual Property rights, Republic of Texas Brands
Incorporated and/or its subsidiaries have recently filed the
following trademarks using its unique logo: Republic of Texas Food
Company, Republic of Texas Chocolate factory, Republic of Texas
Apparel Company and Republic of Texas Brands.
The launch of the Republic of Texas Food Company will take place
this first week of October with the rollout of the eCommerce sites.
The first site, www.MamaRosaTamales.com went live Monday, October
3rd. The Corporate gift catalog and retail and merchandising will
follow this week.
The agreement to acquire Mary of Puddin Hill has technically
expired and is currently being reworked between the owners of MPH
and the Republic of Texas Food Company executive management
team.
