ATLANTA, May 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Edge
Technologies Corporation (EEDG) (OTCQB: EEDG), and its
subsidiaries, Energy Edge Solutions and The Gourmet Wing Company
jointly announced today an exclusive agreement with CRISP
Watermelon Drink, LLC for the wholesale distribution of Cu'i
(pronounced "swee") a 100% all natural water melon drink throughout
the United States. EEDG now plans to create a new
distribution division to sell the popular healthy beverage to
health clubs, school systems, convenience stores and major
retailers in all fifty-states and the District of Columbia.
Cu'i is known in health clubs and high-end restaurants as a
healthy, no sugar added beverage that is refreshing and
concentrated with A, C and B6 vitamins. Beside numerous restaurants
and retailers, Cu'i is presently sold in the Atlanta area Whole Foods locations. The
beverage contains all natural ingredients with less than 1/3 the
calories and sugar of most popular sports or caffeinated
beverages.
"We are extremely excited to have solidified this partnership
with CRISP Watermelon Drink, LLC, as we believe we represent the
ideal network to take this product to the next level. We are
planning a grassroots marketing campaign, starting in Atlanta, as we offer an alternative to sugary
carbonated drinks and the popular energy drinks. Cu'i
provides the added benefits of natural sweetness, vitamins and
antioxidants," said James Boyd, CEO
of EEDG. "We want to be a part of the fast growing non-carbonated
beverage category with the likes of PepsiCo's Naked Juice brand. In
2011 it is estimated that total LRB (Liquid Refreshment Beverage)
volume totaled about 15.2 billion cases." LRBs include bottled
water and non-carbonated sports drinks, ready-to-drink teas, juice
drinks, etc.
"It was always our plan to continue adding brands to our
portfolio to become a meaningful participant in the food and
beverage category," added Boyd.
