SAN DIEGO, CA, July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Cuba Beverage
Company (Pinksheets: CUBV), a manufacturer and innovator of
all-natural, herbal energy
drinks, announced today it has executed a distribution agreement
with
White Rose, the largest independent wholesale food distributor in
the
New York City and New Jersey metropolitan areas. In
conjunction with
the signing of this agreement, Cuba has shipped product to the White
Rose warehouses.
White Rose is the largest independent wholesale food distributor in
the
New York City and New Jersey metropolitan areas, the largest
consumer
markets in the United
States. White Rose employs approximately 1,200
people and services more than 1500 stores in New York, New

voluntary
cooperatives. Their distribution centers currently stock more

21,000 food and nonfood items.
Alex Procopio, CUBA's CEO, stated, "to say we are excited
about the
signing of a distribution deal with White Rose is an understatement
and
Cuba has reached a watershed
moment in its existence with this
opportunity. White Rose is a significant food wholesaler in
the region
and we are delighted they have agreed to not only distribute,
but
market our product as well. Under the terms of our agreement,
a
portion of the sales price paid to Cuba will be devoted to marketing
and advertising expenditures in the region, which will boost
brand
recognition and hopefully promote awareness and product
recognition.
This is a great moment for Cuba Beverage and its
shareholders."
