Hall of Fame Beverages, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HFBG) CEO Steve Hendricks
announces the shipment of Grand Ma Ma's Sweet Southern Tea is on
its way to New York. Elmira Distribution in Elmira, New York will
soon be receiving two container trucks of the company's product.
Each container carries 2100 cases of tea.
In addition, Hendricks announces Specialty Foods Group in Long
Island, New York, will be responsible for servicing all of Hall of
Fame's products in 7-Eleven stores, King Kullen Supermarkets,
Waldbaums Supermarkets, Safeway Stores, and Key Foods stores among
other accounts on Long Island. Specialty Foods Group will be
receiving more than 2100 cases of the company's product.
Steve Hendricks and Louis Restivo are feverishly placing the
product in the distribution network between Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, including the Scranton, Wilkes-Barre,
Altoona, and Erie markets. The company will be using L A May
Distributing in Central Pennsylvania and Larry Myers will be
receiving more than 2100 cases of the product to put on shelves
immediately upon arrival.
Hendricks and Restivo are developing the entire New England
area, New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic states. Hendricks says he's
ready to get products on the shelves immediately: "We are working
hard to put this product in every state, and I am structuring this
company to go national." Restivo added, "I will be there every step
of the way, and we will brand this product nationally."
Both Hendricks and Restivo said the demand for Grand Ma Ma's
Sweet Southern Tea has pushed the company to make the decision that
the tea will be the company's main focus in the months to come. A
new flavor of tea, Sweet Summer Peach, is already being readied for
production. More than 300,000 bottles of the Sweet Summer Peach, an
all natural, black tea, have been ordered and are ready for
production in the company's second production run of the tea
brands.
Atomic Dogg Super Soda will be produced when the company meets
the demand for the tea. Former NBA player, and the man behind the
character Grand Ma Ma, Larry Johnson said, "The tea is in demand
right now and it's a ready-made marketing campaign, so it makes
sense to focus on our strength right now."
Johnson and company executives are currently meeting in Las
Vegas, Nevada, to finalize a deal with a major casino chain that
has casinos in Las Vegas and many other areas around the country to
carry the sweet tea products. Pricing and a marketing campaign are
being negotiated before the casino takes the product. Johnson said,
"Grand Ma Ma's Sweet Southern Tea is a natural fit in Las Vegas.
This is where I got my start, and I came back here to get my degree
and stayed, so I would love to make this work in Vegas."
The company also announces that it has paid Slappy Studios to
put together an animated television commercial campaign featuring
Grand Ma Ma. Slappy Studios worked on the Transformer films, and
will be animating Grand Ma Ma in a 30-second television commercial
that will air on ESPN, MTV, and BET, among other major networks.
The studio has developed the animated commercial and is currently
working to finish the project. Larry Johnson will be in Los
Angeles, California, later this week to do the voice work for his
Grand Ma Ma character. Johnson has done work with Coca-Cola,
McDonald's, And1, Converse and many other brands and helped to
generate hundreds of millions of dollars in sales revenue.
