This is what Village Tea company's CEO has to say about SODEXO's deal:
Martin Ekechukwu, CEO of Village Tea Company (subsidiary of $ABVG) "And to celebrate, today we have signed the biggest contract of our lives with Sodexo where @villageteaco will be distributed nationally and internationally in thousands of food service locations like college campuses, especially HBCU's where we are dedicated to supporting health and wellness trends of people of color, restaurants, bars, hotels, embassies, stadiums, your mom's cabinet and your local bodega's"

Food service has become an increasingly important channel for natural food startups, which Velez says companies like Sodexo view “as the future.” Sodexo in 2014 said it would purchase $1 billion in products and services over three years from small- and medium-sized enterprises; its other small partners include Paleo baked goods company Base Culture, Village Tea Company, and Gavina Coffee Company.

In 2010, SODEXO was serving 1 Billion hot beverages, or 10,000 tons of coffee and tea annually. That number would have grown much higher by now(in 7 years).
Just a guess, but if we assume 10% of that 1B hot beverages is tea, we are looking at 100M TEA beverages every year. If ABVG(Village Tea) becomes the tea supplier for SODEXO, we are looking at hundreds of millions in revenues just from SODEXO.
In 2010, Sodexo's Group Marketing Director said in a statement. "At present, we serve nearly one billion hot beverages, or 10,000 tons of coffee and tea annually and we would like to continue develop this offer in the future." http://www.greenbiz.com/news/2010/06/23/sodexo-boosts-green-purchasing-goals-coffee-tea-additions
Sodexo has entrusted ABVG to lead the eatery at NAU. The NAU eatery is carrying all Village Tea products, Undone chocolate products and the JAWEA ice cream products. That shows tremendous confidence by the "World's 19th largest company" on a small OTC stock company. SODEXO is so secure about it's brand value and growth under ABVG leadership. That speaks volumes to me.
