$MVCO News: Metavesco and Local Choice Spirits Announce Joint Venture to Launch Limited Edition Bourbon Series
CUMMING, GA, Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Metavesco, Inc. (OTC PINK:MVCO) is excited to announce the formation of a joint venture with award-winning Local Choice Spirits to launch a new limited-edition bourbon series at the historic Striped Pig Distillery, Charleston’s first distillery steeped in history back to 1838! The partnership follows an initial Letter of Intent for an acquisition, but market conditions in the over-the-counter (OTC) market have prompted a strategic shift toward this collaborative venture.
In this joint initiative, Metavesco has purchased 8-year-old barreled aged bourbon from Local Choice Spirits, laying the foundation for a premium bourbon line that combines the expertise of both companies. Together, they will develop a unique brand concept, leveraging Local Choice Spirits' acclaimed production capabilities. Additionally, Local Choice Spirits will provide licensing and distribution, enabling swift and efficient entry into key markets.
“We’re excited to shift gears and explore this new partnership with Local Choice Spirits,” said Ryan Schadel, CEO of Metavesco. “The opportunity to collaborate with such a respected name in the spirits industry allows us to introduce a high-quality product to our audience while capitalizing on Local Choice’s distribution expertise.”
Local Choice Spirits, known for crafting award-winning spirits and pushing the boundaries of innovation in the beverage industry, is thrilled to bring their resources and experience to this joint venture.
Paula “Pixie” Dezzutti commented, “The combination of rarity, quality, respect, collaboration, and local craftsmanship creates an attractive opportunity for the passionate MVCO shareholders to tie in with Local Choice’s artisanal narrative leading to future large-scale releases. An 8-year-old bourbon signals commitment to quality, developing complex flavors from the oak barrels marrying into the whiskey. The Metavesco/Local Choice Spirits partnership signals the same commitment to strengthening the bond between these two niche innovators.”
The joint venture is expected to bring this rare, small batch limited-edition bourbon to market before year end, with more details on branding and availability to be released soon.

About Local Choice and Striped Pig Distillery
The award-winning Striped Pig Distillery is a woman-owned, family-run, community-driven business, since 2010 marking its tenure as Charleston’s oldest distillery. Striped Pig helped revive the distillery scene in Charleston when it opened its doors in North Charleston in 2013, becoming the holy city’s first distillery since Prohibition. Its origin story is one of ‘great curiosity’ and a nod to some tongue-in-cheek US history, brought to life by their beloved Striped Pig mascot, Jackson. Since those early days, the Pig has continued its support of the community, expanded its lineup, received numerous accolades and awards, and has kept driving the distillery scene in Charleston and the wider industry forward with firsts, like the Bottled in Bond Bourbon release and launching the first bourbon on the blockchain.
Striped Pig Distillery is located at 2225-A Old School Drive Charleston, SC 29405

The Company plans to launch a new recreation and amusement complex at this site, with commercial operations anticipated to begin in October 2024.
Situated within the Yunhe Sanwan Scenic Spot, which is geographically close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the world's longest man-made waterway, the Plot offers substantial advantages. By securing the land use rights in such a popular tourist attraction of significant historical and cultural importance, as well as a location with high foot traffic, the Company anticipates growth opportunities to be derived from introducing innovative amusement rides to enhance the park's appeal and competitiveness in the market.
This development marks the second collaboration between the Company and Nanping City Dacheng Culture Communication Co., Ltd., ("Dacheng Culture") in co-developing attraction projects.

Under the Agreement, Golden Heaven agrees to lease certain land and property to Dacheng Culture for activities such as wedding photography, traditional costume photography, and various celebratory events. In return, Dacheng Culture agrees to pay to the Company an aggregate lease payment of RMB1.2 million, over the term of the Agreement, which extends from August 19, 2024 to August 18, 2025.
Mr. Jin Xu, CEO and Chairman of the Company, commented, "We are thrilled to have obtained the land use rights for this plot within the Yunhe Sanwan Scenic Spot. Located in a bustling area of Yangzhou with beautiful surroundings and high foot traffic, it is an ideal destination for tourists, families and young couples. Our goal is to create an amusement park that seamlessly integrates entertainment and leisure experiences with a variety of cultural activities."
Mr. Xu added, "The continued partnership with Dacheng Culture is a testament to the win-win alliance between two industry leaders. By synergizing the unique advantages, resources and innovative capabilities of both sides, we will not only enhance the cultural depth and entertainment value of our park but also expand our market influence.

$IDVV News: Winners Waygers AI Powered Sports Handicapping Assistant Launched In Beta
Carlsbad, California--(Newsfile Corp. - August 15, 2024) - International Endeavors Corp. (OTC Pink: IDVV) ("IEC"), a technology holdings company announced that its WITech.ai division launched a one of a kind artificial intelligence (AI) powered sports handicapping assistant today.
We are pleased to announce the launch of winnerswaygers.com in a free beta mode today thus expanding our AI's ability into sports handicapping. IEC's WITech division plans to expand the service quickly into a subscription based model featuring all major sports using the popularity of the NFL football and fantasy betting season as a catalyst to make users aware of the service.
The AI is currently used by professional handicappers that helped to develop the tools and datasets for the AI. WITech is transforming the current complex model into a user friendly service that will appeal to all.
Current plans are to launch in phases starting with a beta mode offering users the ability to sign up for the service for free. Upon the start of the NFL season in September 2024 users will begin receiving handicapping information from the AI to assist in their decision making.
Our goal after beta is to launch our paid subscription service featuring an interactive sports handicapping bot in Mid October 2024 along with an expansion into Hockey and Basketball. We will be offering a discount to any users of the beta version who wish to upgrade at that time.
We are planning in Q4 of 2024 to begin charging $77 per league selected, for example NFL, and will offer an all sports league package for $247 per year/season. As previously indicated there will be a discount for beta members. At that time the beta version will become a free weekly newsletter featuring one pick to allow potential paid subscribers to see how the service works. We have been seeing massive interest in this service and feel we will have thousands of subscribers as the paid service gets rolled out.
Winners Waygers spokesperson Marrion Lewis stated, "We are excited offer the service to the mainstream. For far too long only professionals have had access to the complex data used to make more accurate sports bets. We plan to change the game. The NFL is the most popular sport to bet, so it is fitting to use it for our launch. I'm personally rooting for the chiefs, but we'll let the AI decide."
IDVV board member Ray Valdez stated, "This is the first expansion of the company into adult related, and more importantly recession resilient sectors. With the potential of many thousands of subscribers we are looking forward to discussing winners waygers along with other opportunities the company is pursuing shortly."

$AVRW News: Avenir Wellness Solutions Reports Fourth Quarter 2023 Results
New Initiatives Showing Encouraging Results
SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 17, 2024 / Avenir Wellness Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB:AVRW) ("Avenir" or the "Company"), a proprietary broad platform technology and wellness company, today announced results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2023.
Key financial highlights for the fourth quarter included the following:
Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased to $1.1 million from the same period in 2022 by $0.2 million, or 11.7%, and also increased sequentially from Q3 2023 by $43 thousand, or 4.4%. Overall growth was lower than expected due to the continued delay in receiving the expected remainder of the asset sale proceeds to be used for advertising and marketing to drive sales. The quarter did, however, benefit from a new relationship with leading online and beauty subscription box retailer, FabFitFun.
Gross margin increased 407 basis points year over year in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to improved working capital management offset in part by a higher proportion of sales coming from our wholesale channel of distribution with its lower margins than our higher-margin direct-to-consumer sales channel.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2023 decreased sequentially from the second quarter of 2023 by 26 basis points due to a shift in sales channel mix with a higher proportion of wholesale sales to Amazon and FabFitFun which resulted in shipments of approximately $0.3 million.
Cost containment initiatives led to a favorable impact on SG&A expenses (excluding non-cash charges) for the fourth quarter with a decrease of $357 thousand in 2023 compared to 2022 driven by decreased spend on advertising and promotion of $325 thousand lower overhead by $32 thousand.
Net operating loss from continuing operations (excluding non-cash charges) improved by $0.9 million in 2023.
"Our products continue to maintain sales levels which is encouraging given that we have been unable to fully execute on our marketing initiatives pending receipt of the balance of the proceeds from the July 2022 asset sale. As mentioned in our third quarter earnings announcement, the proceeds from the July 2022 asset sale allow us to invest in the future of the Company, but the delay in receiving the balance of the proceeds continued to have an impact on our operating performance. We expect accelerating sales will reaffirm the improving overall trajectory of the business. Further, our margin expansion initiatives continue to deliver results with improvement from third quarter, and we continue our overall cost containment initiatives to further reduce SG&A expenses and to maximize operating leverage.
Fine tuning our Search Engine Optimization (SEO), bringing our media buying in house and achieving successful monthly campaigns like theSkimm continue to deliver for us as we execute on our strategy to build our brands," said Nancy Duitch, Avenir CEO.
Operational Highlights
Other operational highlights during the fourth quarter of 2023 included:
Our newly formulated Seratopical Revolution Cracked Heel Souffle was selected for inclusion in FatFitFun's Summer 2024 subscription box selling out an astonishing 80,000 units in under 43 minutes. Click link to view Instagram videos on our Cracked Heel Souffle.
Our DNA Complex hero product continues to perform as our subscription based grows.
Wholesale sales led by Amazon continue to grow with all the positive product reviews.
We began development of our new TikTok shop to capitalize on the evolving digital ecommerce landscape which launched in the second quarter of 2024.
