- Our updates on all matters in works and completed will always seek to focus on long-term events and will be reported on through our social media unless large enough to justify an actual press release

- In addition to expanding national sales efforts out of the Company’s HQ in Titusville, FL, a prominent local sales agent in Japan will be presenting the 8-ounce cans in all flavors of 100% Juice, Apple, Black Cherry, Blueberry, and Pomegranate, for sales in in over 25,000 retail stores in Japan. There are 16,000 7-11s in Japan and the pricing has been determined in anticipation of the Japanese demand for Products made in the USA. Plans are to bottle international products in Florida. A similar effort will follow with South Korea and Vietnam once shipments begin. Tony said, “our contacts in Japan are very prominent in the industry, including the former President of Tropicana, and these knowledgeable industry leaders are equally excited about this ongoing project which has taken me time to plan. Logistics take time around the world, pricing, product safety and labeling required attention, but I want to say that all over the seltzer-juice and seltzer-alcohol markets worldwide are ballooning before our eyes, there 28,000-plus private outlets in Japan identified where sales will be sought even though we are only at the stage where samples have arrived in Japan. “Presentations of our products there are beginning. Watch for future reports on Twitter, and so please remain patient. I know some will say do better but at home, we see Canada, the Middle East and Japan as places where premium US goods favor the Company. Summer heat will drive sales and keep Ronnda hopping. And we hope to have big US news soon, too.”
- Previously it was announced that under the tentative trade name "Hard Rush," new markets would fuel the company. The Company's ownership transfer to Southern Eagle, Champagne Beverage, and North Florida Sales, named previously, has been questioned, but it will become clear as soon sales of our new alcoholic beverage products will make up a significant share of the projected $100,000,000.00 in annual sales projected pro forma. “The update on this line is that we have made a deal in principal to secure the trademark Hard Rush and we have completed all paperwork needed, all testing, all formula, and production planning for the brewery run,” Tony exclaims. The Company will move on Hard Rush as soon as we have all matters finalized and be assured that we will be hiring help as required. “Creating new jobs!” We have been working hard and know that organizational changes and expansion is part of 2019 for us. Tony concludes, “We have worked to keep expenses down, while working smart and prioritizing the mix of profitable lines planned to move this company far beyond even my initial desires,”
- Another matter to be finalized by the Company first is the termination of shares, which are above the allowed medallion levels, and so the plane tickets are purchased and the closing is scheduled for in person transfer of shares. The efforts continue to bring down the share while the market value of this company meets and exceeds its potential. There is no reason to increase expense and expand before all foundation steps are completed. (We have made great strides and again, great gratitude goes out to Mr. Corr from whom we still plan to finalize the acquisition of not only Hard Rush, but Ginseng Rush and other important marks.)
