Koios Beverage Corp (FITSF)

[GringoLocoNY]

Drug Emporium was originally founded in 1977 in Columbus, Ohio, and in the late 1990s had more than 140 company-owned stores under the banners Drug Emporium, F&M Super Drug Stores, and Vix Drug Stores, in addition to 50 franchised stores. In 1997, Drug Emporium was set to become the first drug store on the Internet, with integration into its retail operations and licenses to fill prescriptions in all 50 states1. After falling into bankruptcy in 20012, Drug Emporium was reopened in 2019 and sought to gain a competitive advantage by carrying a unique product selection heavily influenced by requests from customers3. In addition to standard pharmacy departments (e.g., medical, cosmetics, health foods), Drug Emporium locations feature “store-within-a-store” sections including Vitamins Plus, where KOIOS™ and Fit Soda™ beverages are to be merchandised.
