New York, New York, Aug 29, 2001 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- Aqua
Vie Beverage Corporation announced that its Hydrator(TM) water beverage product
line has been authorized for 5,000 stores and approved for cold-box placement in
approximately 3,000 7-Eleven stores throughout North America. Distribution will
be through the McLane distribution network. In conjunction with this product
placement, Aqua Vie and 7-Eleven will join forces to sponsor the Foyt NASCAR
racing team.

"As a result of its cooperation with America's premier C-store chain, Aqua Vie
will become part of a giant marketing matrix reaching consumers across an entire
continent, and around the world," said Thomas Gillespie, president and chief
executive officer.

The 7-Eleven product placement follows Aqua Vie's new production agreement,
geared to high-volume production, which was announced last week. 7-Eleven stores
throughout the United States and Canada serve more than 6 million customers per
day.

Founded in 1927 in Dallas, Texas, 7-Eleven is the world's largest operator,
franchisor and licensor of convenience stores with more than 21,000 units
worldwide. 7-Eleven is also one of the nation's largest independent gasoline
retailers. Its corporate name was changed from The Southland Corporation after
approval by shareholders on April 28, 1999.
