NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - 07/15/10) - Hall of Fame Beverages, Inc. (Pinksheets:HFBG - News) announces Louis Restivo of Biago Cru is working with Hall of Fame Beverages president Calvin Ross, and former NBA player Larry Johnson to nationally brand, distribute and market the company's products using an extensive national distribution network in the US and Canada. Calvin Ross says, "This relationship allows us to piggy-back off of the years and years of work done by Louis Restivo to build this impressive network and essentially move to the head of the line when it comes to getting our products placed in stores."
Louis Restivo has been in the food and beverage industry since 1961 and has successfully helped to develop multiple brands. Over the years, many companies have approached Restivo to help place and develop their products. "I have been selective in the products I'll represent, and Hall of Fame Beverages captured my attention. I Chose to work with Hall of Fame because they have quality brands, and Grand Ma Ma's Sweet Southern Tea tastes as if it were home brewed. Their other products have a great taste profile towards the US market and it's a real company developing real products."
Restivo, Ross and Johnson plan to put the company's products into the mainstream marketplace, the military, airlines, box stores like BJ's Wholesale Club, Cosco, and Sam's, as well as supermarkets and convenience stores across the country. Restivo says, "We're totally committed to developing this brand in the US and Canada and then looking to expand into the European market." Ross added, "We will use Louis' relationships and contacts over the years to place our products in extensive locations it would have taken us years and many thousands of dollars to develop."
Louis Restivo will be joining Hall of Fame's Board, and he will work alongside Calvin Ross to help guide the company in a profitable direction and generate revenue.
Hall of Fame Beverage's anchor brand Atomic Dogg Super Soda and its newest brand Grand Ma Ma's Sweet Southern Tea will go from the manufacturer to a distributor or wholesaler and then taken to supermarkets, convenience stores, box stores and other entities and then sold to the public.
