Hall of Fame Beverages, Inc (HFBG)

[sojourner]

Gyva: Werther's Storck USA has denied any and all knowledge or connection to a "Thomas W. Love." Werther's Storck USA- an old and established, rich, and highly successful family-owned firm- is livid about the use of their good name and the tarnishing of their reputation in the HFB press release. On 25 Jan 2011, Hall of Fame Beverages asserted that Thomas W. Love "spent 15 years in the U.S. beverage and consumer goods industry developing brands as a national product marketing manager for groups such as Stacy's PITA Chips, Werther's Storck U.S.A., Snapple, Vitamin Water and Crossmark to name a few."

The other respected and well-known firms have also been contacted about the Thomas W. Love caper. (Stacy's is owned by Frito-Lay; Snapple is owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group.) It's just a matter of time before another retraction issues from HFB, but this time the SEC will doubtless suspend HFBG and prosecute the responsible parties. HFB has trodden on too many large toes; they are not amused.

"(PINKSHEETS: HFBG) Hall of Fame Beverages, Inc. would like to announce Thomas W. Love, III as the new President & Director of Brand Management & Marketing for the company. Thomas has spent 15 years in the U.S. beverage and consumer goods industry developing brands as a national product marketing manager for groups such as Stacy's PITA Chips, Werther's Storck U.S.A., Snapple, Vitamin Water and Crossmark to name a few. Thomas gained national and retail placements for PitBull Energy Drink & Bar in national club programs, such as 7-Eleven, Walgreen's, McLane and Sysco. Thomas was responsible for increasing the sales of these brands in excess of hundreds of millions of dollars and helped build their companies into desirable investments for buyers in the industry."
