Madtony Mr Corr once told me a year ago that Sobe Beverages grew so fasT because they has a 2million dollar cash infusion to get things turbo charged & if you have the best products the company will fizzle if you can't keep them on the shelves. The Lynch deal should close any day & the rest of the 3 million$ will be put to work. This guy Mr Lynch does things big & he is not going to mess around. My understanding is that in the last couple weeks they have been looking at other business to purchase & buying equipment to modernize the brewery. The benefits of having Lynch here are immence & will continue to show up as sales in a bigger & bigger way. How can you call any sales & distribution a negative?
All IMHO

I think RealSoda added E-Water as step 1. Step 2 would be to start distributing other Rush products. According to their website, the only like glass bottle....Agree their website is crap but hopefully they will get the job done....

From the Real Soda web site I gleamed they have over 65,000 feet of warehouse space & over 1000 products they deliver from all ther sub distributors. This looks like a nice addition to me & its new news.

From their site. Less than a year following this, REAL SODA IN REAL BOTTLES had added on a bunch of brands from companies who had not formerly had a distributor in Los Angeles and it was necessary to move to a 6400sqft warehouse in Torrance, CA in 1993. By then REAL SODA IN REAL BOTTLES was in all of the hip coffeehouses in L.A. and delivering to movie studios and the homes of Hollywood actors; also small soda sections were starting to pop up in specialty grocery stores under the care of REAL SODA IN REAL BOTTLES

Once REAL SODA IN REAL BOTTLES was going strong in Los Angeles, it was no longer necessary for Danny to “cold call” potential customers. The word-of-mouth referrals were keeping the growth between 25% and 70% per year, so Real Soda’s main focus was to expand its offerings and to get all of the things that Danny knew of but did not have yet. Danny’s time was best spent dealing with all of the logistics while still providing attentive service to the existing clientele and the referrals and word-of-mouth business.

The expansion into other cities increased the volume of REAL SODA IN REAL BOTTLES so much that it was necessary to move into a much bigger warehouse; now the Real Soda warehouses consist of 10 times the space once in that “big” initial one. In addition to having the most impressive amalgamation of specialty glass-bottled sodas anywhere,
