Started off with quick history of company since 2009. Of note, he didn't have relaxation products until a couple years later.
Since 2009 when we first produced the first KOMA UNWIND drinks, we have been steadily gaining traction along with the category itself.
On August 11, 2009, Bebida Beverages Company and its KOMA UNWIND brand announced the final can design and flavors had been chosen and a September full production was immediately scheduled for the brand new "Chillaxation Drink." Upon the purchase of Bebida Beverages, CEO Brian Weber had made early on changes to the product portfolio and the direction of the company for the future growth, prosperity and increased shareholder value.

The leader (TBA in the announcement in 1 to 2 weeks) has in excess of 20 years experience in the beverage industry. Among the 6, there is over 100 years experience in the industry with billions of dollars in sales in China, Japan, Dubai, N Africa, ...(only countries he specifically named). The leader developed beverage sales in 58 countries for his unnamed company. BW is trying to pull off a May 1st kickoff of that Eurasia company (so don't expect PR on it until afterwards...as he did say 1 to 2 weeks from today earlier in the interview).
Walmart Projections and Current Stores Selling Koma Unwind!
Based on Brian's STT Radio Interview....
11:25 minutes into the interview, Brian says we are selling between 500 and 1,000 cans per store per month!
11:45 minutes into the interview, Brian mentions there are 112 Walmart stores selling Koma Unwind.
May 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bebida Beverage Company (OTC markets: BBDA) (BeBevCo), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of liquid relaxation and energy products, announced today that the Company had revenues of $1.6 million and a net income of $507,865 for the first quarter of 2013.
He said that sales and return on sales is are "amazing." 500 to 1000 cans per store per month.
He was asked about being the first relaxation drink to get into Walmart (WM). He said he was introduced to WM last year. The first launch was in 78 SC stores, working under the advice and timelines of WM process (which is lengthy). They made mistakes, but kept correcting along the way, even down to when and where to do "sampling" in the stores...learned alot. WM sets up modulars (permanent shelf space) once per year. Decisions are made in July and implemented in Oct. So KOMA Unwind will be in next implementation to go into 4000 WMs across the country by the end of 2013. He had a meeting with WM in December to review the first launch results and all went great. WM is transitioning Bebida from net 30 payment schedule to "pay on scan" systems that all permanent (annual renewals) products on shelves adhere to. In "high level" mtg he had with WM this past week, KOMA was referred to as the "Golden Child," as first relaxation drink they've carried (is my interpretation) and going into thousands of stores (90% of US stores). He mentioned that some investors understood the trials of starting a business. WM is like turning an aircraft carrier, very slow, but steady.
He said that sales and return on sales is are "amazing." 500 to 1000 cans per store per month. That's 4M cans per month in 4000 stores and $40M annually (must sell to WM for about a buck a can, then WM marks up from there). And that's only this one retailer. Having KOMA in WM will push over into other retailers carrying it.
