Calorie Burning Celsius Rolling Out in 41 Additional Counties
DELRAY BEACH, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--May 16, 2008 -- Celsius Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB: CSUH.OB) announced today their distribution partnership with Griffin Beverage Company. Celsius®, the original, great tasting calorie burner, a healthier choice that has been clinically tested and shown to burn calories by raising metabolism for over a 3 hour period, is completing its distribution coverage for the state of Michigan.
Griffin Beverage is a beverage wholesaler that covers much of Michigan with a broad range of products from beer, wines, liquor, soft drinks and chips with such brands as Anheuser Busch, Corona, Heineken, Smirnoff, Red Bull, Jones Soda, and Bacardi that has served its market since 1967.
"Celsius is a great addition to our portfolio for several reasons. The first is that in addition to the retailers in the drug and grocery channels such as Walgreens and Meijers, we have already added over 200 independent retailers. The fact that Celsius contains so many of the nutritional ingredients people are looking for today, without the calories, it has helped us add new accounts and channels previously untapped by us. For example: We have already added close to 50 new accounts in the health & fitness channel and the sales remain strong. Another reason is because of the way we were able to roll it out. Celsius was already planned into some of our larger chains so we started there and that gave us a head start to really understand the brand and its value proposition before we launched into our independent accounts. Our sales representatives' enthusiasm and confidence grew as they saw the sales increasing in the initial accounts such as Walgreens. Celsius also fits well among the wide range of quality beverage choices we supply throughout our distribution territory and we believe as the leader and creator of the calorie burning category, Celsius, is a winner," said Brian Mueller, Director of Sales and Marketing.
Dick McGee, COO of Celsius, added, "Griffin has become a solid partner. Having such an established beverage distributor with broad coverage, along with our other Michigan distributors, helps us add key retailers throughout the region. Griffin is an important part of our key account DSD strategy."
