Splash Beverage
Group Announces Agreement with UNFI to Distribute TapouT Through
Southeastern Grocers, Inc. Across Five Southeastern U.S.
States
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, July 21, 2022 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Splash
Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE American: SBEV) ("Splash" or the "Company"), a portfolio
company of leading beverage brands, today announced that it has
signed a distribution agreement with United Natural Foods "UNFI" to
distribute TapouT Performance drinks through Southeastern Grocer's
515 Winn Dixie stores located throughout the southeastern United
States and other areas where TapouT does not have Direct Store
Distribution (DSD) coverage.
UNFI is the largest publicly traded wholesale
distributor delivering healthier food options to people throughout
the United States and Canada. UNFI distributes to over 250,000 natural,
organic and conventional products to more than 30,000 customers
including natural product superstores, independent retailers,
conventional supermarket chains, ecommerce retailers and food
service industry.
"We are absolutely thrilled to
have reached an agreement with UNFI to distribute TapouT through
its network.
UNFI's authorization of TapouT is
a testament to its all-natural ingredients and clean
label.
UNFI maintains high standards
resulting from their massive natural-foods customer
base.
The initial 515 Winn Dixie stores
represent a significant increase in our distribution reach and
opens the door to significantly more UNFI locations, both natural
grocery chains and traditional retail locations. This provides needed incremental distribution
coverage to the DSD network we're building throughout the
US. This is a major milestone in our strategic
growth plan and gives us an advantage over the competition as we
can now start to penetrate the natural food channel in
earnest."
