DOLTON, Ill., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple Rush Co., Inc. (Pink Sheets: APRU) and Apple Rush Maui, LLC, the California and Hawaii licensee for Apple Rush Company's Brand of Organic Sparkling juices, has just received confirmation from the corporate offices of the Robeks juice shop chain ( http://www.robeks.com/ ), that Apple Rush has now become an approved product for its Western U.S. Division stores. This approval gives Apple Rush the opportunity to distribute its products to all 100 stores, including stores located in the states of; California, Arizona, and Washington. Apple Rush was originally placed in Robeks San Diego stores, where it out sold all other beverages in the "grab and go" cases by a margin of 5-1. This dramatic sales performance led to the escalated approval process by Robeks corporate office. Apple Rush's Sparkling Organic juices are a great addition to the Robeks offerings which include healthy meals and a selection of premium smoothies, juices, sandwiches and snacks. According to Stewart Cohen, Apple Rush Maui, LLC's President, "We are very pleased with this news regarding the popular Robeks chain. We are not completely surprised by this development as our product sales in both retail and foodservice locations have dramatically increased in the San Diego area in a very short period of time. Our sales representatives are currently expanding their efforts in Orange County, L.A. County and the Inland Empire markets where we believe we will also find success." Based on the overall and recent success that Apple Rush Maui has experienced with the sales of Apple Rush in its present territory, it has decided to exercise its right to secure additional territory. The territories include the states of; Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and the companies are currently negotiating their coverage to the states of Idaho and Montana. "We are pleased with the tremendous success that Apple Rush Maui has attained in such a relatively short period of time. This is truly a Win-Win situation for both companies. Apple Rush Maui has made great strides in obtaining new west coast accounts for Apple Rush and we commend them for that. Their expansion is predicated on their success in California, and in addition, some of the chain stores cover multiple states. They have proven they have the ability to both financially and logistically handle accelerated growth. It is our hope that we will have this agreement completed by Jan 1, 2010," stated Robert Corr, President of Apple Rush Co.
