Melbourne, FL, March 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kona Gold Beverage, Inc. (OTCQB: KGKG), a holding company focused on product development in the better-for-you and hemp and CBD functional beverage sector, is pleased to announce its wholly owned subsidiary, Gold Leaf Distribution, has begun to sell the Company’s new Sparkling Ooh La Lemin Lemonades into Walmart stores in South Carolina. There are 110 Walmart store locations in South Carolina and Gold Leaf Distribution has been tasked to sell all 6 new flavors of Sparkling Ooh La Lemin Lemonades into those stores. The Company’s new 12 oz Sparkling Ooh La Lemin Lemonades are also authorized in all Walmart stores nationwide.
Kona Gold Beverage announced earlier this month that its popular non-sparkling Ooh La Lemin Lemonades will be sold in Walmart brick and mortar stores. The Company’s 16 oz Ooh La Lemin Lemonades, available in 4 flavors, will be included in modular sets in all stores with 12 ft or wider coolers in select states starting in June of 2022. Gold Leaf will also be tasked to launch and distribute the 4 flavors in June across the state of South Carolina. The 4 flavors of Ooh La Lemin are also authorized in Walmart’s system nationwide, which will give the Company fire power to secure distribution in states where it’s currently lacking.
“This is a huge milestone for not only our Kona Gold subsidiary, but also our Gold Leaf Distribution subsidiary,” stated Robert Clark, CEO of Kona Gold Beverage, Inc. “Kona Gold now has all 6 flavors of our new Sparkling Ooh La Lemin and all 4 flavors of our original Ooh La Lemin Lemonades authorized in Walmart nationwide. On top of that, Gold Leaf, our Company owned distribution company, will be distributing all 10 SKUs to Walmart’s across South Carolina. This is an exciting opportunity for both subsidiaries and has the potential to add big, additional bottom line revenue. We are excited to roll both lines of Ooh La Lemin out with our current and new distribution partners as well.”
The Company recently announced it had beat its February Revenue Projections. The Company forecasted $325,000 in revenue for February and closed out the month with approximately $345,000 in revenue between its two subsidiaries, Kona Gold LLC and Gold Leaf Distribution LLC. Kona Gold Beverage is on track to having its first quarter with one million plus in revenue.
