U-Vend, Inc. to Launch Novelty Ice Cream Product "Pucks Premium Ice Cream"

SANTA MONICA, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 4, 2015) - U-Vend, Inc. (OTCQB: UVND) (the "Company"), a consumer products and technology company that develops, distributes and markets next-generation self-serve electronic kiosks in a variety of retail environments across North America announced today that they have developed a proprietary, premium ice cream novelty product for the retail market called Pucks Premium Ice Cream™ (''Pucks").

"Pucks is geared to the hockey fan and is a creamy vanilla ice cream dipped in sweet dark chocolate in the shape and color of an actual hockey puck, and is mounted on a collectable replica mini hockey stick. Our intention is to produce the highest quality products for consumers, and we believe that our Pucks Premium Ice Cream™ will establish a branding foundation with which to subsequently launch additional unique consumer goods," said Paul Neelin, U-Vend Founder and COO, and creator of the Pucks concept.

The Company is currently developing initial points of distribution for Pucks, as well as exploring partnership, licensing and sponsorship opportunities. Initially, Pucks Premium Ice Cream™ will be offered in Canada through U-Vend's automated retail kiosks and merchandiser freezers located within convenience stores and other high traffic locations. As part of U-Vend's overall branding initiatives for the Pucks Premium Ice Cream™ line, the Company will add a "red light" to both the automated, self-serve kiosks and merchandisers, simulating the scoring of a goal when a Pucks product is sold.

"The introduction of our innovative Pucks product line represents a strategic entry into the multi-billion dollar North American ice cream market. The Pucks concept brings a wide assortment of potential licensing, sponsorship and related-product opportunities for U-Vend. We are very excited about offering Pucks to the consumer in both the U.S and Canadian markets through multiple sales channels including amateur and professional hockey arenas, local convenience stores, national retail stores and at special events," stated Raymond Meyers, CEO of U-Vend, Inc.

The Company is scheduled to release the Pucks Premium Ice Cream™ consumer brand for the Canadian market in the second quarter 2015, with the U.S. market to follow. U-Vend intends to build a world-wide category of Pucks Premium Ice Cream™ quality products and merchandise for the consumer markets around the globe.
