HOUSTON, Sept. 11, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Level 5 Beverage Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Minerco Resources, Inc. (OTCQB:MINE), begins the second production run of its functional sparkling waters, VitaminFIZZ® today. This production run includes three new VitaminFIZZ flavors: Black Raspberry, Strawberry Lemonade and Pineapple Coconut. Level 5 Beverage will be producing the three new flavors this run to deliver to retail outlets in New York and Southern California. Bottles will also be made available for purchase on Amazon.com.
"The response to VitaminFIZZ has been extremely positive," said V. Scott Vanis, Minerco's Chairman and CEO. "In fact, the response has been so robust that we have begun production on our three new flavors ahead of schedule. While we focus our efforts on NYC and Southern California, we see this as a good sign for upcoming rollouts into new markets."
This second run comes after a successful initial launch of VitaminFIZZ in August that included distribution to New York and Southern California through distributors Drink King and Avanzar, respectively. The initial launch of VitaminFIZZ also included sales through Amazon.com. Approximately 10,000 cases of VitaminFIZZ have been sold (including Purchase Orders) in just the first 20 days. The first run of VitaminFIZZ in August produced over 15,000 cases in the three original flavors, Orange Mango, Strawberry Watermelon and Lemon Lime.
All VitaminFIZZ flavors offer 100% of the Recommended Daily Intake of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. VitaminFIZZ fans should expect to see the new flavors available in late September on shelves in the New York market, closely followed by California and online at Amazon.com.
"Our distribution paths are opening up faster than anticipated," said Darin Ezra, CEO of Power Brands Consulting and Director of Level 5 Beverage. "Retailers and distributors alike are quickly finding value in the VitaminFIZZ brand and with this momentum, we expect to see strong penetration in the first two markets before the end of the year."
