Kona Gold Solutions, Inc. Announces New South Carolina Distribution Partner Ringo’s Wholesale


The Company’s online and Amazon.com sales are highest to date

MELBOURNE, Fla., Oct. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kona Gold Solutions, Inc. (OTC Pink: KGKG), a hemp lifestyle brand focused on product development in the functional beverage sector, is pleased to announce its new distribution partner, Ringo’s Wholesale, located in Lexington, South Carolina.  Ringo’s Wholesale will be distributing the Company’s Kona Gold Hemp Energy Drinks and HighDrate CBD Energy Waters to new territories in key markets where the Company’s products are not currently offered.  Ringo’s Wholesale supplies products to over 300 accounts across several counties including Lexington, Newberry, Richland, and Sumter.

“I am excited to be announcing our new distribution partner, Ringo’s Wholesale in South Carolina,” stated Robert Clark, CEO of Kona Gold Solutions, Inc. “Ringo’s covers several key markets in South Carolina that our products are not currently in and is a strategic partner in the Company’s plan to roll out our products in the Southeast United States.  It’s crucial for the Company to continue to partner with independent distributors, such as Ringo’s, that have cultivated strong relationships with their customers and know their markets very well.”

Clark continued, “Chris Selinger, our VP of Sales, and myself have laid out a strategic plan to make Kona Gold and HighDrate available to consumers in all of North and South Carolina, Georgia, and several other key markets by the end of the year.  The Company is also looking to bring on a highly qualified Sales Manager in the beverage industry this quarter to assist in expansion in the Mid-West and Western United States.”

Kona Gold is also pleased to announce that sales from its websites and Amazon.com have seen a substantial spike in the last 30 days.  Amazon.com sales are up 151% from the previous 30 days and 334% from this time last year.
