Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV; OTC: KBEVF) (the “Company” or “Koios”) is pleased to announce that as of Tuesday, March 9, 2021 its Fit Soda ™ functional beverage product will be carried by Roche Bros. Supermarkets, Inc. (“Roche Bros”), a supermarket chain of 21 stores operating under three banners in Massachusetts with over 4,800 associates. In a press release dated January 28, 2021 the Company announced a distribution agreement with Chex Finer Foods, Inc. (“Chex”), a specialty and natural foods distributor that services the New England area (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont) and was named “North Atlantic Regional Supplier Partner of the Year” by natural and organic grocery market leader Whole Foods in 2013 1 . Within just weeks of beginning this engagement, Chex has placed all four flavours of the Company’s Fit Soda ™ beverage product in all stores of the Roche Bros chain, enhancing the Company’s existing presence in eastern Massachusetts.
Roche Bros is in its second generation of family ownership, having started in 1952 as a meat and produce shop in Roslindale, MA. Adding a grocery department in 1957, Roche Bros went on to open a second location two years later. Roche Bros continued to grow its family of stores, and in its fourth location introduced a wider variety of departments to include bakery and floral, as well as a restaurant. As of 2021, Roche Bros operates a total of 21 grocery stores with three banners to include its flagship Roche Bros , as well as Sudbury Farms and Brothers Marketplace , a “neighbourhood market” concept. In 2015, Roche Bros opened a new location in the lower level of the former Filene’s department store building in Downtown Crossing (one of Boston’s shopping districts), which in the same year housed the first U.S. retail store of European fast fashion giant Primark . Notably, this 25,000 square foot Roche Bros location was the first full-scale grocery store to operate in downtown Boston in decades 2 .

Fit Soda ™, which is offered in Orange Cream , Root Beer Vanilla Float , Black Cherry , and Sparkling Citrus flavours, was launched by the Company in the United States on July 19, 2019 as a substitute for incumbent soft drink products, complementing the Company’s KOIOS ™ nootropic beverage. With zero calories and no sugar, Fit Soda ™ rapidly gained popularity among consumers in the United States, prompting Walmart to add all four Fit Soda ™ flavours to its U.S. online store in April 2020. Fit Soda ™ has performed especially well in certain regions of the United States to include Wisconsin, where between May 2020 and June 2020 purchase orders grew by over 400% from a base of 90 retailers 3 .

Koios Chief Executive Officer Chris Miller commented, “In addition to sustaining our existing retail and online sales pipelines, our beverage products are being placed on new shelves all across the United States so far in 2021 through targeted regional efforts with an objective of gaining market share in specific areas of the country. When we were first approached by Chex as a result of two grocery chain buyers specifically requesting our beverage products (one of whom was from Roche Bros), we knew that their territory clearly had existing demand, which made New England a region of interest for us. Within just a few weeks of signing on with Chex as a distributor, Roche Bros made the decision to place Fit Soda™ in all 21 of its stores across eastern Massachusetts as of Tuesday, March 9, 2021. We are confident that this will augment our existing presence in Massachusetts stores, and enable us to gather even more empirical data about how Fit Soda™ performs at retail on the east coast as we continue our initiatives to capture greater market share in the functional beverages category.”

TRACE’s plant-based and alkaline wellness products to expand into key markets of Japan, China and the Philippines
Emerging leader in innovative health and wellness beverages and consumer products, BevCanna Enterprises Inc . ( CSE:BEV , Q:BVNNF , FSE:7BC ) (“ BevCanna ” or the “ Company ”) announces today its anticipated expansion into the Asia Pacific region, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Naturo Group. After completing a comprehensive market, distribution and partner assessment, the Company intends to initially launch its portfolio of TRACE health and wellness products in the key markets of Japan, China, and the Philippines, through multi-channel distribution outlets including e-commerce, retail, and wholesale.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210413005502/en/
TRACE product family (Photo: Business Wire)
With a combined population of 1.633 billion people, or 21 percent of the world’s citizenry, the three countries signify a substantial opportunity for BevCanna. The markets’ growing and prosperous middle-class consumer base represents an ideal demographic for the TRACE products, as consumers increasingly opt for healthier lifestyle choices. The global nutraceutical market size is projected to reach US$722.49 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 8.3% over the forecast period; Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period, particularly in Japan and China. 1 The Japanese market is particularly suited for the introduction of the TRACE brand, with its consumers having developed a decided preference for natural, health-conscious products. Two-thirds of Asian consumers believe in superfoods and natural health products for treating ailments 2 , representing a prime demographic for wellness-focused products.
“The Asian market is a natural fit for our TRACE line of plant-based and alkaline products,” said Melise Panetta, President of BevCanna. “We’ve been actively evaluating the market potential, while also fielding increased interest from Asian customers and partners in our TRACE plant-based mineral products and our Canadian natural alkaline spring water. Our portfolio of products will address a growing demand for nutraceuticals and wellness-focused natural products, and we’re pleased to announce our anticipated expansion into these significant markets”.
TRACE’s proprietary plant-based mineralized beverages and nutraceuticals contain fulvic and humic minerals, sourced from ancient organic compounds that are highly concentrated sources of trace minerals. Recognized benefits of the Health Canada-approved formulations include cognitive performance, gut health, immune function, and aiding the body in metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Mineral-enhanced water is increasingly popular in Asia for its purported benefits to human immune systems and brain health.
TRACE’s proprietary alkaline spring water is bottled at source in British Columbia’s Okanagan region. The alkaline water provides additional benefits to the consumer as compared to most tap and conventional bottled water, including the increased presence of hydroxyl ions, increased hydration, improved bone health, healthier skin and decreased gastrointestinal symptoms.
