Initial Bottling of Blue Water Premium Rums Begins, Plus Company's Equity Investment Soon Ready for OTCBB Listing
WHITEFISH, MT / ACCESSWIRE / January 15, 2015 / Blue Water Global Group has put together a remarkably well-balanced
plan for growth, and is now seeing initial results as its plans are being put into action. First of all, the company has now announced that
it is commencing bottling of the company's initial premium rums,
including Blue Water Ultra Premium(TM) and Blue Water Caribbean Gold(TM). The
rums are an integral part of Blue Water's Caribbean based restaurant
chain, Blue Water Bar & Grill, which is being readied for launch
with the first restaurant soon to be built in the popular port of St.
Maarten, with plans for expansion at the rate of approximately one new
location annually to Aruba, Barbados, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Nassau.
Another key benchmark has also been reached with Blue Water's equity
investment segment, which is due to benefit from the upcoming listing of
Stream Flow Media on the OTCBB, expected in spring 2015. Blue Water's
President and CEO, J. Scott Sitra, also founded and heads Taurus
Financial Partners. In addition to an in-depth knowledge of securities
law, Mr. Sitra has considerable experience in taking companies public. Through a strategic alliance agreement with Taurus, Blue Water is able
to market this in-demand experience. By helping companies to go public,
and covering associated procedural costs, Blue Water can obtain blocks
of stock in compensation. The company plans on distributing some of that
stock as a dividend to its own shareholders, while the rest can be sold
strategically to provide a long-term flow of financial support for Blue
Water's other endeavors.
All Part of Blue Water's Strategic Plan
These recent accomplishments are the latest steps in the company's
carefully structured plan to establish and grow a Caribbean based brand,
targeting a critical unfilled niche in the burgeoning Caribbean tourist
market. The Caribbean has already established itself as one of the
brightest lights in the global tourist market. Only a short boat or
plane ride from economically and politically stable North America, the
profusion of seductive tropical islands continues to draw an expanding
flood of visitors from the U.S. Much of this, of course, comes from the
massive and packed cruise ships that leave Florida throughout the year
to dock at the growing number of island ports. Tourists are counted in
the millions, with Europe and other parts of the world increasingly
represented.
At the center of Blue Water's Caribbean strategy is the company's
soon-to-launch Blue Water Bar & Grill restaurant chain. This is a
restaurant concept that is like no other Caribbean offering. Extensive
market research has revealed that, although the Caribbean food service
market is huge and growing, there is a significant need that is not
being filled. The fact is that much of what is seen in the way of food
service in the region is polarized, divided between pricey gourmet style
restaurants that many tourists can't afford and low-end family-owned
operations that vary greatly in terms of quality. For tourists that may
visit multiple island destinations, it's an on-going gamble and often
disappointing. It became clear that what is needed is a reasonably
priced restaurant brand of consistent quality that truly captures the
feeling and spirit for which the region is so well known.

Blue Water Group is specifically targeting this need with their Blue
Water Bar & Grill. The restaurant is arranged to perfectly capture
the feel of the Caribbean with a blend of location, ambiance, food and
drink, unmatched anywhere else. The tiki-style design includes a large
covered patio, traditional fire pits, and a dramatic ocean view. There
will even be a pool and swim-up bar. The restaurants will be located
near the most popular cruise ship ports, first in St. Maarten, and then
Aruba, Barbados, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Nassau. The goal is to give
both new and returning visitors a clear and compelling choice when it
comes to experiencing the romance of the islands, providing a brand name
that will become synonymous throughout the Caribbean with dependable
food, price, and atmosphere. Investors in location-themed restaurant
chains like Darden Restaurants' (NYSE: DRI) Olive Garden and Bahama
Breeze may want to note these developments.
Building The Restaurant Brand With Premium Rums
In a move to build on the Blue Water Bar & Grill concept, the
company has been developing a corresponding line of premium Caribbean
rums. The premium rums will be served at the Blue Water Bar & Grill
restaurants, but will also be available for purchase at select retail
distributors in the area. The idea is to expand on the Blue Water name,
giving patrons something inherently Caribbean and high quality that they
can enjoy at the restaurants plus take home with them as a reminder and
name builder for friends and family.
Blue Water's wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Water Beverage Brands,
Ltd., is developing the rums, and they are being bottled in the
Dominican Republic. The rums, beginning with Ultra Premium Rum and
spiced Blue Water Caribbean Gold Premium Rum, are of the highest
quality, and are meant to be an unforgettable part of the overall
Caribbean experience. The premium rums will also become available in the
exclusive St. Barts, French West Indies, and Anguilla, British West
Indies. The premium rum market is growing around the world, leading to
investment by big spirits market players such Castle Brands (NYSE: ROX),
Diageo (NYSE: DEO), and United Spirits (BOM: 532432), all of which have
an important stake in the growing rum industry.
Strategic Plan Supported by Equity Investments
An additional financial underpinning for Blue Water's Caribbean
assault comes from the company's equity investments. By providing
critical assistance to companies seeking to go public, compensated with
shares as those companies become listed, Blue Water is positioned to
create a growing portfolio of stock equities. These equities can be held
to grow, and later sold to obtain financial support for Blue Water
operations.
In the case of the recent Stream Flow Media, Inc. arrangement, Blue
Water owns an aggregate overall equity interest of approximately 19.8%.
Stream Flow anticipates receiving a listing on the OTCBB within the next
three months, at which point Blue Water will be able to proceed with
seeking regulatory approval from the SEC and FINRA for its planned
one-time stock dividend of 5,000,000, or 25%, of its Stream Flow shares.
