WHITEFISH, MT / ACCESSWIRE / February 11, 2015 /
Final Building Permit Approved
Blue Water Global Group, a U.S. based company targeting the vibrant
and growing Caribbean tourist market, is in the final stages of
preparation for the launch of their initial restaurant in what is to be a
carefully branded chain of restaurants throughout the Caribbean. Their
Blue Water Bar & Grill(TM) is being developed to meet a significant
unmet food service need in the Caribbean, a destination being called on
to serve millions of U.S. and global tourists coming in every year by
plane and cruise ship. And now Blue Water has announced that the
building permit for their first restaurant, located at St. Maarten in
the Dutch West Indies, a popular port attracting over 2 million visitors
annually, has been approved, and the company is finalizing
ground-breaking plans with the architect and construction company. The
St. Maarten flagship restaurant should be open and ready to capitalize
on the 2015 tourist season beginning in November this year, and the
company plans to follow that over the next five years with Blue Water
Bar & Grills in other key locations:
- Aruba, Dutch West Indies
- Nassau, Bahamas
- Cozumel, Mexico
- Grand Cayman
- Barbados
The Caribbean is a hotbed tourist market, with a steady flow of new
and returning visitors seeking a memorable island experience. Not
surprisingly, a big part of this will be sought in the available dining
venues, and therein lies what Blue Water Global sees as a singular
opportunity. The Caribbean is full of small family-owned places to eat,
but there is no way for an outsider to know whether the food, service,
and atmosphere being offered are going to be what they want. Quality and
price are largely unpredictable, and every visit becomes a roll of the
dice. Even if a visitor manages to find a place they like, there's no
way to take it along with them to their next island stop. What is
desperately needed is a high quality but reasonably priced restaurant
that captures the magic of the location, and with an identifiable name
that can be found throughout the Caribbean. It is this opening that Blue
Water Bar & Grill has been designed to address.
In addition to prime Caribbean port locations, Blue Water Bar &
Grill restaurants will offer the island ambience that tourists there
traditionally seek, with a great ocean view, a large covered patio,
authentic fire pits, and even a pool and swim-up bar. To this will be
added a memorable selection of food and drinks, all capturing the magic
of the islands and yet at an affordable price. The idea is to create a
memorable dining experience that will be forever associated with the
Blue Water brand.
The importance of having researched and identified a crucial gap in
the food service coverage of a major global tourist draw like the
Caribbean, and constructing a multi-pronged approach to meet that need,
cannot be over emphasized. Finding and addressing such a popular
consumer demand leads to things like the highly successful Shake Shack
IPO (NYSE: SHAK) raising over $100 million.
First Premium Rums Are Ready For Sale
In synch with the development of their Blue Water Bar & Grill
chain, the company has also been putting together their own line of
premium rums, under the Blue Water brand, that will support their
restaurant base plus be available for take-home. Rum is one of the most
location-linked spirits on the planet, with a long Caribbean history,
and premium rums are rapidly gaining a global popularity. Castle Brands
(NYSE: ROX), Diageo (NYSE: DEO), and United Spirits (BOM: 532432) have
all established stakes in the growing rum industry. Not only will the
move support the Blue Water name when offered in their restaurants, it
will continue to build the brand as customers take it home for
themselves, family and friends.
The premium rums, starting with Blue Water Ultra Premium Rum and aged
spiced Blue Water Caribbean Gold Premium Rum, are currently for sale by
Blue Water's wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Water Beverage Brands, Ltd.,
in St. Maarten and will soon be available at select retail outlets
elsewhere in the Caribbean, including St. Barts, French West Indies, and
Anguilla, British West Indies.
Blue Water has secured a warehouse in St. Maarten to store and
support the regional sale and distribution of the rums, a location that
will also serve to support various retail branded merchandise, including
t-shirts and beach towels, that will be sold in future Blue Water Bar
& Grill restaurant gift shops.
Equity Investment Portfolio Begins To Grow
In addition to major developments with Blue Water's restaurant and
rum initiatives, the company has also achieved a benchmark with its
unique equity investment portfolio, based upon Blue Water's President
and CEO, J. Scott Sitra, and his knowledge of securities law. He is also
the founder and head of Taurus Financial Partners, and, through a
strategic alliance agreement with Blue Water, he is able to use his
abilities to help companies seeking to go public. In compensation, Blue
Water can obtain blocks of stock that can be held for equity growth and
later sold to provide financial support for Blue Water's operations.
The company recently announced the upcoming listing of Stream Flow
Media on the OTCBB, set for some time early in 2015. In the case of
Stream Flow Media, Inc., Blue Water owns an aggregate overall equity
interest of approximately 19.8%. Once Stream Flow is listed, Blue Water
will be able to proceed with seeking regulatory approval from the SEC
and FINRA for a planned one-time stock dividend of 5,000,000, or 25%, of
its Stream Flow shares.
All Systems Go
The first two major elements of Blue Water Global Group's
thoughtfully conceived Caribbean strategy are now falling into place.
The first restaurant, with many more planned, is now approved for
construction, and their supporting retail premium rums are being bottled
and are now available for sale. These two critical component offerings
have been structured to provide marketing and financial support to one
another as they both grow. Finally, the company's equity portfolio is
now taking off with the initiation of the Stream Flow Media stock
program; with many more potential programs in the future, another source
for internally controlled long-term financial support is in place.
