SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/12/16 -- Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. (OTCQB: BCCI), "Seattle's World Famous Costume
Coffee," announced today that they have formed an acquisition committee to manage the planned expansion of the Baristas brand
through structured acquisitions.
The committee, which includes representatives from internal operations, Board Members, and finance, also includes individuals
committed to funding the expansion of the Baristas brand. Verticals that support the current growth of brand awareness and
marketing efforts are the primary focus initially. The committee is currently evaluating various acquisitions as well as seeking
new companies and products.
As a result of the initial success expanding into the retail product sector with the Baristas White Coffee single serve cups,
and early acceptance of the soon to be released cosmetic product line, Baristas is making a commitment to further expanding the
retail product sector into verticals that support the current distribution model and advertising campaigns in place.
Structured acquisitions of companies, product lines and distribution channels within these verticals will expedite market
penetration and significantly decrease the costs associated with expanding the Baristas product offerings.
Barry Henthorn, CEO commented, "Baristas White Coffee single serve cups have opened up many opportunities to introduce Baristas
to a new national group of consumers and distribution channels. Baristas is growing its distribution and building awareness of the
Baristas brand through its offerings and marketing efforts and a very unique product. Expanding the offerings now will leverage the
advertising and promotional campaign already funded and under way while diversifying and broadening our customer profile."
About Baristas Coffee Company (OTCQB: BCCI): Headquartered in the Seattle, Washington
area, Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. was formed to create a national brand of drive-thru espresso stands. BCCI is accomplishing this
by acquiring established businesses that fit its model, opening new locations, and by franchising. Baristas also creates and
markets coffee based retail products such as Baristas White Coffee and Espresso Roast that are Keurig 2.0 compatible and other
