TORONTO, ONTARIO and LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA--(Marketwired - Dec. 6, 2016) -
THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS.
The Tinley Beverage Company Inc. (the "Company" or "Tinley") (OTC PINK:QRSRF)(CSE:TNY) is
pleased to provide an update on its products, operations and sales.
Sales Progress
The Company continues to make progress with its retail distribution strategy:
- The Company has been conducting a trial with a major convenience store chain and is now expanding this trial by an
additional 25 stores. This brings the total number of stores in this chain to 33. The stores are in LA County, Orange
County, San Diego County and the Inland Empire. Management remains encouraged by the initial results as well as with the
opportunity to expand the initial trial. While there can be no guarantees of further success, Tinley hopes to attract larger
purchase orders as store coverage and brand awareness increases.
- The company has received an initial purchase order from luckyvitamin.com, a leading online health and wellness store owned
by GNC. It expects the listing on the site to launch in the coming weeks.
- Hemplify is now available in Sprouts Chula Vista and Eastlake in San Diego County, California. The Company is seeking
to further expand Hemplify's availability in premium grocery stores and, as such, is engaged in discussions with buyers at
several such chains.
- The Company has added additional salespeople in Southern California and has retained a food brokerage firm in Northern
California to expand its coverage of natural food and premium grocery stores throughout the state and in Nevada.
Products and Operations
- The Company has manufactured bulk liquid for its next bottling run and expects to complete packaging within the next two
weeks. Product from this run contains additional clean label claims and label enhancements that have been specifically
designed to target a wider variety of consumers and premium retailers.
- The Company has formulated an energy shot based on the current Hemplify formulation. An initial production run of the
energy shot is planned for after successful shelf stability testing.
Tinley '27 Cannabis-Infused Beverages
The Company is working with its Los Angeles formulator and a cannabis collective on an initial test batch. It expects to
complete this test batch prior to the end of this calendar year. The products being produced in this initial batch will be
the previously-announced Jamaican dark rum extract and a newly-developed ready-to-drink margarita cocktail. All products
will be alcohol-free and will be infused with high purity THC oil.
"We're enthusiastic about the progress of store listings for our hemp CBD products as well as with the formulations and
production planning for our cannabis-infused beverages. Our products remain differentiated in our target jurisdictions and
consumer awareness is steadily increasing," said Jeff Maser, CEO of Tinley.
