Long Island Iced Tea(R) Available at 11 Sam's Club Locations Beginning April 2017
HICKSVILLE, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 25, 2017) - Long Island Iced Tea Corp. (NASDAQ: LTEA) (the "Company"), a growth-oriented
company focused on the non-alcohol ready-to-drink ("NARTD") segment in the beverage industry, today announced that it has secured
placement of its flagship brand Long Island Iced Tea® in 11 Sam's Club locations across Puerto Rico that will commence
in April 2017.
The Company has previously announced a broadening of focus into the Latin American and Caribbean markets, which it considers
'home markets', as they do not require the establishment of additional manufacturing capacity outside of the US. This new
partnership with Sam's Club is the result of the Company's previously announced distribution agreement with Vaqueria Tres
Monjitas, one of the premier beverage distributors in Puerto Rico. Long Island Iced Tea® will be available in Sam's
Club in 20-ounce bottle variety packs.
Philip Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "We are thrilled to begin this partnership with Sam's Club and
further enhance our distribution in Puerto Rico. We are excited to be working with Sam's Club, who is recognized for providing
consumers with quality products at an affordable price. In addition, the variety pack is a great way for consumers to enjoy a
range of our natural fruit flavors in one convenient form."
