SAINT JOHNS, MI, Dec. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marani Brands, Inc. (OTC PINK: MRIB) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce
that its subsidiary Peppermint Jim, LLC has launched a new lip balm product line with Cocoamint Lip Balm.
Cocoamint Lip Balm is a blend of natural ingredients featuring Peppermint Jim’s pure Peppermint oil and natural chocolate cream
flavor. Peppermint Jim continues to seek online distribution for its expanding line of products. As retail consumers move more to
online shopping, Peppermint Jim will expand distribution to meet that demand.
The Company recently announced the acquisition of Peppermint Jim as part of its move to consumer focused products. Peppermint
Jim’s products fit into a category of “affordable luxury” products that make consumers feel good without carrying a high price tag.
According to a McKinsey & Company report, the affordable luxury segment of consumer retail is the fastest growing product category
within the retail sector. The Company is pleased to move in that direction with a large selection of products distributed
online and in physical locations.
Mr. Crosby stated, "I am excited to be part of MRIB, launching our new products and announcing our new channel partner; www.cpnbrands.com. Of course, we encourage our customers to also visit www.Peppermintjim.com. In the coming months, we plan additional rollouts and will expand our
operations to a wide variety of Pop-up sites and retail locations.”
The Company also plans to rollout new programs for Sponsorship and Private Labeling.
The Company is continuing in its effort to consolidate a unique portfolio of products alongside its current brands.
