GNC to Double the Number of Its Retail Stores Carrying Purple
8:30a ET July 8, 2008 (Business Wire)
Purple Beverage Company, Inc. (OTCBB: PPBV), announced today that it has shipped Purple, its signature product that combines seven powerful antioxidant-rich fruits into a tangy, delicious beverage, to 700 additional General Nutrition Centers (GNC), bringing Purple to customers at more than 1,500 GNC stores across the country. The expanded distribution is a result of Purple's popularity and success in the GNC stores that have been selling the beverage since early 2008.

"We are thrilled that Purple has been so well-received by GNC customers and that GNC has decided to feature Purple in even more stores. This is representative of the reactions that we have received from consumers nationwide who are looking for healthier alternatives to sugary soft drinks and have made Purple their beverage of choice," said Ted Farnsworth, CEO of Purple Beverage Company. "In fact, since Purple made its official debut in late 2007, consumers and even sports stars like Torii Hunter and Mariano Rivera have embraced Purple, skyrocketing the antioxidant-rich drink to its status as one of the most sought-after beverages in markets like New York, Los Angeles and Miami. With availability at additional GNC stores, more consumers than ever can now experience the Power of Purple."

Purple is a unique and tasty blend of seven of the world's most powerful antioxidant-rich fruits, including the exotic acai berry, black cherry, pomegranate, black currant, purple plum, cranberry and blueberry. The health benefits of these fruits are packed into an all-natural, no preservatives, no sugar added beverage that is perfect as an on-the-go beverage or as part of a healthy fruit smoothie. Since debuting in 2007, Purple has been praised by such high-profile publications as Health Magazine and Family Circle and has appeared on ABC-TV's "The View."

Additionally, because adding alcohol to antioxidant-rich berries increases their antioxidant capacity - a fact confirmed by researchers from the United States Department of Agriculture and by a study by researchers at Kasetsart University in Thailand - Purple is becoming one of the most popular antioxidant cocktail trends in nightclubs and lounges.

Purple can be found in select GNC stores across the country and online at www.gnc.com, as well as in various restaurants, bars, nightclubs, delis, drug stores, health food stores, supermarkets and convenience stores. For more information, visit www.drinkpurple.com.

GNC, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pa., is the largest global specialty retailer of nutritional products including vitamin, mineral, herbal and other specialty supplements and sports nutrition, diet and energy products. GNC has more than 5,000 retail locations throughout the United States (including more than 950 franchise and 1,400 Rite Aid store-within-a-store locations) and franchise operations in 43 international markets.

This seems like it may have potential. I am going to look into this one.

I bought into the PPBV stock a couple of months ago and here\'s what I know so far:
I have a renewed awareness that patience is not and probably never will be a virtue I come to excell in. That being said I have done enough research in the company to know alot of it\'s short comings and many of it\'s achievements.
1.The stock is not moving forward at a rate that is within my comfort zone as far as investment increase in value.
2.They have several key people in place within management who have the proven ability to grow big business in astonishing short periods of time.
3.Their business plan appears to be very conservative in it\'s assessment of potential future growth.
4. They do have evidence of mass production in place in video form on their website.
5. They are making reasonable in roads toward nation wide distribution but at a slower rate than my patience would like.
6. I believe their website does provide evidence of their improvement toward public awareness and networking capabilities.
7. In my opinion the quality of personnel, product and packaging along with timely progress in increasing distribution is well within necessary limits to become a national if not international drink
with sales that could rival \"Snapple\".
8. However not Pepsi.
9. Last but not least...It does have an enjoyable distinctive flavor, possibly one that grows on you,Not completely unique but potentially rivaling the differences we all find between Pepsi and Coke.
It does taste good and as a \"mixer\" that niche market alone should provide necessary capital to grow the company by leaps and bounds.

I'm not in this anymore, their slide cost me enough, but I continue to watch it. When it reaches critical mass (cheap price coupled with actually making money) I plan to jump back in.

News just came out today that looked interesting.

From what I know Crown is a pretty good sized distributor. A buddy of mine brewed his own beer and he signed with Crown. Stands to become quite rich.
It's called Firehouse Brew.
