Koios’ Fit Soda Functional Beverage Line to be Distributed by Wisconsin DSD Firm Bill’s Distributing

 Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV; OTC: KBEVF) (the “Company” or “Koios”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a distributor agreement with Bill’s Distributing, Ltd. (“Bill’s Distributing”), a major beverage distributor in Wisconsin offering direct store delivery (“DSD”) service, for distribution of the Company’s Fit Soda™ line of functional beverages. Bill’s Distributing primarily serves the region of northwestern Wisconsin, representing more than 500 brands of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The Company believes its engagement with Bill’s Distributing will play a key role in penetrating this region’s market at a localized level with a focus on the Fit Soda™ beverage line, alongside Koios’ presence in the stores of national retail chains.

Based in Menomonie, Wisconsin, Bill’s Distributing was founded in 1954 as a beer distributor, working in its early years with brands to include Schmidt and Pfeiffer’s. Today it represents more than 1,500 stock keeping units (“SKU”) across its portfolio of 500 beverage brands, featuring notable household brand named  products in categories to include beer (e.g. Budweiser, Busch, Michelob), brewed tea beverages (e.g. Teavana, Arnold PalmerArizona), and soda (e.g. 7 Up, A&W, Canada Dry). Bill’s Distributing operates out of a distribution centre of 153,000 square feet with a sales team of eighteen members, three of whom have been with the firm since 1991. In 2006, a time when functional beverages were relatively new in the U.S., Bill’s Distributing began to represent Monster Energy beverages and at one point carried more than 35 Monster-branded beverage products including the entire Rehab and Ultra lines.

The Company first announced its Fit Soda™ line of functional beverages in September of 2018, as a beverage reported to improve users’ physical well-being through a combination of naturally-occurring electrolytes and branched-chain amino acids. Fit Soda™ beverages are caffeine-free, have zero calories, and have no sugar or artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives. Fit Soda™ was officially launched in its Orange Cream and Root Beer Vanilla Float flavours on July 19, 2019, achieving a presence in more than 500 U.S. retail storefronts at the end of the Company’s FQ1 2020. Two additional Fit Soda™ flavours (Black Cherry and Sparkling Citrus) were released in December 2019. Bill’s Distributing will carry all four Fit Soda ™ flavours.

Koios CEO Chris Miller commented, “We love working with DSD distributors because they do more than just distribute products, they are partners in our success as a beverage producer. Our objective is to holistically build and maintain a strong brand image as a company that creates cutting-edge functional beverages. To do that, we need astute eyes and ears at our various points of sale to continuously gather feedback and insights, as well as to ensure our store presence is on point at all times. Bill’s Distributing has spent the past sixty-six years doing just that for some of the most recognized beverage names in the country, including those who produce functional beverages. We are excited to work with Bill’s Distributing because they have the reach, the resources, and the expertise to help us make a localized impact in the Wisconsin market, with a dedicated focus on our Fit Soda™ line.”
