Anyone that watches ABC's
popular investment show Shark Tank knows that the "sharks" got
swagger and pull to get their chosen investments out to the
masses.
One of those outlets is
Mr. Checkout, a national association of independent wagon-jobbers
and full-line distributors selling through approximately 40,000
independent stores around the U.S. Micro-cap Puration, Inc.
(OTCPK:PURA)
may not have a shark in its corner, but the company managed to ink
a distribution agreement with Mr. Checkout that will send
Puration's EVERx CBD Infused Sports Water throughout the extensive
network.
Launched last year at
Arnold Schwarzenegger's Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio,
EVERx is a patent-protected drink known for its high alkaline
ionized water, antioxidants, electrolytes and infusion of
cannabidiol (CBD), a compound found in cannabis believed to deliver
an array of health benefits. CBD should not be confused with THC
(tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychotropic part of cannabis that is
responsible for the "high" feeling associated with
marijuana.
10 milligrams of CBD are
infused per 500-milliliter bottle of EVERx. The drink comes in
lemon-lime and kiwi-strawberry flavors.
"Introducing a new
consumer product not backed by a Fortune 500 brand name is
extremely difficult, but when done right, the new consumer product
can turn into a new Fortune 500 brand name itself," said Brian
Shibley, CEO of Puration, in today's news
release.
Joel Goldstein, President
of Mr. Checkout, is optimistic as well, saying he sees the EVERx
beverage targeting two growing markets: sports nutrition and
CBD-infused. Goldstein added that he thinks his distribution
network can have "great success" getting EVERx on retailer's
shelves.
Investors seem to agree
measuring by shares of PURA climbing 12.1% in Thursday morning
trading to 3.52 cents.
