Hall of Fame Beverages, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HFBG) would like to
announce Steve Hendricks will become the new Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) for the company. Hendricks has spent 34-years in the
beverage industry managing hundreds of sales executives throughout
the U.S. and developing brands as a national sales manager and Vice
President of companies like Renfield Wine Company, Vintwood
International Wine Brokers, and Rodney Strong Wine Estates. He is
responsible for bringing these companies tens of millions of
dollars in business and helped build those companies into
attractive deals to buyers in the industry.
Hall of Fame Beverages President, Calvin Ross, says, "Steve
comes highly recommended by Louis Restivo because of his strong
character and his standards in the industry."
Louis Restivo added, "I feel with his character, and his
personality and his incredible drive, he will help make Hall of
Fame Beverages a national brand. Steve's hands-on approach is
perfect for this job, and I didn't hesitate to bring his name to
Calvin Ross with my blessing."
Hall of Fame's President is also excited to announce former Hip
Hop Beverages CEO and President, James Robinson, will become the
company's new National Sales Manager. James Robinson aggressively
built a small company in Hip Hop Beverages, into a company
producing $10 to $20 million in annual sales. Ross said, "James
will be responsible for finalizing our deal with more than 800
7-Eleven store franchisees in California, Arizona and Nevada and
heading up efforts to later make this a nationwide deal. He's also
closing out a deal with K-Mart to place Grand Ma Ma's Sweet
Southern Tea in their stores. James is definitely the right person
to develop distribution channels and shelf space with convenience
stores and fueling chain stores nationwide and we're thankful he's
part of this team."
Robinson said this is an experience he's long waited for and
after successfully building Hip Hop Beverages into a company with a
product that is a household name, he now envisions bringing that
same aggressive game plan to Hall of Fame. Robinson said, "We put
our product in 38 states and 10 international countries, and I am
excited and look forward to working with this team and taking this
company to the next level. We don't have to reinvent the wheel here
just change the spokes and we'll enjoy the same successes."
While at Hip Hop Beverages, Alene Gardner, an account executive
with DPI West which distributed Hip Hop Beverages' product said of
Robinson, "He doesn't take no for an answer. He's really
persistent, but he's not pushy and he knows the business."
Louis Restivo will be working very closely with HFBG acting as a
project manager responsible for distribution and marketing. The
company will be using Restivo's extensive distribution network and
continuing to build upon that network with the company's new
additions at CEO and COO.
