Beneficial Blends Opens New Headquarters in Tampa, Launches Kelapo™ Coconut Oil Products

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Beneficial Blends, LLC, distributors of Kelapo™ coconut oil products, recently opened its new headquarters in the Thompson Center, Tampa, Florida. The location, which will also act as a distribution center, was chosen because of its convenient proximity just north of the Tampa International Airport, making it ideal for conducting business both nationally and internationally.  

Kelapo™ Virgin Coconut Oil is an exciting recent arrival on the cooking scene and presents an ideal healthy alternative to butter and other oils that have traditionally been used in cooking, baking and sauteing.  Kelapo coconut oil made its formal debut last month at Natural Products Expo East in Boston and will soon be making its way into Florida and onto store shelves across the country.

"We carefully selected our new space with an eye toward growth, as this new location will more than meet our goals for fast shipping and excellent customer service as we expand and as Kelapo coconut oil products become available in more stores across the country," stated Erin Meagher, Kelapo founder and 'Chief Coconut.'  "We are excited to be new members of Tampa Bay's business community and look forward to spreading the word about the wonderful benefits of coconut oil to our new neighbors and beyond."

Kelapo is the only Fair Trade coconut oil product on the market, something Meagher is proud to quickly point out.  "Our Fair Trade policy makes us unique among producers of coconut oil.  We embrace what we believe to be our duty to support the farmers and laborers who work hard to harvest these special fruits of the coconut trees," says Meagher.  "Our social responsibility starts by paying the Fair Trade premiums that help the communities where we source our coconut oil, and we continue our commitment by supporting organizations right here in the United States that focus on the health and fitness of children and families."
