Republic National to distribute Tiny's Tequila in Kentucky
NEW YORK, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- STI Signature Spirits Group, LLC (hereinafter the "Company"), a division of Accel Brands, Inc., (a reporting, publicly traded company under the ticker symbol: OTC Pink/ACLP), announced that it has established a distribution relationship with Republic National Distributing Company, LLC (RNDC) to distribute its brand of premium infused tequila, Tiny's Tequila in the state of Kentucky. RNDC is the second largest beverage alcohol distributor of premium wine and spirits in the U.S. distributing some of the world's most well known wine and spirit brands through wholly owned operations in Alabama, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. RNDC also operates in Arizona, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, and South Carolina through venture partnerships. In total, RNDC employs more than 7,000 hard working individuals nationwide.
Tiny's Tequila (www.tinystequila.com), is a premium infused sipping tequila that was developed through a joint venture between the Company, Local Choice, Inc and Grammy award winning singer/songwriter and reality TV star Tameka "Tiny" Harris, the wife of superstar, rapper/actor, TI. The brand currently offers two premium infusions, Orange Blossom (Honey-Orange) and Limelight (Lime). The product, which is Kosher certified, is made from 100% blue agave and infused with natural flavors using a patented purification and refinement process that increases the quality of raw distillates by way of ultrasonic energy, oxidation and filtration which among other benefits, greatly improves the flavor.
"Since launching Tiny's Tequila in October, 2014, the company has received requests from customers and retailers from areas of Kentucky, specifically Northern Kentucky and the Louisville market, so we are excited about the potential of the brand in the state, especially with a strong partner such as RNDC managing the sales and distribution of the brand across Kentucky. We feel that the RNDC-Kentucky team has the resources and experience to give the brand the attention that is required to properly introduce a celebrity backed brand into identified key markets where the product can have initial success at retail," stated Robert Montgomery, CEO of STI Signature Spirits. In fact the company is working with RNDC on initial purchase orders to ensure that the product will be available for the brands' official launch in the market during the Urban Expo Music Festival (www.midwestmusicfest.org) which is taking place in Louisville, KY at the Yum's Center June 12-14th, 2015. Tiny's Tequila is the official tequila of the festival and will be hosting several events throughout the weekend.
