drank(TM) Extreme Relaxation Beverage(TM) Secures Coveted Shelf Space at Popular Convenience Store Chain Circle K

HOUSTON and PENSACOLA, Fla., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Innovative Beverage Group Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: IBGH) announced that mega convenience store chain, Circle K, will be selling its extreme relaxation(TM) beverage, drank(TM) in stores across Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and in the Florida panhandle.

For more than 50 years, Circle K has been one of North America's most popular and successful convenience stores operators. Today, there are more than 3,000 Circle K stores across the USA and over 4,000 international locations.

When the concept for drank(TM) relaxation beverage took root in early 2008, an army of energy drinks was vying for prized market share in the hottest cold beverage trend in the United States. Rather than join the masses, drank(TM) has changed the game. Armed with the battle cry "slow your roll(TM)," this lightly carbonated beverage promises relaxation -- not energy -- through its carefully formulated infusion of melatonin, valerian root and rose hips. Only one year later, this original concept from Houston-based Innovative Beverage Group has turned the market upside down, propelling the beverage into a solid profit generator for distributors and retailers alike.

"Having been featured in scores of magazines and newspapers as well as on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brian and Good Morning America, drank(TM) popularity continues to grow, making it essential to work with major retail chains like Circle K to ensure that our fans can easily locate drank(TM)," said Peter Bianchi, CEO of Innovative Beverage Group and creator of drank(TM). "As such, securing shelf space at Circle K has been a top priority for our roll-out strategy and an agreement that we are proud to announce to our fans throughout the south."

With a slogan of "slow your roll(TM)," drank(TM) is the antithesis in the herd of energy drinks crowding the functional beverage sector. Since launching in select markets in early 2008, drank(TM) has quickly become the go-to beverage for people looking to relax their mind and body with a calming blend of melatonin, rose hips and valerian root.
