RushNet Increases Apple Rush Distribution At The Kehe Foods Show BUSINESS WIRE Posted: 2007-08-06 11:17:32 BLUE ISLAND, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)----RushNet, Inc's (RSHN) participation in the Kehe Foods Tradeshow held last week in Chicago was quite successful for the company. Kehe Foods recently approved the whole Organic Apple Rush line for distribution in their vast network that covers 37 states in the US and Mexico. With three state-of-the-art distribution centers in Illinois, Texas and Utah, Kehe is the premier U. S. Distributor of natural, specialty and ethnic grocery products with over 9,000 customers. That customer base encompasses all the major and independent grocery chains within their territory, and they will be expanding into the Southeast with a new distribution center in the near future.
Robert Corr, President of RushNet was quoted: "With CA Fortune (RushNet's Kehe food broker) in place, we see an expedited development path for many new accounts through Kehe in the coming months. Throughout the Kehe Show numerous grocery chains, both large and small, showed great interest in bringing Apple Rush into their stores. Two major regional Grocery Chains indicated they were planning to introduce Apple Rush early this fall. Overall, we found that the show yielded some valuable contacts that will ultimately translate into real sales. This show was another solid step in launching Organic Apple Rush into a national brand." |
