I'm in AQCB since the morning, just a hunch and this old press release from this site aquaclara.com AQUA CLARA ANNOUNCES DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH WINN DIXIE STORES (August 12, 1999 - Clearwater, FL) Aqua Clara Bottling and Distribution, Inc. (OTC BB: AQCB) has announced they have begun distribution to Winn Dixie and Winn Dixie Marketplace stores throughout 12 counties in Florida. Winn Dixie (NYSE: WIN) currently operates 1200 stores throughout 14 states and claims over two million customers each day. Aqua Clara has entered into an agreement to promote their product throughout the Central Florida area, and is looking to expand on the number of stores and locations as the demand for the product increases. Initially, the agreement encompasses approximately 10% of their total store locations. The current counties in which Winn Dixie will be offering Aqua Clara 800% oxygen enriched premium bottled water include Flagler, Volusia, Seminole, Brevard, Indian River, St Lucie, Marion, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Sumter and Citrus. Mr. E.J. Mersis, Aqua Clara's new CEO stated "We are very excited to be partnering with Winn Dixie and realize they have the type of distribution network we need in order to increase our share of the bottled water market. We believe that being able to offer our 800% oxygen enriched water in it's new 6-pack format to such a large number of consumers will have a tremendous impact on our sales. Aqua Clara has been very active in its retail distribution, and with the addition of Mr. Mersis and his broad knowledge of product branding, the Company is expected to accelerate its efforts in this area in the coming months. "We have had a great deal of new interest generated by people who have read about oxygen-enriched water in the recent Sports Illustrated article, and feel this additional exposure has helped to fuel the demand for our product", Mr. Mersis added. Aqua Clara is presently distributed throughout the northeast and mid-Atlantic states through Eagle Diversified, Inc., in Texas through Whole Foods and West Texas Beverage, and throughout Florida the product is available in select Walgreens, General Nutrition Centers, Chamberlains and now select Winn Dixie stores. Aqua Clara has also introduced international shipping by becoming the exclusive bottled water for Anthony's Key Resort, a top-ten rated dive resort located in the Bay Island, Honduras.
