Thursday February 25, 8:40 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Urban Juice & Soda: Jones Authorized in 62 Target Stores VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 1999-- Urban Juice(VSE:UJS. - news) Urban Juice & Soda Company Ltd. (the ''Company'' or ''Urban''), makers of Jones Soda (''Jones''), is pleased to announce that this week it is launching Jones in all 62 Target stores in the Northern California region. Target is a national department/grocery chain of 820 stores across the United States. Target is owned by the Dayton Hudson Corporation, a US$20.4 Billion revenue company based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Target (Northern California) approached Jones Soda in 1998, requesting the brand for the 62 stores in their region. A broader Jones distribution network was first required to be established in order to properly service the 62 Northern California stores. This was accomplished by early 1999 and the authorization and launch of Jones, in 10 flavors, in Target is happening this week. Peter van Stolk, President & C.E.O., commented, ''we are extremely excited by being approached by Target and with this first authorization of the brand in a U.S. national chain. Authorization of Jones in Target represents the first foray into a much higher volume channel of trade with the ability to reach many more consumers. With a strong performance of Jones in the Northern California stores, we plan to leverage this opportunity across additional Target stores across the U.S.'' The Vancouver Stock Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy of the content of the information herein.
