Koios Reaches Distribution Deal with Nation-Wide Sports Retailer

/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VANCOUVER, July 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV) (OTC: SNOVF) (the "Company" or "Koios"), is pleased to announce a distribution deal with SportLife Distribution, which will expose the Company's products to thousands of additional retail customers over the next three months.

SportLife serves more than 5,000 retail locations across the U.S. The Florida-based retailer will be carrying all three flavours of Koios's new brand of nootropic powder supplements, and the full line of the Company's proprietary brain-healthy beverages.

"SportLife handles many of the top-selling companies and nutritional products in the world, carrying emerging brands with unique selling propositions that consumers want and are demanding," says Chris Miller, CEO and founder of Koios. "SportLife fills a very important niche in the marketplace.  They are also unique from a distributor standpoint in the way they work hand-in-hand with their vendor partners," he said.

By working with SportLife, Miller says the Company will have immediate access to a client list that vastly expands its reach and gets KOIOS products into as many locations as possible, as quickly as possible. "Our sales teams will merge to create integrated sales solutions with an intense focus on revenues and sales," said Miller.

The deal also includes participation in SportLife's new 'demo' program, where Koios beverages and powders will be sampled in store locations by staff who have been educated in the products. KOIOS will get 25 demos per month for the next three months, at locations nationwide.

"This will expose us to thousands of new customers in a face-to-face scenario," said Gina Burrus, Vice President of Sales for Koios. "For us, this fits our business model well. In a world that is increasingly digital, the brands that stand out are the ones that build tribal and cult followings by meeting people in person and building relationships at the ground level."

SportLife will initially distribute the powdered Koios supplement, as Koios is currently preparing for release of a new and greatly improved formulation for its line of nootropic beverages. That line of beverages will also be available through the SportLife network as they become available.
