“True Drinks is uniquely positioned at this point in its history for accelerated growth with a proven product,” said Greco. “What attracted me to True Drinks is the combination of preservative-free, attractive and practical packaging, an all-natural, zero-sugar formula, and a world class management team that has extensive contacts in the grocery and convenient store space.”
