LOS ANGELES, California (June 11, 2012) – Purpose Beverages, Inc., makers of T?volution iced teas, announced that they have secured expanded distribution in the Mid-Atlantic through Avenue Gourmet. The partnership will expand sales of T?volution into greater Baltimore, Maryland and up through southern Pennsylvania.
Avenue Gourmet is an established and highly respected specialty food distributor based out of Owings Mill, MD. Avenue Gourmet distributes a broad variety of gourmet, high-end food products to retailers throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
Purpose Beverages’ launch brand, T?volution, is an all-natural, organic and charitable line of glass-bottled iced teas. T?volution is currently distributed throughout the entire Western U.S. by natural products distributor Nature’s Best, and in the Washington, DC area by Delmar Provisions. The new distribution agreement with Avenue Gourmet will grow the brand’s retail distribution and improve service at key customers along the East coast. Avenue Gourmet will assume distribution of T?volution to Whole Foods Market, allowing for quick expansion in Whole Foods’ mid-Atlantic region.
“T?volution is expanding quickly, with our sales growing month over month in 2012,” said Gerard Artavia, President and Co-founder of Purpose Beverages. “Now that the warm summer months are here, we’re confident that sales of our refreshing and delicious teas will continue to grow rapidly. We are very excited to expand our sales and distribution while improving our service to our loyal customers through Avenue Gourmet, especially since a full 25 cents from every single bottle of T?volution is donated to our non-profit partners.”
T?volution is available at specialty retailers and gourmet eateries on both coasts, including Whole Foods Market locations in Washington DC and northern Virginia.
