Apple Rush's Garden Distributing Adds Pepsi(R) Beverages

BLUE ISLAND, Ill., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple Rush (Pink Sheets: APRU) is pleased to announce that its Garden Distributing subsidiary has added some significant beverage muscle to its lineup by selling Pepsi(R) products in its marketing area. Garden has taken on 10 Pepsi SKUs within its system and is continuing to review other packages and affiliated product lines for future additions.

Pepsi(R), Mountain Dew(R), Sierra Mist(R), Sunny Delight(R) and Lipton Tea(R) were added this summer and are already contributing over half a truckload a week to Garden's business. Garden now projects even greater growth as it refines its marketing strategies and outreach to its existing customer base for these beverages. The Company projects that it should easily exceed a truckload a week of Pepsi products within two months which, conservatively, translates to an additional $300,000 in sales on an annual basis.

Alex Coronado, General Manager of Garden Distributing, said: "Our goal is to build Garden's sales and solidify its position in the market as a full line beverage distributor that provides real value and selection for its customers. By taking on Pepsi(R) and its affiliated beverages we are following through on our commitment to Customers and Shareholders. We both see this as an exciting venture for our Company, and as a strategic move in solidifying our customer base by offering the products the marketplace needs, and expanding our distribution to new potential customers who also want these products."
