Barfresh Food Group, Inc. (otcqb:BRFH), has been on the move in recent months moving up off $.55 lows to recent highs near $0.75.
BRFH made a big move at the end of last year after the Company announced a number of exciting developments including an exclusive sales agreement with PepsiCo North America Beverages.
Barfresh Food Group Inc (OTCMKTS:BRFH) is a developer, manufacturer and distributor of ready-to-blend beverages, including smoothies, shakes and frappes, primarily for restaurant chains and the foodservice industry. The company’s proprietary, patented and patent pending system uses portion-controlled pre-packaged beverage ingredients that deliver freshly made frozen beverages that are quick, cost efficient, better for you and without waste.
PepsiCo North America Beverages, a division of PepsiCo, Inc., is the exclusive sales representative in North America within the foodservice channel for Barfresh’s full line of beverages. In addition, Barfresh has an exclusive distribution partnership with the leading food distributor in North America.
Barfresh beverages are pre-portioned, pre-packaged and perfectly consistent every time. The blended line of smoothies, shakes, and frappes contain no preservatives and no artificial flavors or colors, are gluten free, kosher certified and the smoothies are made with real fruit. The Barfresh process reduces operating costs by requiring only a blender, reduces labor, and eliminates waste, creating higher profit margins for operators.
In August BRFH announced an update on recent business developments; among other things the Company said they have added over 500 new customers and have begun shipping to 137 new customers during the month of July.
The Company has continued to expand distribution agreement with the nation’s leading food distributor, and products have now been rolled out to 30 (of the 74) regional locations in 17 states. During July, the Company began selling products to new customers including a regional foodservice facilities operator in the Southeast, a Houston based deli sandwich chain, a number of schools and Universities, and a number of travel and entertainment locations.
