Splash Beverage Group Announces Agreement with UNFI to Distribute TapouT Through Southeastern Grocers, Inc. Across Five Southeastern U.S. States

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, July 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NYSE American: SBEV) ("Splash" or the "Company"), a portfolio company of leading beverage brands, today announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with United Natural Foods “UNFI” to distribute TapouT Performance drinks through Southeastern Grocer’s 515 Winn Dixie stores located throughout the southeastern United States and other areas where TapouT does not have Direct Store Distribution (DSD) coverage.

UNFI is the largest publicly traded wholesale distributor delivering healthier food options to people throughout the United States and Canada. UNFI distributes to over 250,000 natural, organic and conventional products to more than 30,000 customers including natural product superstores, independent retailers, conventional supermarket chains, ecommerce retailers and food service industry.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have reached an agreement with UNFI to distribute TapouT through its network. UNFI’s authorization of TapouT is a testament to its all-natural ingredients and clean label.  UNFI maintains high standards resulting from their massive natural-foods customer base. The initial 515 Winn Dixie stores represent a significant increase in our distribution reach and opens the door to significantly more UNFI locations, both natural grocery chains and traditional retail locations.  This provides needed incremental distribution coverage to the DSD network we’re building throughout the US. This is a major milestone in our strategic growth plan and gives us an advantage over the competition as we can now start to penetrate the natural food channel in earnest.”
