Apple Rush Earns Organic & Kosher Certs., ATO Show Highlights.
Business Wire "US Press Releases "
BLUE ISLAND, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RushNet, Inc's (RSHN.PK) Apple Rush division last week passed both its Organic and Kosher Certification inspections, allowing all its pre-sold orders to be released.
Apple Rush Company personnel recently sampled Apple Rush at the All Things Organic (ATO) Trade Show in Chicago May 6-8. The heavily attended show was running concurrent with Grocery industry's FMI and United Produce Shows, as well as the Spring Fancy Food Show, where buyers from all channels crowded the booth and showed major interest in both the bottle and the forthcoming can line. With Apple Rush Company's beverages now fully credentialed, all doors are open to the expanding product line. The company's personnel saw that full potential at the ATO Show with buyers from large and smaller regional grocery, natural and specialty food chains agreeing to take the line on now. The company also received unexpected interest from foodservice buyers, both in the U.S. and overseas.
There was much foreign interest in the Organic Apple Rush line. A South Korean foodservice company, who servers one million meals a day, said they wanted the line as well as a major Japanese beverage distributor is looking to make a commitment to import the line. A key distributor with strong ties to a major food & beverage company who covers all the Caribbean and Central America was clearly interested developing its Organic program with Apple Rush as its centerpiece. There was also a serious inquiry from a high ranking U.S. Military Procurement Officer for developing a worldwide distribution program for the Organic Apple Rush line.
Robert Corr, President of RushNet and Apple Rush Company stated: "This was a certainly a busy show for us, surprising in some ways; I wasn't expecting to see the foodservice buyers until the National Restaurant Show in Chicago this weekend. The foreign foodservice interest was something special for a new beverage like ours, and I wouldn't be surprised if the volume of the can line exceeds the bottle line by early fall. Filling pre-sold orders from distributors in the Midwest, Southwest, California, the Northwest as well as Western & Eastern Canada, and Puerto Rico, will require us to have additional production runs sooner than we expected."
The company also stated that it has added new personnel who will strengthen the operation across the board. A Regional Sales Manager experienced in Metro-Chicago beverage sales has also been added. He will be making Headquarter calls at major grocery and independent chains to gain penetration into the various tiers of grocery distribution. Garden Beverage will handle a good amount of the distribution for those chains that authorize the Organic Apple Rush line.

Japan is the initial target market for RushNet's sales of their new beverage, Deep Ocean Water from Hawaii.
Hawaiian Deep Ocean Water is harvested from 600 meters - 2,000 feet below the Ocean surface off Oahu, Hawaii, where the water has been protected from the influences of the toxic environment of the Earth's surface. This remarkably pure resource is considered the healthiest source of water available today. It undergoes state of the art desalinization and R/O treatment on station, and is securely shipped to RushNet Inc. in 5,200 gallon flexitank lined containers. Link to DO Water process: http://www.hookline.com/ewater/DOHawaiikeynote.pdf
Japan is the ultimate test market for beverages; it has six million vending machines and 40,000-plus convenience stores. The result is about 1,000 new drink products released every year, making Japan's beverage market among the most crowded in the world. Hit drinks can sell half a billion cans a year. The approach has made Japan into a kind of world-wide beverage testing ground, says Gary Hemphill, managing director of the Beverage Marketing Corp. in New York.
Japan has a prolonged interest in beverages that are energy and health enhancers. In the U.S., soft-drinks makers usually conduct years of consumer research before launching a product. Japanese producers do limited research, throw new varieties on the shelves and see what happens.
Minoru Matsumoto, a senior officer at Seven & I Holdings Co. -- Japan's biggest convenience-store operator and the owner of 7-Eleven stores world-wide says it is typical for Japanese customers to become bored with drinks faster than ever.
To keep up with this constant desire for new products, convenience-store chains demand beverage makers provide them with unique -- and sometimes exclusive -- products. Advanced in-store technology tracks sales daily, and flops are pulled from the shelves in as little as three weeks. The power of the convenience stores is so great that they sometimes charge drink makers "placement fees" to secure prime real estate in the drinks aisle.
Pressure to maintain the right image with consumers and a good standing with retailers pushes beverage makers to launch hundreds of new drinks a year.
"It's becoming a self-perpetuating system," says Dave McCaughan, executive vice president at marketing communications company McCann Erickson Japan, a part of Interpublic Group of Cos.' McCann Worldgroup. "The whole industry is just geared towards new products, new products, new products."
This is a smart move for Rushnet. Japan's beverage industry is well developed and Deep Ocean Water is the type of product consumers are willing to try in a country where brand loyalty is almost non-existent.

For those of us who have had the private conversation... to see RBCM sitting at .02 is somewhat more than encouraging. For those who do not know what I am talking about...

Yes, I did see RBCM has backed off of the ask. They usually do that when they are expecting news. Unfortunately earlier this week, they were at .03. It did not take them long to jump back in Tuesday. Lets hope this time they stay out of the way long enough to print some 9's or dare we hope.... 10's? GLTA.

Well there are alot of Jews that eat organic and kosher foods so I would suspect it could be quite a big market. Especially when you start dealing with geographical locations and demographic.

Fridays are usually a bit slow. However FAGI let a of lucky winners in at 6 today. Holding for the next pr cycle and see if Bob is going to show us the money. If he does, I think it will be stunning where AR is going in a short time.

I just reorderd some ARR and RC online. I called and checked with the company to make sure it went thru and also asked when the new flavors might be available online. The lady went and asked and was told, they hope next week. That would be great as some of the new flavors are really great. I hope to see that next week then.

I was really surprised Wit by how good it was. Hopefully next week I can order it. In the meantime, I will suffer along with ARR (Not that the wife is going to let me have any) and my RC.

Just wanted to provide you guys with a little FYI. I invested in this stock last year along with other people who all lost their shirts over this one. This stock moves up more by hype than anything else. Although it is understood that penny stocks are very volatile, this one takes the cake. Please proceed with caution.

This one takes the cake? I can name hundreds of pinks worse than this.
Thanks for your valued insight. We'd all lost without it.

Oh no.... Key is here now as well. Not enough that he has completely disrupted IHUB, but now he comes back here as well. This bodes well guys, Tinman is back.
BTW Tinman, you don't lose or gain anything until you sell. Haven't done that yet, so the jury is still out on my shirt or new bass boat.
Darn, no iggy function here. Drat....
