A.I.S. Resources Limited Provides Update on Buda Juices LLC Investment
Vancouver, British Columbia – June 2, 2016 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX – NEX: AIS.H) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to provide an update on its Buda Juice LLC investment.
Buda Juice has demonstrated significant growth since AIS’s investment in 2015 growing from 2 outlets in January 2015 to 24 store locations and 2 central kitchens currently in operation. This impressive growth has been fueled by both Canadian and USA operations of Buda Juice.
Buda Juice Canada has expanded to 10 stores in the Greater Toronto Area. Buda Juice Canada’s partnership with Longos, and Sobeys, Toronto’s most prestigious grocery chains is similar to Starbucks’ highly successful store within a store model. In November 2015 Buda Juice Canada opened its Toronto central kitchen able to service 25+ stores in the Greater Toronto Area.
Travis Bell, Buda Juice Canada’s CEO, and founder of Arthur’s Juice stated “We are very pleased with the progress of Buda Juice Canada and are excited about upcoming store openings.”
Buda Juice LLC has opened 14 stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, including one at the world renowned Cooper Clinic’s Craig Ranch, with two more stores slated to open in June, two more in July and a full pipeline of more stores in the coming months including a Rice Village store which will be Buda Juice’s first Houston store. In July 2015 it opened its state-of-the-art refrigerated central kitchen in Dallas with the capacity to service 100+ locations in Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio.
Horatio Lonsdale Hands, CEO of Buda Juice LLC said “Our top priority is quality, safety and customer satisfaction which generates high repeat business all of which has helped build our company with its brilliant team of juicers and ambassadors into what we believe is the new category leader in the raw, organic, “unprocessed’ retail store juice market in North America.”
Martyn Element, CEO of AIS said, “We are delighted to see the progress of Buda Juice and AIS is extremely happy with its investment. We look forward to another year of strong company growth and the expansion of the company in both Canada and the U.S.”
