Kum & Go, Xyience Hand Out Harley

Retailer announces winner in motorcycle giveaway with energy drink maker
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- Kum & Go LC and Xyience have announced that Tim Nolan, a 32-year old father of four from Omaha, Neb., is the winner of the Kum & Go and Xyience Harley-Davidson promotion. The contest, which kicked off in May, offered Kum & Go customers the chance win a Sportster 883 Low by Harley-Davidson. Nolan, whose winning entry was selected at random, was among thousands of Kum & Go customers who submitted an entry online. Nolan was presented with the Harley-Davidson at Kum & Go's store in Omaha on August 11.

"We are thrilled to hand this [image-nocss] Harley Davidson Sportster over to Mr. Nolan. This promotion was a perfect opportunity for us to work Xyience and reward a loyal customer and Xenergy drinker," said Meggan Kring, director of communications. "We look forward to more fun giveaways with our customers."

While no purchase was necessary to enter the contest, sales of Xenergy at participating Kum & Go locations quadrupled during the promotion, the energy drink company said.

"I've always wanted to own a Harley-Davidson," said Nolan. The bike features a rubber-mounted 883cc Evolution engine, the lowest suspension in its lin; a chrome staggered shorty exhaust; front and full rear fenders; a low, classic solo seat; and stainless-steel wide classic handlebars.

Csaba Reider, CEO and president of Las Vegas-based Xyience, said, "Xyience is committed to working with retailers like Kum & Go to develop a unique shopping experience that results in a greater connection between the consumer and both of our brands."
