Fast Lane Stores Add Koma Unwind

Ky. chain stocking "relaxation drink" in 37 locations
LOVELY, Ky. -- Fast Lane Inc, consisting of 37 convenience stores mostly in Kentucky, has added Bebida Beverage Co.'s Koma Unwind brand of "relaxation drinks."

"With Good Morning America mentioning relaxation drinks in a segment last week, and the continuous pull through from consumers via online sales, it is inevitable that KOMA Unwind will be a household name in a couple years as we have seen signs of vast reorders and requests," said Brian Weber, CEO of BeBevCo. "January through April are huge months for us as we reach out to hundreds of chains across the United [image-nocss] States, butthese beverage do not have seasons and consumer demand generally stays steady."

He added, "One thing that we often hear is that cold drinks sales suffer annually as the temperature drops in most northern states. As the need for the functionality of sleeping better and relaxing crosses with frigid temperatures, we recommend opening up a Koma Unwind can, pouring it in your favorite mug and heat it up in the microwave," said Daisy Ramirez, COO of BeBevCo. "On a cold night a warm Koma Unwind can be more effective than Grandmas hot tea with honey."

Statesville, N.C.-based BeBevCo (Bebida Beverages Co.) develops, manufactures and markets beverages including Koma Unwind Chillaxation Drink, Koma Unwind Sugar-free Chillaxation Drink and Koma Unwind Chillaxation Shot, as well as Potencia Energy Drink, Potencia BLAST energy shot and Piranha Water.

Fast Lane is based in Lovely, Ky., and operates c-stores and tobacco stores in Kentucky and West Virginia. It also operates several Subway and Pizza Inn locations.
