Skinny Nutritional Corp. Picks Up Three Additional Anheuser-Busch Distributors in Minnesota

Skinny now has six Anheuser-Busch distributors as part of its distribution expansion to work with beer wholesalers in the state of Minnesota. This is the 20th distribution agreement since the launch of the product in May 2008.

12/11/08 Skinny Nutritional Corp. has signed new agreements with three additional Anheuser-Busch beverage distributors in the state of Minnesota. The deals bring Skinny Water, a new, zero-calorie, multi-functional water, to a market of 7 million consumers in the state of Minnesota. Skinny now has six Anheuser-Busch distributors as part of its distribution expansion to work with beer wholesalers in the state of Minnesota. This is the 20th distribution agreement since the launch of the product in May 2008.

Schott Distributing Co., Inc. (Rochester, Minn.), C & L Distributing (Sauk Rapids, Minn.), and McDonald Distributing (Rush City, Minn.), will be carrying all five great-tasting Skinny Water flavors—and distributing them to consumers through 2,000 distribution points, including, convenience stores, grocery stores, drug stores, work-out facilities, salons, and spas throughout the state including Cub Foods, Festival Foods, Holiday Station Stores, Hy-Vee, Pump N Munch, and Greenway stations.

“We are always looking for new products that will meet consumer demand in our expanding market,” says Tom Schott, President of Schott Distributing Co., Inc. “After learning more about the zero-calorie, multi-functional Skinny Water and spotting it at one of our local Target stores, I knew this would be a perfect addition to our product line.”

Schott Distributing Co., Inc. was founded in 1950 and is a locally owned family operated wholesale distributorship founded and deeply rooted in Rochester, Minn. C & L Distributing, located in Sauk Rapids, Minn., has been in business for 28 years and McDonald Distributing has been in business since 1933. All three Anheuser-Busch distributors currently distribute Monster Energy, Talking Rain, Borba Water and VitaZest.

“These three additional Anheuser-Busch distributors will help strengthen our distribution in the state of Minnesota,” says Don McDonald, CEO and President of Skinny Nutritional Corp. “We have already experienced success with three Anheuser-Busch distributors in the Minneapolis area and with these additional distributors we will further our market penetration in the state of Minnesota.”

The Skinny Water lineup features five flavors, including Acai Grape Blueberry (Hi-Energy), Raspberry Pomegranate (Crave Control), Goji Fruit Punch (Shape), Passionfruit Lemonade (Total-V), and Peach Mango Mandarin (XXX-Detox). Every bottle of Skinny Water has clinically proven ingredients to boost metabolism and control appetite.

All Skinny Waters have three key ingredients: Super CitriMax, ChromeMate, and EGCG. Super CitriMax includes calcium that promotes fat burning and bone density, and potassium that maintains cellular hydration. ChromeMate promotes normal energy metabolism and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels; and EGCG, a green tea extract, helps keep metabolism moving.
