DALLAS -- Some 7-Eleven franchisees in the West will get their first look at hemp-based beverages during the Greater Seattle FAO (Franchise Owners Association) Trade Show later this month.
Dallas-based beverage maker Rocky Mountain High Brands will have a booth at the annual convention to be held in the Lynnwood Convention Center in Lynnwood, Wash., on March 30, 2016.
The presentation comes on the heels of Rocky Mountain High Brands gaining distribution throughout Northern California with X Distributing Inc.
"X Distributing has a significant distribution base and will be an integral part in our plans to have Rocky Mountain High Brands available in the entire state of California," said Rocky Mountain founder Jerry Grisaffi. "Our distribution coverage on the West Coast now covers San Diego and Santa Rosa, Calif.; Salem, Ore.; and Washington State. Our presence in Washington State could certainly get an energy boost from the 7-Eleven franchisee convention later this month."
The Rocky Mountain High beverage line includes five hemp-based beverages, including Hemp Energy, Hemp Lemonade, Hemp Iced Tea, Hemp Coconut Lime and Hemp Mango Energy.
The 3-year-old Greater Seattle FOA consists of a diverse group of 7-Eleven franchisees with a wide range of skills and expertise. The association is a member of the National Coalition of Associations of 7-Eleven Franchisees.
X Distributing Inc. is a wholesale supplier whose specialty is to supply general convenience-store products and smoke-shop goods. The Santa Rosa, Calif.-based company distributes to more than 500 stores with more than 100 brands of products.
