Shark Tank Featured Company Becomes Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Hispanica Int’l.
Hispanica International, Inc. (OTCQB: HISP) a brand accelerator company focused on exotic brands in the alternative beverage and snack industry, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Victoria’s Kitchen™. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Victoria’s Kitchen™ is an almond water specialty beverage company based in Los Angeles, California. The acquisition is expected to accelerate VK’s growth and expand national reach via Hispanica’s proprietary distribution system.
Plans for the acquisition were previously announced by Hispanica in October as we took preliminary steps for Victoria’s Kitchen™ to join Hispanica’s branded products portfolio. The acquisition is intended to offer a unique upscale specialty beverage as part of Hispanica’s family of proprietary brands.
“Finalizing the deal and adding Victoria’s Kitchen™ to our portfolio is something we are excited about,” stated Hispanica Chairman and CEO Fernando “Oswaldo” Leonzo. “The Victoria’s Kitchen™ brand already has some name recognition due to its appearance on Shark Tank and product placement on NBC shows. More importantly, the almond water, lemon ginger, and coconut almond water products are all-natural and aligned with the type of company we are looking to build our next generation brands around.”, Leonzo said. Plans are under way to enhance Victoria’s Kitchen™ brand’s product offerings with organic ingredients, new flavors, and expanded distribution into nationally recognized retailers.
Over the past several years, alternative beverages and niche categories have outperformed most traditional mass–market categories within the beverage industry. In particular, value–added water gained market share in 2016, while larger, more established, categories failed to grow.
According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, value–added water outperformed all other segments with a 12.3% volume increase in 2016. As the market continues to trend away from soft drinks, Hispanica is focused on an all-natural exotic flavor acquisition growth strategy, based on geographic expansion and targeted product-line extensions. Victoria’s Kitchen co-packer arrangement has enabled a smooth transition, with no added infrastructure costs associated with the final agreement.
