Kona Gold Beverage
Announces Participation of New Management Team at SE Petro Show in
Myrtle Beach Exhibiting Rebranded Kona Gold Energy Drinks
Company submits
documentation to update status with OTC Markets
Rockledge, FL -- February 15, 2024 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Kona Gold Beverages, Inc. (OTCPK:
KGKG), a dynamic holding company specializing in product
development within the better-for-you and functional beverage
sector, proudly announces the participation of its new management
team at the upcoming SE Petro Show in Myrtle Beach on March 6th and
7th.
The SE Petro Show is renowned as the
largest regional petroleum and convenience store expo in the
southeast, attracting decision-makers and industry leaders seeking
to enhance profitability and gain a competitive edge. With a focus
on exchanging ideas, introducing innovative products, and providing
valuable educational seminars tailored to the industry, the SE
Petro Show serves as an invaluable platform for networking and
growth.
"We are thrilled to have our new
management team attend the SE Petro Show," said Brandon White of
Kona Gold Beverage. "This expo presents an exceptional opportunity
for us to connect with industry leaders, suppliers, and retailers,
and gain valuable insights to drive our business forward. As we
continue to expand our product line and explore new avenues for
growth, the SE Petro Show aligns perfectly with our strategic
objectives."
At the SE Petro Show, attendees can
expect to learn how to increase profits across several key
categories, explore ideas to expand their product lines, introduce
new profit centers to traditional store formats, and discover fresh
ideas and products from new exhibitors.
In addition to its participation at
the SE Petro Show, Kona Gold Beverage announces plans to relocate
its headquarters to new facilities in Melbourne, FL. The move
signifies a clean break from past addresses or associations and
provides the company with ample space to streamline operations and
accommodate rapid growth.
"Moving to new facilities in
Melbourne represents an exciting chapter for Kona Gold Beverage,"
added White. "We believe this move will enable us to enhance
operational efficiency, foster innovation, and position the company
for sustained success in the evolving hemp-infused beverage market.
We look forward to sharing more details about our new headquarters
once the move is complete."
The previous management harbored
ambitions to elevate the Company's status by listing on the NASDAQ,
necessitating its transition to full compliance with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting requirements. This
transition imposed significant additional annual costs on the
Company. Before the transition to the new leadership, a Form 15-12G
was submitted to the SEC, reclassifying the Company to an
alternative reporting standard. The current management team, upon
recently discovering that this change in reporting status had not
been reflected in the records of the OTC Markets, acted swiftly to
submit the requisite documentation to update the OTC Markets'
records including filing documents to request a NOBO list. This
update is expected to eliminate the "Pink Limited Information"
designation and the "Dark or Defunct" labels that were recently
applied to the Company's profile.
