Sipp
Industries Announces Major
Hemp HIPA Now Selling at Hy-Vee Supermarkets
Hy-Vee
adds
to
growing list of
retail
customers
throughout the
Midwest
COSTA MESA, CA --
May 9, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Sipp Industries,
Inc. (OTC:
SIPC), a multifaceted corporation specializing in manufacturing
and distribution of commercial and consumer products, and the first
publicly traded company in America whose primary focus is the
production and sales of hemp-infused beer, announces
Hy-Vee
Supermarkets ("Hy-Vee")
are
now carrying Major Hemp HIPA in select locations in
Iowa,
with
plans to quickly expand to additional
stores
over the coming weeks.
Hy-Vee was founded
in 1930 as a single general supply store during the Great
Depression. Despite its inauspicious beginnings, it has grown
tremendously into a thriving supermarket chain encompassing
245 supermarkets throughout the states of Iowa, Illinois, Kansas,
Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Hy-Vee currently has 85,000 employees and generates more than $10
billion in annual sales. The largest Hy-Vee stores include
full-service bakeries, delicatessens, pharmacies, dine-in food
service, liquor and beer. Many other stores maintain fuel
states with convenience stores carrying beverages.
Launched in
November 2018, Major Hemp HIPA's formulation includes hemp seed
powder, which is essentially free of both THC and CBD. In
December 2018, immediately following the passage of the Agriculture
Act of 2018, known commonly as the 2018 Farm Bill, which federally
legalized hemp and hemp-derived CBD, the FDA certified hemp seed
powder as Generally Regarded As Safe ("GRAS"), formally legalizing
its use in the food supply. The FDA is currently evaluating
the permission of hemp-derived CBD into food and
beverages.
President Ted
Jorgensen of wholly-owned subsidiary, Major Hemp, stated, "I am
extremely proud of our beer being placed at Hy-Vee. There is
a tremendous opportunity for Major Hemp HIPA to be placed
at
each
of their 245 store locations.
Mahaska has been
doing a fantastic job with distribution and
official entry
into Hy-Vee will only open
more opportunities throughout
the
Midwest with
larger
retail customers."
The Company
also
reports that Major Hemp HIPA has nearly sold out of inventory with
the first placements of Major Hemp HIPA at Tony's Finer
Foods ("Tony's").
In tandem with distributor B&D Syndicate,
the
Company is working
on replenishing
supply to the 15
Tony's
stores
in the greater Chicago market heading into the
busy Summer beer drinking season.
In
addition, Major Hemp HIPA
has been reordered after
initial test
store placements
including
Mariano's and 7-Eleven.
Chief Executive
Officer, Syman
Vong
commented, "Major
Hemp HIPA has sold
extremely
well in
pubs,
restaurants and liquor chains such as Binny's
Beverage
Depot. The addition of larger supermarket chains such as
Hy-Vee and Tony's
are
a
central part of our growth plans and we're thrilled to be
making such rapid
progress with these notable customers."
Sipp
Industries also announces
an important
update
to shareholders on
the progress of
its
submitted CBD-infused
beer
recipe. This past week, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax &
Trade Bureau ("TTB") provided additional instructions
for
submission
of regulatory
documents to the
Food and Drug Administration ("FDA").
The
Company is actively
working with the FDA to provide all necessary information to gain
official recipe approval.
