He continued, “We are pleased to be able to ship our own brands alongside the prestigious Save Mart brands.”
Dave Briskie, President and CFO of YGYI, the parent company that owns CLR Roasters, stated, “We are experiencing the challenges facing the cruise line industry as well as weakness in our on premise business, however, the strength of our retail business is helping to offset these challenges inside our coffee business.” Mr. Briskie continued, “We are fortunate to participate in the growing demand at retail and we are pleased to be able to leverage this strength to create awareness of our Javalution Hemp Coffee.”
