Rudy Nutrition Inc. (RUNU) announced that it has signed an agreement with Collins Brothers Inc. for the distribution of its Rudy brand products. Rudy Nutrition has a line of non-alcoholic drinks which are a health-conscious option for consumers.
Established in 1934, Collins Brothers Inc. continues to be a family run business out of Evanston, Illinois, and is one of the largest sellers of non-alcoholic products throughout the United States. Collins Brothers is a highly recognized distributor that also manufactures, distributes, publishes and directly imports products from Korea, Italy, India, Taiwan, and China.
Collins Brothers has established relationships with some of the most recognized retailers throughout the United States including Walgreen’s, CVS, Albertsons, Sam’s Liquor, Amanetti’s Liquors, and Woodman’s Grocery Chain. The company also distributes its products to at least fifteen military bases. The relationship with Collins Brothers is expected to rapidly increase the brand recognition of the Rudy brand beverages into domestic and regional markets.
Founder of Rudy Nutrition, Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger, said, “This is absolutely a fantastic opportunity for Rudy Nutrition! To be able to align ourselves with a company like the Collins Brothers is a giant step forward for our company. Knowing that they are the oldest and the largest distributors in America and knowing that they have an extensive area of influence, starting from Chicago, Illinois – perhaps the largest grossing area of liquor stores in America – all the way throughout the US, will bring an amount of brand recognition to our Company that we would have otherwise not seen.”
