Long Island Iced Tea Corp. Announces New Partnership with Sam's Club for Puerto Rico

HICKSVILLE, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 25, 2017) - Long Island Iced Tea Corp. (NASDAQ: LTEA) (the "Company"), a growth-oriented company focused on the non-alcohol ready-to-drink ("NARTD") segment in the beverage industry, today announced that it has secured placement of its flagship brand Long Island Iced Tea^® in 11 Sam's Club locations across Puerto Rico that will commence in April 2017.

The Company has previously announced a broadening of focus into the Latin American and Caribbean markets, which it considers 'home markets', as they do not require the establishment of additional manufacturing capacity outside of the US. This new partnership with Sam's Club is the result of the Company's previously announced distribution agreement with Vaqueria Tres Monjitas, one of the premier beverage distributors in Puerto Rico. Long Island Iced Tea^® will be available in Sam's Club in 20-ounce bottle variety packs.

Philip Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "We are thrilled to begin this partnership with Sam's Club and further enhance our distribution in Puerto Rico. We are excited to be working with Sam's Club, who is recognized for providing consumers with quality products at an affordable price. In addition, the variety pack is a great way for consumers to enjoy a range of our natural fruit flavors in one convenient form."
