Online sales from Amazon and the Company’s two e-commerce sites also continue to see an increase in sales. The Company has begun shipping directly from its co-packers to distributors in order to cut down lead times and reduce shipping costs as it ramps up production on its Kona Gold Hemp Energy Drinks and HighDrate CBD Energy Waters to meet demand.
