Reed's, Inc. (NASDAQ: REED), maker of the top-selling sodas in natural food stores nationwide, today announced the launch of its products into the greater Las Vegas, NV marketplace with Johnson Brothers, one of the country's top wine and liquor distributors with a very successful non-alcoholic products division.

Chris Reed, CEO, states, "Las Vegas is a tourist destination for people from around the world. It's a great place to create awareness and trial for our beverages. We have had a modest presence in select supermarkets and natural food stores for years. It's exciting to finally expand the Reed's and Virgil's portfolio of brands into the broader marketplace through our partnership with Johnson Brothers. They have a very successful track record selling and distributing some of the most recognizable alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands in the US. We are thrilled to be partnered with the leading distribution player in the greater Las Vegas market."
