Voltz Secures Franchised Distribution Deal With Card Connection

LONDON - Voltz Distribution UK has today announced it has secured a distribution deal with leading franchisor Card Connection. As a result of the agreement, the popular Voltz energy drink brand will be delivered to 15,000 retail outlets throughout the UK by Card Connection’s network of franchisees who supply stores including Netto, Budgens, Londis, Spar and Shell.

“Our deal with Card Connection creates a win-win situation as Voltz will now be distributed nation-wide by an established franchisee network and Card Connection’s franchisees will gain the opportunity to maximise the call value of each retail outlet they visit,” explains Rob Arnold, CEO of Voltz. “Card Connection Franchisees, better known for delivering their range of quality greeting cards, will now add the Voltz energy drink to their portfolio. Voltz will be delivered at the same time as the greeting cards shipments on a ‘consignment’ basis so franchisees will gain a further lucrative revenue stream with minimal additional effort and, at the same time, there is no up-front financial outlay for retailers.”

The Voltz energy drink roll out through Card Connection franchisees will begin in September and follows successful Card Connection trials of the product in the UK.

Voltz itself is a completely different concept made up of a healthy combination of B Vitamins, amino acid and anti-oxidants. The concentrated bottle of energy does not contain carbohydrates and only supplies two calories, giving the consumer an energy boost without sugar and high concentrations of caffeine. The product does not need to be refrigerated and takes up little counter space so is the ideal impulse purchase, retailing at just GBP1.79.

“We are delighted to be teaming up with such a prestigious and established franchisor as Card Connection, to ensure consumers across the UK will now be able to take advantage of the health benefits of Voltz,” confirms Rob Arnold, CEO, Voltz Distribution UK.
