Food and Beverage Industry Veteran James J. Greco Joins True Drinks Board of Directors


IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - February 28, 2017) - True Drinks, Inc. (OTCQB: TRUU), makers of AquaBalltm Naturally Flavored Water, the healthiest children's beverage on the market with no sugar, preservatives, calories, or artificial flavors, announced today that food and beverage industry veteran James J. Greco has joined its board of directors.

Mr. Greco has over 25 years of experience in the Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) sector, having served as CEO of Italian food chain Sbarro (1000 locations in 40 countries), Bruegger's Enterprises (300 locations in 26 U.S. states, DC and Canada) -- where he was named Operator of the Year in 2009 by "Nation's Restaurant News" -- and most recently, Newk's -- a next generation fast-casual chain acquired by Sentinel Capital in 2014.

"True Drinks is uniquely positioned at this point in its history for accelerated growth with a proven product," said Greco. "What attracted me to True Drinks is the combination of preservative-free, attractive and practical packaging, an all-natural, zero-sugar formula, and a world class management team that has extensive contacts in the grocery and convenience store space."

Kevin Sherman, CEO of True Drinks, said Greco's experience in the QSR space plays into the Company's strategy to expand its distribution efforts from convenience and grocery stores into the restaurant space.

"Jim has a proven track record of success in growing high profile brands, and we are excited to have him on our board," said Sherman. "As we continue to drive our distribution efforts, Jim's experience and reputation in the restaurant industry will be invaluable as we break into new markets and continue to strive to exceed World Health Organization guidelines in lowering calorie counts for kids' meals in schools, homes and restaurants."
