Barfresh to be the Only Smoothie Offering Served at Each Venue
Host 4.5 Million Visitors Annually

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barfresh Food Group, Inc. (OTCQB:BRFH), a developer, manufacturer, and distributor of frozen, ready-to-blend beverages, announced that it has entered into a multi-year contract with Evelyn Hill, Inc. who is the exclusive foodservice provider for the National Park Service at the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island in New York City to offer Barfresh’s smoothies at three prime foodservice locations beginning in April.  Each location will leverage the Barfresh brand and signage at the locations’ onsite foodservice venues, which host some 4.5 million visitors annually at the world famous landmarks.  Barfresh and Evelyn Hill expect to serve hundreds of thousands of servings to this worldwide tourist population. 

“The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are iconic American landmarks that symbolize the Nation’s independence and the people who immigrated that make up the Country’s fabric.  We are proud to partner with the National Park Service to offer our beverage solution to its visitors.  Their foodservice contractor, Evelyn Hill, has made a significant commitment to healthy eating and each of its on-site cafés have already shifted in response to consumer demand, offering a health conscious menu focused on high-quality, organic ingredients.  The addition of two flavors of Barfresh’s all-natural smoothies are a logical extension of their menu and will provide an additional profit center as well.  Similar to our recent agreements at the Pepsi Center and Aquarium of the Pacific, we continue to build our presence in alternative foodservice venues that offer a unique opportunity for Barfresh to both develop its brand and gain exposure from the high-volume of visitors,” commented Riccardo Delle Coste, Barfresh’s Chief Executive Officer.
