“The enlarged Best Choice group plans to become the preferred beverage distributor for many beverage brands that have been unable to bring their product to the State of Florida due to distribution issues and costs.”

As a part of the acquisition, M Line will also acquire another 20% of Best Choice Food and Beverage from Larry Skara for stock priced at $0.008 in the form of a convertible preferred stock.
