BAZI® CONTINUES AGGRESSIVE EXPANSION OF RETAIL OUTLETS


DENVER, CO. (PR NEWSWIRE) May 3, 2011 BAZI International, Inc. (OTCBB: BAZI) announced today that the Company continues its aggressive expansion of retail outlets.  BAZIs sales team has been presenting the brand to retail outlets across the country and recently the team secured its flagship product in 451 additional stores.  These retailers are in areas of the country from West Texas to Colorado, Kansas, to St. Louis.   The West Texas chain represents nearly 300 stores alone.  The retailers also include two regional chains with 50 stores and 70 stores respectively and will give us the ability to geo-target our marketing efforts in areas such as Texas, Colorado, and the Midwest.


Our success in closing these retail outlets speaks to the strength of the brand, our ingredients, and the only unique product of its kind in the energy shot segment.  These retailers believe we will bring new users to the category, an already highly profitable one!  said Debbie Wildrick, EVP of Sales Marketing.


In addition, these outlets have helped grow our strength with the largest convenience store wholesaler in the country expanding into additional warehouses and creating critical mass.


It is our intent to make BAZI a household name when it comes to energy shots, stated Kevin Sherman, CEO of BAZI International.  Retailers are increasingly supportive of our healthy energy shot, resulting in significant expansion of our distribution network.  We believe this growth in distribution will lead to addition opportunities for the Company.
