Swirl of Ohio, distributors of Swirl brand beverages in the Cincinnati Tri-State area, celebrated its one-year anniversary on June 2. Swirl of Ohio is owned by Dan and JLynn Jewell of Cincinnati. Swirl, a line of high-quality, hot and frozen beverages, is available in schools, recreation centres, video stores and ice cream shops in the Tri-State area.
Swirl’s 100 percent juice beverages are nutritionally equivalent to a serving of fruit according to The Five A Day for Better Health Program. Swirl’s line of hot and frozen beverages includes drinks that are noncarbonated, made with 50 or 100 percent real fruit juice, enriched with calcium and vitamins, low in carbohydrates or with no added sugar.
In addition to Swirl’s 50 and 100 percent real fruit juice flavours, other varieties include: PowerSwirl, a sports drink formulated to restore energy and electrolytes; frozen cappuccinos; adult beverages; and SWIRLITE, a low carb, no added sugar beverage which is 50 percent real juice and sweetened with sucralose.
“Swirl has been an excellent second career for Dan and I,” said JLynn. “As a nurse and a mother, I’m concerned with the nutritional value of products on the market. I’m proud that we’re able to provide a healthy alternative to empty-calorie sodas for both children and adults in the area.”
With world headquarters in Dallas, Culpepper Sales, LLC was founded in 2003 to market, sell and support the Swirl brand. The company offers distributorships to entrepreneurial, sales-minded individuals who want an opportunity which affords them complete autonomy. Distributors derive their income from the sale of drink mixes to the businesses in which they have placed machines.
