“"It is amazing how a small vision can grow so fast," said John Paysor, EVP of United Beverage Group "Nu South Lemonade started only a few years ago and in just a small amount of time has grown into a household name. The success of Nu South Lemonade that was started in the south is due to the key elements of our professional organization and the unique taste of the product that we deliver to our 30,000 + retail partners.  As Nu South Lemonade expands to the west coast, I look forward to success and a quality partnership with 99¢ Only Stores.”
