Ocean Spray has signed a licensing agreement with Lyons Magnus to make available Ocean Spray beverages at restaurants, hotels, schools, convenience stores and health care facilities.

According to the agreement, Ocean Spray will provide Lyons Magnus with cranberry juice concentrate as well as the beverage company’s juices — such as cranberry, orange, apple and lemonade — for use in the Fresno, Calif.-based company’s dispensed-beverage machines.

“We are pleased to partner with Lyons Magnus to offer consumers more choices in delicious, healthy beverages by providing a line of unique Ocean Spray branded products sold by Lyons Magnus in their high-quality dispense system to the foodservice market,” said Peter Wyman, Ocean Spray’s vice president of sales.

Kent Walrack, president and chief operating officer of Lyons Magnus, said, “Our objective is to create a positive consumer experience in foodservice locations by offering great-tasting, high-quality Ocean Spray products in order to help increase their visits to those foodservice operators who offer our products.”
