Winning Brands Corporation (OTC PINK:WNBD) www.WinningBrands.com and Supreme Sweets, Inc. of Toronto www.SupremeSweetsInc.com have entered into negotiations regarding the cooperative launch and marketing of branded food innovations - a growing field due to health and lifestyle segmentation, such as the increasing demand for new gluten-free products. The cooperation arises from the Innovators Community initiative of Winning Brands, by which innovators gain unique advantages through joint-venturing with Winning Brands, www.InnovatorsCommunity.com. Winning Brands and Supreme Sweets will target leading U.S. and Canadian retailers and food service vendors, who are already responding favourably to the new product launch proposals.

Supreme Sweets is a new food sector venture for founders Barbara and Mario Parravano, who have previously created new and profitable branded baked goods solutions for top retailers in North America under various brands and organizations. Mrs. Parravano has in the past been honoured amongst listings of top women entrepreneurs by Profit Magazine, Chatelaine and in other ways. Mr. and Mrs. Parravano have both been multiple food service award winners and have operated professional, unionized production facilities. Since its founding in 2015, Supreme Sweets has already established new customers in the U.S., including supermarket distribution, as well as Canadian food service sales to well-known chains. Supreme Sweets has its own production facility in Toronto and is presently manufacturing. The innovative couple are now taking their product development experience, relationships and ideas to new level via public company joint venture arrangements with Winning Brands. The contemplated joint venture with Winning Brands is designed to accelerate success for both companies through expanded reach to new stakeholders, enhanced exposure and innovative operational structure.

Both parties have executed an Exploratory Discussion Agreement providing a period during which both teams will seek to finalize an operating agreement and proceed. Winning Brands announces its Exploratory Discussion Agreements for Innovators Community projects in order to avoid rumours, openly mobilize expert assistance and to increase awareness of the prospective projects for the benefit of both announcing parties.

In such joint venture launches, Winning Brands will deploy a portion of its contemplated public financing proceeds to support innovation launch opportunities and contribute the work of subject matter experts. Winning Brands has formed an "adaptive network" model that assigns specialists to launch projects according to their sector experience. Innovators, such as Supreme Sweets, consider the joint-venture model of cooperation with Winning Brands appealing because Winning Brands focuses on revenue sharing with launch partners rather than encroaching upon their equity. Innovators otherwise find their technology or company ownership heavily encroached by traditional venture capital. Supreme Sweets' association with Winning Brands is particularly suitable because of the diversity of Supreme Sweets launch concepts awaiting realization. These include spin-offs that expand beyond baked goods or even food. The U.S. market is targeted by the proposed JV as an important driver of growth. The JV's financial objective is to maximize future profits by avoiding waste, adding value and deploying superior organizational design.
