Blue Line Holdings, Inc.
Blue Line Holdings, Inc. is a Colorado-based development-stage beverage company formed in May 2024. The company’s current plan is to build a functional beverage business through licensing agreements and selective asset acquisitions, rather than through a large owned manufacturing platform. As of its latest annual report, Blue Line had one licensing agreement that gives it the right to sell flavored water in France under the CocoLove brand. The business is still pre-revenue and is focused on establishing distribution, funding initial marketing, and securing additional licenses that could broaden its product set beyond flavored water.
