ForceField Energy Inc., an international manufacturer, seller and distributor of energy products and solutions, announced the launch of a turnkey LED lighting retrofit program for franchisees at the 2014 Caribla and Association of Kentucky Fried Chicken Franchisees ("AKFCF") Convention being held in Orlando, Florida from February 14-17, 2014. The program will be presented to all Yum! Brands, Inc. franchisees, including Kentucky Fried Chicken ("KFC"), Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, located in the United States, Caribbean and Latin America. The launch initiative is driven by the success of ForceField's first LED lighting retrofit program installed at a KFC location in Latin America owned by QSR International, a leading multi-brand Master Franchise restaurant developer with 145 restaurants located in 15 countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

Further strengthening its relationship and opportunity with franchisees in the quick service restaurant marketplace, ForceField has been approved as a registered vendor by the Caribla Franchise Association ("CFA"). The CFA has 36 KFC, 8 Pizza Hut and 3 Taco Bell member markets that own and operate more than 800 restaurants throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. In addition, ForceField's turnkey program will be included in the USA Franchisee annual book, increasing ForceField's visibility as an approved supplier to thousands of potential franchisees.

"As the only participant focused on LED lighting solutions, the conference provides a great opportunity to demonstrate the strength of our products and solutions to some of the most successful franchisees in the quick service restaurant industry," stated Richard ST Julien, ForceField's President of its LED Division. "By offering a turnkey program, we provide franchisees a straightforward and simple process to retrofit to LED lighting at existing locations and to install new LED products at restaurants at no upfront cost. It will become clear to all franchisees and operators that they can quickly benefit from the cost savings thus strengthening their bottom-line and the value of their restaurant while improving the customer experience resulting from ForceField's LED lighting programs.
