TORONTO, ON, March 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Amfil Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK: AMFE) is pleased to announce that it will be breaking into the US market with its first US based Snakes & Lattes Inc. location slated to open in Tempe, Arizona.
The home of the newest Snakes & Lattes Inc. location, dubbed Snakes & Lattes ‘Tempe’ has been identified and the company has made a deposit with the Tempe, Arizona landlord to open the first US based Snakes & Lattes board game bar/café. Both parties have agreed upon the terms and the lease for the location is currently being drafted and will be signed this week.
An architect has been selected and renovations on the location are slated to begin in April. Renovations to the location will not be as extreme as the flagship ‘Midtown’ location, therefore the costs and construction time will be significantly less, eliminating much of the potential for delays and ensuring that the facility is brought online in a timely manner. The target opening date for the Tempe location is June - July 2018.
The company will be renting a residential property in Tempe for approximately 6 months to house Snakes & Lattes Inc. management and staff from Toronto, ON to allow for oversight of the renovation process and a seamless hiring, training, and location launch process. We have also received commitment from one of Arizona’s most influential board game bloggers and event coordinators to join the team.
The location is in Tempe, Arizona at 20 W Sixth Street, in the old Z’Tejas Restaurant which is just off Mill Avenue. Tempe's Mill Avenue District is the hottest entertainment center in Arizona. Known as the hot spot in the Valley of the Sun Phoenix area, Mill Avenue is home to the highest concentration of cafes, restaurants, sports bars, microbreweries, unique shopping and nightlife than any other place in the Metro area. Tempe’s Mill Avenue is pedestrian friendly and has lots of parking. The location is minutes away from Sky Harbor International Airport as well as Arizona State University, which has over 72,000 annual enrollees. In our estimation, there are well over 250,000 college students annually at campuses anywhere from walking distance to a 20-minute drive from the Snakes & Lattes Tempe location.
The project has been fully funded by a private investor in Phoenix who has not only agreed to finance the full build out of Tempe but has also committed up to a further 6 locations in the Western and Southwestern United States over the next 5 years as the right opportunities become available in the targeted cities.
The company is extremely excited for the official launch into the United States market with Snakes & Lattes ‘Tempe’, and further, the subsequent 6 locations in partnership with the financier in Phoenix. The company continues to aggressively pursue several locations in other regions of the United States, including the previously mentioned corporate location and distribution hub in Chicago IL.
“It was just a matter of time before Snakes & Lattes Inc. broke south of the border and began penetrating the United States. The most important thing for the company is canvassing areas for choice locations and not rushing off into just any building or locale. The company believes Tempe, AZ is perfect to begin gaining traction in the US market and we envision many more locations to come in the not too distant future,” states Roger Mortimer, CEO & President of Amfil Technologies Inc.
Regular updates can be expected regarding the progress of the Tempe launch, and the spread of Snakes & Lattes Inc. retail locations and distribution centers throughout Canada and the United States.

About Us:
Amfil Technologies Inc. is the parent company to four wholly owned subsidiaries.

2). The EcoPr03 GRO3 Antimicrobial System was jointly developed between Amfil Tech and A.C.T.S. Inc. which recently rebranded its technology under Advanced Ozone Integration as an extension of the existing ozone technology being utilized in the food and beverage industry and integrated by A.C.T.S. into companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Sysco, Sun Pacific and many others. The system is a triple-function sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating 99.9% of water and airborne pathogens and the typically problematic pests that wreak havoc for cultivators (like aphids, whiteflies and spider mites), as well as bacteria, fungus, microbes and mold on surfaces, all without chemicals. The unit can also constantly regulate a given facility's water supply, oxygenating the water and maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the formation of algae, bacteria or mold (allowing for comprehensive water recycling), simultaneously removing the need to use pesticides and/or dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat production problems, as is common throughout the industry today. This environmentally-friendly solution also eliminates odors, while slightly reducing the air temperature, lowering energy consumption by the HEPA filtration and HVAC systems and could potentially allow for a facilities process to be labeled certified organic in the U.S.A. when the crop is no longer considered illegal on the federal level, otherwise "Clean Green" or "Certified Kind" in the meantime. The EcoPr03 GRO3 Antimicrobial System recently passed product review by a registered USDA certifying agent for use in California as well as Pennsylvania and surrounding states. The subsidiary has developed a strategic partnership with Roto Gro, the creator of proprietary rotary hydroponic technology.
