ATLANTA, Feb. 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aureus, Inc. (OTC PINK: ARSN), a food brand development company focused on acquiring and growing well-established food brands, announced today that Yuengling’s Ice Cream, its latest acquisition, continues to execute on its growth plan and development of new products.
