Salt Lake City, UT (May 15, 2009) – Team Stargate Worlds Welcomes Maakoa and Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City as Partners.
Maakoa LLC and Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City will be partnering with the team, led by drivers Frankie Muniz and Simona De Silvestro, and will be looking for a strong marketing platform that utilizes the talented twosome.
After just recently announcing their formation, Maakoa LLC, which is based in Orem, Utah is a company focused on promoting a healthy lifestyle. With a broad line of essential healthful products soon to hit the market, the company is looking to begin their national marketing campaign right in their own backyard at this weekend's race.
