Scottsdale, Arizona-based The Alkaline Water Co.’s eco-friendly, fully-recyclable 16-oz. aluminum bottle is now available in more than 9,000 locations across the country. It is being carried by independent grocers and chains including Albertsons (and its subsidiary Vons), Sprouts Farmers Market, Meijer, H-E-B and Harris Teeter.
“Sales of our entire line of single serves continue to grow. Having our aluminum bottle available in 9,000 stores nationwide is incredible,” said Ricky Wright, president and CEO of The Alkaline Water Co. “We are seeing great growth and product acceptance where the aluminum bottle is currently available. We’re already the No. 1, best-selling aluminum alkaline water for some of our major clients. Just three short months ago, I shared that our new etched-white aluminum bottle was in 2,700 retail locations and, since then, its store count presence has increased by over 330 percent. Consumers are quickly discovering just how refreshing and enjoyable it is to drink deliciously smooth Alkaline88 from our ice-cold aluminum bottle.”
“The future looks bright for our eco-friendly aluminum bottle. Through our distribution and brokerage partnerships including Natural Distributors, KeHE and UNFI, we now have reach into over 75,000 independent, regional and national retail grocery locations. With more of them currently reviewing our aluminum bottle for their next resets, we anticipate significant retail expansion for the product this year. Add to that the additional channels that have reopened this year like hospitality and foodservice, where our fully-recyclable and resealable aluminum bottles are a natural fit, and we expect sales to continue to grow,” said Wright.
