Flavored Alkaline 88 Water Headed to 10,000 Stores!

SHARE

The Alkaline Water Company’s A88(TM) Flavored-Infused Waters Receive Firm Commitments From Over 10,000 Stores Nationwide.

We’ve been saying for some time that the flavored-version of the wildly popular Alkaline88, which has sold over $115 million (wholesale) since launching – could match or even outsell the plain version. And without cannibalizing sales of the plain.

We can envision a shopper picking up a gallon of A88 and a six-pack of the flavored, for when they want to taste some orange, peach or watermelon. Can you argue with our logic? Then add in single flavored purchases at stores like Chevron-Extra mile and we are looking at years of potential growth.

Think of Hint Water, Vitamin Water or even Sparkling Ice.

This is huge and when we originally envisioned years back that someday A88 would announce coming out in flavors and smaller bottles – we also envisioned the stock zooming higher quickly getting revalued. But it hasn’t and therein lies opportunity.
