“This is our biggest win to date in the Mid-Atlantic region,” said WTER president and CEO Ricky Wright. “Giant Food is the largest retailer in that market of 60 million people with over $5 billion in sales. While many retailers will test one or two product offerings, we are pleased to announce that Giant Food is carrying six products from our Alkaline88 and A88 Infused lines in their 164 locations.
“The products include our one-gallon and 1.5-liter bottles, and naturally flavored Watermelon, Raspberry, Blood Orange, and Lemon single serves,” he continued. “This year, we expect these and our other single serves to significantly increase their overall contribution to our top line. We couldn’t have hoped for a better start to our fiscal 2022 expansion into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions than being on the shelves in Giant Food. This is just the beginning of a larger push into the remaining untapped markets in the U.S.”
