“As a result of continued growth in the United States and successful expansion into Mexico, we are now accelerating our growth into Canada,” said Ricky Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “We’ve found a great Canadian partner in R&M Royal Palms Beverage Co. that will enable us to continue our international expansion. They have a leadership team with extensive experience in the beverage industry and a focus on independent ‘better-for-you’ beverage brands. They also have a network of thousands of stores, as well as e-commerce and home delivery platforms, and will market our brand to tens of thousands of other potential clients. Through R&M’s efforts, we look forward to introducing Deliciously Smooth™ Alkaline88® and A88 Infused® to Canada. Sales meetings have already been set and we are excited for our first entry into the Canadian markets.”
“Alkaline88® is the most exciting and innovative water to hit the market in a long time,” said Michael Gerstner, CEO of R&M Royal Palms Beverage Company, Ltd. “We believe that Alkaline88 will open an entirely new platform in the water category. The water’s alkalinity and the Himalayan salt, plus the clean crisp refreshing taste will excite the Canadian market and bring some long-awaited growth to the category. It’s a pleasure to bring Alkaline88® to market in Canada.”
