IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - September 18, 2014) - True Drinks, Inc. (TRUU), a healthy beverage provider with major entertainment and media company licensing agreements for use of their characters on its proprietary, patented bottles, today announced that their healthy children's drink will be sold in 280 Wal-Mart Stores across the U.S.
True Drinks will now have AquaBall Naturally Flavored water available in the largest retailer in the world, announcing their partnership with Wal-Mart Stores. Both the AquaBall Fruit Punch and Grape 6-packs will be available in stores across the US starting in mid September. This brings another new channel of distribution to AquaBall Naturally Flavored water with the entry to the large volume Mass Merchandiser channel, complimenting the current grocery, c-store, drug, and club business they have developed the past two years.
"Wal-Mart is the pinnacle of retail partnerships, and it speaks to their commitment to providing healthy drink options to children throughout the country as well as the importance of sourcing products made in U.S.," commented Lance Leonard, CEO of True Drinks. "We built this company specifically to change the environment of high sugar drinks marketed toward children. Our partnership with Wal-Mart Stores validates this mission and allows for our brand to be sold at the largest retailer in the world."
Kevin Sherman, CMO True Drinks, added, "This is a time of inflection for True Drinks. We have established business partnerships with the country's largest retailers allowing access to AquaBall to millions of consumers each week. Our ability to capture share within the category and change to status quo will result in a healthier world and reward our company for offering solutions for childhood obesity, juvenile diabetes, and other health related epidemics related to sugary beverages."
