US: Clearly Canadian expands California distribution

By just-drinks.com editorial team | 11 April 2007

Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation has secured deals with two new California distributors.

Saccani Distributing of Sacramento, which covers territory in Northern California, and Valley Wide Beverage Company of Fresno, covering 6 counties in Southern California, will add Clearly Canadian to their current portfolios that include Jones Soda, Arizona Beverages, Glaceau Vitamin Water, Mike's Hard Lemonade, Coors and Gatorade.

"No doubt California is an important state for us," said Brent Lokash, president of Clearly Canadian. "Californians have embodied our credo of `better for you' products for decades, and these two new distributors will play a key role in helping us gain further recognition for our products. We are continuing to build a strong nation wide network of partners who share our belief that the snack and beverage consumer is looking for healthier alternatives."
