DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / May 7, 2019 / NEW AGE BEVERAGES CORPORATION (NASDAQ: NBEV), the Colorado and Utah-based organic and natural beverage company, today announced the national expansion of its Búcha® Live Kombucha brand at participating 7-Eleven® stores.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
- Expansion into 7-Eleven® stores represents New Age's first national presence in the convenience channel
- Developed exclusively for 7-Eleven, New Age's new three-pack is the company's first multi-pack launch and is being supported with national targeted media
Kombucha is the fastest-growing category of all non-alcoholic beverages, enjoying a 31.4 percent year-over-year sales increase in 2018 and household penetration growth of 20 percent, according to SPINS, a wellness-focused data technology company. U.S. retail sales reached $700 million in 2018. Búcha® Live Kombucha is the only major brand to be shelf stable, and its 12-month shelf life is an industry first.
New Age's USDA certified organic Búcha® Live Kombucha brand will be debuting its first every multipack as part of this launch, developed exclusively for 7-Eleven. The brand will be sold in unique three-packs at a suggested retail price of $5.99, nationally throughout the chain, and will be supported with extensive national and targeted media from New Age as part of the launch.
Jay Gregory Barrow, Head of Marketing at New Age commented, ''Consumers are rapidly gravitating to healthier alternatives. Búcha® is a perfect entry point to healthier choices for them, especially compared to other Kombucha's that can have a more acquired taste. We see many retailers creating new, better-for-you sections and diversifying to provide new healthier options for their customers, and New Age is in an attractive position to benefit from these retailer shifts.''
