Marketwired
SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - Aug 12, 2013) - The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (OTCBB: WTER) ("Alkaline" or the "Company"), developers of an innovative, state of the art, proprietary electrolysis beverage process packaged and branded as Alkaline84, a premier alkaline drinking water for balanced lifestyles, is pleased to announce an agreement with Albertsons, LLC to carry the product in its retail outlets throughout Arizona, California, and Nevada.
The announcement marks a significant milestone for the Company's marketing efforts of its flagship product, Alkaline84. Albertsons has been consistently ranked among the top 75 retailers & wholesalers by Supermarket News, and the Boise, Idaho headquartered organization is considered by many as one of the leading retail outlets in the United States. While Albertsons' stated goal has never been to be the biggest, just the best, with 600+ stores and over 60,000 associates, the company's focus is firmly on the customer, and on becoming the favorite neighborhood food and drug retailer in every market where it does business.
Placement at Albertsons comes directly as a result of the recently announced relationship with Cashman-Edwards, Inc. a leading broker in the Arizona retail food services market. Andy Cashman of Cashman-Edwards today stated, "We are extremely pleased that Albertsons' supermarkets, throughout the Southwest and Southern California, currently have the Alkaline84 one gallon product on their shelves. They are one of the premium retailers in the United States who are very excited about launching the product in their healthy beverage set. We are planning a number of promotional programs with our Albertson partners between now and the end of 2013 to help bring attention to the benefits of drinking Alkaline 84."
