The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER) (CSE: WTER), a producer of premium bottled alkaline water, flavor-infused waters and CBD-infused products, has added health and wellness, CBD-focused, direct-store delivery (DSD) distributor BettermentRS to its list of distributors. The move will enhance WTER’s convenience and grocery store CBD-sales growth. Based on recent research, sales of hemp-derived CBD products in the United States totaled $4.2 billion in 2019, which represents a 562% increase over the previous year. During the same period, sales of CBD products at c-stores and gas stores grew by more than 2,275%, topping out $122 million. The research also noted that CBD-infused drinks, tinctures and topicals are growth opportunities in the channel. In addition, the research reported that CBD drinks were valued at $52 million in c-store sales in 2019 and that CBD drinks are projected to remain popular among new consumers. “We are thrilled to partner with BettermentRS to represent A88CBD brand to some of the nation’s largest and fast-growing retail chains,” said The Alkaline Water Company president and CEO Ricky Wright in the press release. “BettermentRS will provide sales management, marketing, and logistics expertise to accelerate sales for our A88CBD line of products, particularly in the convenience store channel. CBD sales in the c-store channel are booming and represent a tremendous opportunity for our in-demand lifestyle brands. Sales of hemp-derived CBD products in the c-store channel were approximately $122 million in 2019 and grew roughly four times faster than the overall CDB market. BettermentRS will work closely with our sales team to introduce our brands to large accounts, including aforementioned, 7-Eleven and YesWay. . . .As a trusted national brand, we now offer a robust line of high-quality, lab-tested CBD topical and ingestible products. Our recent product announcements include gummies and CBD infused lemon-lime flavored water for our ingestibles line and deep relief cream and bath bombs for our topical line. With additional exciting new products and flavors coming soon and a growing base of strong channel partners, our A88CBD brand is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for CBD products across various trade channels.”
