Alkaline88® 1-Liter 12-Pack Will Be Available in Approximately 8,000 Stores of America’s Largest Drugstore Chain

Alkaline88 12-Pack Available Just in Time for Summer in Approximately 8,000 New Locations Across the Country

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ and CSE: WTER) (the “Company”), the country’s largest independent alkaline water company and the Clean Beverage® company, announced today that the country’s largest drugstore chain will carry the Alkaline88 1-Liter 12 pack as part of a special summer promotion. The 12-pack is already on shelves in many of the drugstore chain’s stores across the country and will soon be available in approximately 8,000 total chain locations throughout the summer.

“With the offer of our 1-liter 12-pack for this summer, the nation’s largest drugstore chain is now carrying four different Alkaline88® SKUs,” said Ricky Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “During the special summer promotion, new and loyal Akaline88 consumers alike should be drawn to the product, as the Alkaline88 12-pack will be prominently featured on endcaps, promotional aisles, and special off-shelf merchandising displays. Our 1-Liter 12 pack will make it easy for consumers to take our Deliciously Smooth™ Alkaline88 to all their summer outings and adventures.

“The addition of a fourth Alkaline88 SKU in a retail giant like this is a testament to the growth of our brand. After only thirty months in this major drugstore chain, their customers can now choose from our 1-gallon, 3-liter, 1-liter 12-pack, and 1-liter single serve, which can be found in store coolers across the country. This is a great example of our brand’s organic in-store growth that has helped Alkaline88 to become the 9th largest value-added water in the country and the fastest-growing the top-10 value-added water in the country. Per the most recent Nielsen xAOC data for the 26-weeks ending April 23, 2022, Alkaline88 grew 39.7% YoY in Dollar Volume, over 2x the category, and 25% in Unit Volume, over 50x the category,” concluded Mr. Wright.
