New Sports Drinks Appear

NEWView the print version of this article

A couple of interesting brands debut in our spotlight category this month: Starbucks Refreshers, which seem to be pulling in convenience and grocery. It would be neat if Starbucks could somehow tell us all how its brands do at retail in its own stores, right? Also appearing in the rankings is Body Armor, which is close to $6 million here but is likely showing equal growth in uncharted, up and down the street channels. Still, after a long year-plus of pushing, the numbers have to come in as something of a vindication for its founders.

    agreed. I have had the same product on my shelf since July from them. No thanks.

    Only 6 SKU’s and limited distribution. Not too bad for the new guys on the block. They seem to be figuring it out and once they do, we will have another brand that is brings innovation rather than more me too’s The propsition is very interesting and once the consumer is aware, this brand may have some legs…

    Most unethical group of people in the business

  • Third Party Beverage Insider

    No…Just been watching. Sounds like a lot of people are against them.
