JACKSONVILLE, Fla.— CoAqua, a leading producer of super premium coconut water, is excited to announce that its products will now be available in all Wegmans stores. This partnership represents a significant milestone for the brand, which was launched in the United States by Co-CEOs Justin Bruckel and Anthony Cadieux II, both of whom have a special connection to Wegmans.
“Growing up, Wegmans was always a part of our lives and now to see CoAqua as a part of the Wegmans experience is truly thrilling,” said Bruckel. “Wegmans is known for its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, and our coconut water aligns perfectly with their brand values.”
Since they opened their doors in 1916, Wegmans has offered a carefully curated selection of healthy alternatives and better-for-you products. CoAqua offers super-premium coconut water made from the finest young green coconuts, providing a delicious and nutritious option for health-conscious consumers. The addition of CoAqua products to Wegmans stores now offers customers access to a high-quality, all-natural source of hydration and nutrition.
Upon their North American launch, CoAqua started their work in the community with the Bikes For Kids Foundation. CoAqua donates 2% of its profits to the foundation, which is focused on creating confidence and building aspirations in at-risk children. CoAqua also sponsors a children’s book called “What Should I Eat Today,” which promotes our youth’s good eating and health habits.
“The alignment of core values in promoting healthy living and dedication to community service is what makes the relationship between Wegmans and CoAqua so special,” said Cadieux II. “We are looking forward to collaborating with Wegmans on many community-based initiatives in addition to seeing CoAqua on the shelves.”
