The company announced the news earlier this month in a Facebook post, revealing that Starbucks has picked up Sipp’s Mojo Berry and Summer Pear flavors. The new placements follows the company’s announcement in July that Sipp had gained distribution at over 100 locations of The Fresh Market.

Skyr smoothie makers B’More Organic are making their debut on the West Coast. The brand’s six flavors – Plain Skyr, Banana, Mango Banana, Vanilla, Caffe Latte and newly unveiled Strawberry – are entering over 1,000 new stores through partnerships with retailers including Kroger’s Lowes Foods, and Harris Teeter.

Panera Bread has added Harmless Harvest, Blueprint Juice and craft soda brand Joia to its beverage offerings nationwide, three months after releasing a “No No List” of 150 ingredients that the company has removed or plans to discontinue from its offerings.

Health-Ade kombucha is expanding its availability at Whole Foods, entering the grocer’s Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. To assist with the expanded distribution the company has brought on beverage industry veteran Ned Desmond as East Coast Director of Sales.

  • mix1 has new distribution in Northern California, having landed shelf space at Lucky Supermarkets.  
  • Bluewater Farms has secured regional distribution for its Fresh Cranberry Juice and Fresh Cranberry Lemonade offerings at all New England Stop & Shops.
  • The Pulse Beverage Corporation’s flagship Heart & Body Health functional beverage is debuting at 97 Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Markets across California, Nevada and Arizona.
