Shimmerwood Beverages Partners with Central Distributors to Expand Maine Market

In June 2021, Shimmerwood Beverages launched its innovative full-spectrum CBD-infused seltzer in Maine. Since then, Shimmerwood has significantly expanded its presence across all 16 counties of the state, thanks to a pivotal partnership with Central Distributors. This collaboration is set to propel the distribution of Shimmer Seltzer, with plans to double sales by 2024.

Central Distributors, a respected family-owned business now in its fourth generation, operates from Lewiston, Bangor and Presque Isle (Aroostook Beverage Co.). They bring a robust network of over 2,000 customers, ranging from large grocery chains to intimate mom-and-pop shops. Specializing in beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, Central Distributors has now embraced Shimmerwood's CBD seltzer, marking their first foray into the CBD beverage market.
