Female-Owned Hardly Water Expands into 30 New Binny’s Beverage Depot Locations Across Chicago Metro Area

Chicago, IL — Hardly Water, the female-owned beverage company founded in Chicago, is excited to announce its expansion into 30 new Binny's Beverage Depot locations across the Chicago metro area. Already in 50 other on-and-off premise retail locations, securing more space with Binny’s brand and footprint across the Chicagoland area marks a significant milestone in Hardly Water's locally focused growth strategy. 

Hardly Water sets itself apart in the beverage market as a full-flavor, low sugar, non-carbonated, all-natural, gluten-free drink with 5% sugar-brew based alcohol.  Founded with a strong community focus, the company has gained popularity through grassroots marketing and promotions. Hardly Water is shaking things up in their local market through their commitment to quality, healthy ingredients, and innovative flavor profiles.

"We are thrilled to bring Hardly Water to even more consumers across Chicago through our partnership with Binny's Beverage Depot," said Tonya Romin, Founder of Hardly Water. "Our unique flavor combinations have resonated with health-conscious consumers seeking a refreshing alternative to carbonated beverages. Consumers are quickly finding their personal favorites among our Blueberry with Basil and Lime, Cucumber with Blood Orange and Mint, Watermelon with Guava, Peach with Mango, and Raspberry with Hibiscus.”

Hardly Water's journey began in Chicago in 2021 in the home of founders, Tonya Romin and Jason Therrien, driven by a dedication to provide flavorful beverages that are as conscientious as they are delicious, they embarked on a quest to develop a clean, non-carbonated, gluten-free beverage that fit into their active lifestyle. One key reason consumers are loving Hardly Water is that the still beverage doesn’t leave them bloated like other carbonated alternatives. 

Each flavor is crafted to offer a distinct taste experience while maintaining the company's commitment to natural ingredients and reduced sugar content.

The partnership with Binny's Beverage Depot represents a significant step forward for Hardly Water, expanding its reach and making its products more accessible to a wider audience in the region. As a company deeply rooted in Chicago, Hardly Water remains focused on supporting local communities and fostering community relationships and will be donating $1 from every case sold during their current sale at Binny’s (June 25-July 8) to Meals on Wheels Chicago.
