OKTANE EARNS GOLDEN TICKET FROM KEHE DISTRIBUTION TREND FINDER, FUELING NATIONAL RETAIL EXPANSION

WASHINGTON, D.C. (2026) -- Oktane, the DMV-based performance beverage brand redefining what clean energy looks like, has been awarded a coveted Golden Ticket by KeHE Distributors through its highly competitive Trend Finder program — a distinction reserved for the most promising emerging brands in the natural and specialty food and beverage space.

The KeHE Trend Finder program identifies breakthrough brands poised for category leadership, connecting them with KeHE's vast nationwide retail distribution network. Earning a Golden Ticket places Oktane in an elite tier of brands selected for accelerated retail placement across thousands of independent and chain retail outlets across the country.

"This is a game-changing moment for Oktane Energy," said iSupreme Watkins, founder and CEO of Oktane. "Being recognized by KeHE through Trend Finder validates everything we've been building — a performance beverage that doesn't compromise on clean ingredients, taste, or results. We're just getting started, and this distribution partnership is the rocket fuel we needed to bring Oktane to shelves nationwide."

Oktane was founded on the belief that athletes and everyday performers deserve a better beverage that delivers real, sustained energy without artificial additives. The four-year-old brand has quickly built a loyal following in the DMV region, and the KeHE Golden Ticket marks its boldest step yet toward becoming a national force in the performance beverage category.

Oktane is now available through KeHE Distribution. For retail inquiries, partnership opportunities, or media requests, visit oktaneenergy.com.

About Oktane
