Wave Energy Drink Enters Two Key Retail Markets
Harris Teeter Grocery Stores and Walgreens Drug Stores will now carry Wave Energy Drink.
Mooresville, NC, March 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Wave Energy Drink has moved into two important retail outlet chains, which will now begin carrying their line of all-natural energy drinks on the shelves. Both Harris Teeter Grocery Stores and select Walgreens outlets began carrying the beverages as of last week. The Harris Teeter deal puts Wave in 50 of their 192 outlets and Walgreens will account for a seven-store test rollout this month.
Harris Teeter will stock Wave in stores in and around Charlotte, NC, including the areas of Concord, Matthews, Huntersville and Ft. Mill/Rock, Hill, SC. The Walgreens stores, which include the areas of Statesville, Maiden, Cornelius, Huntersville and Wave’s hometown of Mooresville will now be stocking the energy drink beverage.
As the rollout continues, it is hoped that Wave Energy Drink will be able to duplicate their in-store efforts in other expanding retail markets, as well.
“Our distribution and franchisee programs have really taken off in recent months,” said Jason Wolter, Vice-President of Marketing for Wave Energy Drink. “Having the opportunity to get a foot in the door at both Harris Teeter and Walgreens is a great success for us. Harris Teeter has an enormous presence near our home base and Walgreens is the largest drug store chain in America. It’s an honor to be a part of their overall merchandising selection,” he added.
