KOLOA, Hawaii, U.S. – KonaRed Corporation, a pioneer of the coffee fruit category and manufacturers of premium Hawaiian coffee products, hasreported its line of award winning, ready-to-drink (‘RTD’) Cold Brew Coffees will be carried in over 340 Kroger banner stores in the Western US starting in August 2016.
Stores include Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, QFC, and Smiths.
KonaRed’s President & COO Kyle Redfield commented, “We are thrilled at the market response we have received for our entire Cold Brew Coffee line.
Having the shelf presence in another major retailer like Kroger is a very positive development. We expect this will propel our growth and continue to establish the KonaRed brand as a leader in the RTD Cold Brew Coffee category.
Our premium juices have performed well on the Kroger shelves over the past two years and we expect our RTD Cold Brew Coffees will fare even better.”
