The Alkaline Water Company’s Products Now Available in More than 240 Meijer Supercenters

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ and CSE: WTER) (the “Company”), the country’s largest independent alkaline water company, further expands its presence in the Midwest reaching 30 million potential consumers through Meijer supercenters and grocery stores. Meijer, the 15^th largest grocery chain in the country, has begun to stock its shelves with their smooth tasting Alkaline88, in three sizes — 1.5-liter, 1-gallon and eco-friendly 500ml aluminum bottles.

“Meijer is truly the gold standard for customer service and excellence in the markets they serve. They reach over 30 million people in the Midwest. I fully expect them to grow to one of our top 10 customers over the next 12 months. They run high volume, high quality supercenters/grocery stores that consumers know and trust,” stated Richard Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “They share many of our same values for innovation, quality and excellent customer service that have allowed them to become the 18^th largest privately held company in the country. These shared values have also allowed Alkaline88 to become the number one selling bulk brand in the country and the largest independent alkaline water company in the U.S. With three products on their shelves and summer rapidly approaching we will also be adding capacity in the Midwest to meet their customers’ needs for the smooth, delicious taste of Alkaline88. This is another major step in our continued domination of the top 75 grocery retailers in the country.

This partnership is yet another huge win for The Alkaline Water Company. Founded in Michigan in 1934 and still based there today, Meijer has grown to include more than 240 supercenters in six states — Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois and Wisconsin. One of America’s largest private companies, Meijer was voted “America’s Best Employers” by State 2020 and named “Retailer of the Year” by Progressive Grocer, the grocery industry’s largest trade publication.
