Expansion across the U.S. isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The Alkaline Water Company is pleased to announce that Alkaline88® products will soon be available in nine major U.S. airports and hundreds of gyms and fitness centers across the country.

The Company’s distribution agreement with Premier Distribution Services states that PDS will distribute Alkaline88® to over 800 gyms, sports nutrition stores, personal training studios, and smoothie bars across the entire U.S. These places will carry the entire Alkaline88® bottle water line, making it easier than ever to find alkaline water near you.

PDS will begin the expansion in Florida, Nevada, and Texas, with short-term plans for continued expansion in the South and Midwest. 

“This is a great partnership for both parties. PDS’s clients will be able to offer health-conscious gym-goers the Smooth Hydration™ of Alkaline88®, the Clean Beverage™,” mentioned Mr. Wright.

The Latest Alkaline88® Eco-Friendly Water Bottles

A new eco-friendly aluminum water bottle was introduced in August. It’s the latest version of Alkaline88®’s aluminum bottle. This newer one, available soon, features a modern, white color and comes in a bigger 750 ml size.
