Premium Water Brand to Increase Availability Across All Channels
REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Aug. 1, 2017 /CNW/ -- Naturally-alkaline, premium spring water brand, Icelandic Glacial™, today announced a huge expansion in distribution across all channels in Canada. The expansion not only adds new retailers, hotels, and restaurants, but also expands upon preexisting accounts to make Icelandic Glacial more readily available to Canadian consumers.
To date, retailers that carry Icelandic Glacial across the country include Walmart, Whole Foods, Loblaws, Bulk Barn, Giant Tiger, Sobeys, and Costco Business Centre. Additionally, consumers can now enjoy the pristine spring water at Gibby's Steakhouse, Moishe's Steakhouse, and La Queue de Cheval Steakhouse, all located in Montreal.
"Together with Unique Foods Canada, who has been an incredible partner, we are thrilled to have increased our footprint in the Canadian market, making Icelandic Glacial widely available throughout the country," said Jon Olafsson, Chairman & Co-Founder of Icelandic Glacial.
"We are extremely excited to widen availability for our loyal Canadian consumers," said CEO Reza Mirza. "The increased distribution is part of a long-term trend marking Icelandic Glacial's growth throughout North America and beyond."
In addition to the signature spring water in PET bottles, Icelandic Glacial introduced both still and sparkling water in glass bottles just last year, with Canada being one of the first countries to distribute.
"It was easy making the decision to take such a high quality, pristine brand," commented Jon Silver, President of Unique Foods. "Customers love the taste and quality of the water, the packaging is second to none, and being certified Carbon Neutral for both product and operation puts them miles ahead."
