Waterloo Sparkling Water is a beverage brand specializing in flavored sparkling water, known for its bold flavors and zero-calorie offerings.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.

The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
