GraceKennedy Limited Signs Distribution Deal With Arizona Ltd

After announcing in January that GraceKennedy USA LLC would expand its own distribution in the New York, Atlanta and Florida markets, the company is also now advising of a deal with American beverage giant AriZona Beverages USA, LLC., to distribute its Grace beverages. Under the arrangement which began this month, Arizona will distribute Grace Beverages to convenience stores, independents and on premise locations – including restaurants and bars - across New York and New Jersey, with discussions now in place for distribution to Texas and other states in short order. This agreement will expand the distribution of Grace Beverages beyond the traditional Caribbean and Hispanic trade to the urban mainstream consumer in the US North East. Grace Kennedy USA LLC will continue to distribute Grace Beverages directly to the major retail chains in the North East going forward.

AriZona Beverages USA, LLC., based in Woodbury, New York, is a multi-billion dollar company, which makes Arizona Iced Tea, flavoured waters, juices, coffees, energy drinks and powdered tea mixes. AriZona is the leader in hot-filled beverages for the United States, and its iced tea is also the top-selling ready-to-drink tea in the United States. The company now distributes Grace Tropical Rhythms, the Grace Aloe Drink line, as well as Grace Coconut Water for GraceKennedy USA LLC.
