Once Upon A Coconut, a premium coconut water brand, announces a significant growth in its number of Direct Store Delivery (DSD) partners.
Once Upon A Coconut’s expanded Direct Story Delivery (DSD) footprint has been aided by agreements with the below partners, all leading DSD providers in their respective regions:

With this expansion, Once Upon A Coconut can complete its statewide footprint of New York and Jersey, adding to the brand’s existing DSD footprint in Metro New York, where they are currently available at ShopRite, Fairway, Target, King Kullen and Stew Leonard’s.
The DSD growth also allows the brand to service chains like Wegmans, Stop & Shop and ShopRite, as well as giving them the ability to access another approximately 63 million consumers in the states of NY, NJ, PA, CO, FL, KS and the Philadelphia metro area. Next up for Once Upon A Coconut, is building out DSD partners in concentric circles around their existing DSD footprint in the north east.
“We are thrilled to partner with Once Upon A Coconut to bring healthy hydration to the retailers in our New Jersey territory.

This fills the void for a coconut water brand in our portfolio and Once Upon a Coconut will bring excitement to the sales force and chain authorizations for our retail grocery partners in NJ,” said Guy Battaglia, EVP of High Grade Beverage / Briars.
“We are mission aligned with Once Upon A Coconut to assist those in and around our collective communities. The product has gained immediate traction in the NJ/ PA markets and frankly tastes amazing. The team is super impressed by the packaging and liquid and is something we can get behind,” said Andy Cimochowski, President of Metro Beverage of Philadelphia.
