Buda Juice Expands Distribution Across Nine States

Key Terms

cold chain technical

A cold chain is the continuous temperature-controlled system used to store and transport products that must stay cold, such as vaccines, biologic medicines, and some foods — think of a refrigerator on wheels and in warehouses that keeps items at specific temperatures from factory to customer. Investors watch cold chain strength because failures raise product loss, regulatory trouble, and extra costs, while reliable cold chains protect sales, margins, and a company’s reputation.

Buda Fresh Cherry Limeade Now Available in 246 Walmart Stores

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Buda Juice, Inc. (NYSE American: BUDA), $BUDA, creator and pioneer of the Ultra Fresh category in the supermarket fresh perimeter, today announced that its Buda Fresh Cherry Limeade is now available in 246 Walmart stores across nine states, positioned in the produce section.

The expansion increases the Company’s distribution footprint by more than 75% and extends beyond its core Texas market into multiple new states, including Colorado, New Mexico, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, and Kentucky.

Horatio Lonsdale-Hands, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Buda Juice, commented:

“When we went public in January, we outlined a clear next step for Buda Juice: expanding distribution and bringing our products to more consumers. This expansion increases our distribution footprint by more than 75% and marks an important step in building our presence beyond Texas.

“We created the Ultra Fresh™ category because we believe consumers deserve clean, fresh beverages made to the same standard as fresh fruit. Buda Fresh Cherry Limeade is cold-crafted and maintained through our Fresh35°™ proprietary end-to-end cold chain from harvest to shelf, and merchandised in the produce section alongside freshly prepared items.

“This is an early step in our broader distribution strategy, and we are focused on continuing to expand access to Ultra Fresh™ beverages across additional markets.”

Offered in 12-oz single-serve and 32-oz multi-serve bottles, merchandised in the produce section.

Within Walmart, the product is available across Texas, New Mexico, Mississippi, Arkansas, Colorado, Kentucky, Alabama, Missouri, and Tennessee, and is also available through Walmart’s online pickup and delivery platform in participating markets.
