Enhanced Daily Waters Flow at 7-Eleven Canada

Clearly Canadian also adds two Calif. distributors

VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Clearly Canadian Beverage Corp. said that its new lineup of Enhanced Daily Waters has debuted in Canada at 7-Eleven, where it has been listed on a national basis.

As one of the world's leading chains of convenience stores, with some 31,700 locations worldwide, 7-Eleven plays a dominant role in the beverage market in Canada, said Brent Lokash, president of Clearly Canadian. This national listing brings tremendous exposure to our new products and should be a springboard to generating increasing sales volume for the company.

7-Eleven Canada Inc., Burnaby, B.C., operates 464 c-stores in Canada.

Clearly Canadian also said that it is continuing to expand its North American distribution network with the appointment of two new California distributors of Clearly Canadian products: Saccani Distributing, Sacramento, which covers Northern California, and Valley Wide Beverage Co., Fresno, covering six counties in Southern California.

They are adding Clearly Canadian to their current portfolios, which include Jones Soda, Arizona Beverages, Glaceau Vitamin Water, Mike's Hard Lemonade, Coors and Gatorade.

"No doubt California is an important state for us. Californians have embodied our credo of `better for you' products for decades, and these two new distributors will play a key role in helping us gain further recognition for our products. We are continuing to build a strong nation wide network of partners who share our belief that the snack and beverage consumer is looking for healthier alternatives, said Lokash.

Based in Vancouver, B.C., Clearly Canadian Beverage markets premium alternative beverages, including Clearly Canadian sparkling flavored waters and Clearly Canadian dailyEnergy, dailyVitamin and dailyHydration Natural Enhanced Waters, which are distributed in the United States, Canada and various other countries. Clearly Canadian's recent acquisition of DMR Food Corp. marks the company's debut into organic and natural products with a variety of dried fruit and nut snacks offerings from Sundridge Farms, Naturalife, Sweet Selections, Simply by Nature and Glengrove Organics brands.
