SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Yesway and Allsup’s convenience stores will carry cannabidiol (CBD) products from The Alkaline Water Co. Inc.

The c-stores, owned by Fort-Worth, Texas-based BW Gas & Convenience Holdings LLC, will sell A88CBD ingestibles including a lemon-lime flavored water and four flavors of gummies. Products will be available in about 365 stores.

The water is made with about 10 milligrams of lab-tested hemp extract and comes in 16.9-ounce bottles. The CBD gummies come in 250 milligram doses in Tangerine, Cherry, Key Lime and Lemon flavors.

“Yesway merged with Allsup stores in November of 2019 to create a leading c-store operator with almost 402 retail locations and growing,” Ricky Wright, president and CEO of The Alkaline Water Co., said. “This is a meaningful win for our A88CBD brand and came in coordination with our CBD-focused DSD partner, BettermentRS. They will also assist with fulfillment efforts to all Yesway stores.”

The Alkaline Water Co., Scottsdale, Ariz., partnered with CBD-focused direct-store-delivery (DSD) distributor BettermentRS in November 2020. The company works with other c-store chains including Irving, Texas-based 7-Eleven and Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle. The Alkaline Water Co. is known for Alkaline88, a chemical-free, pH balanced alkaline water brand.
