FRESH THYME MARKETS NOW OFFERING AGUA PLUS ALKALINE WATER

MAY 17, 2023 – Agua Plus is pleased to announce that Illinois-based Fresh Thyme Market is the most recent chain to begin offering Agua Plus alkaline water to its loyal customers. Named 2022 Retailer of the Year by WholeFoods Magazine, there are 71 Fresh Thyme Market stores located across 10 states in the Midwest. Agua Plus deliveries will commence with the 10 Michigan locations through its DSD Distributor Great Lakes Wine & Spirits.

“Fresh Thyme Market has always demonstrated an amazing commitment to caring about the products they source in order to make shopping at their stores more of an experience than a necessary task.” said Director of Community Engagement Gary Toma. “The model reinforces the concept of value added and providing customers with more than just the basics. That is what Agua Plus is all about and why it is such a great fit. Our product provides Fresh Thyme Market customers not only with a high quality product, but with a solution to a problem that we all experience almost daily (bottle confusion). We are excited for the opportunity to have Agua Plus compliment that value added experience that Fresh Thyme customers have come to expect from the products they purchase there.”

As a subsidiary of Meijer Companies, Fresh Thyme Market was born from a genuine desire to help people live better and healthier lives; to provide fresh and healthy food at amazing values. The founding mission aligns perfectly with that of Plus Brand which is to develop products and technologies that meaningfully improve the day-to-day well being of health conscious yet busy people. Agua Plus is the epitome of that mission. A quality pH9+ alkaline water, packaged in 100% recycled plastic bottles, Agua Plus truly stands out thanks to its unique All-Scratch!® Technology. The technology allows the customer to scratch their name, initials, a picture or any identifying mark directly on the bottle and in doing so, solve the longstanding problem of bottle confusion. This simple yet effective functional packaging goes a long way to reduce unnecessary waste and eliminate the risk of picking up a germ or virus from a bottle that belongs to someone else. 

Kristen Toma, who alongside Gary works closely to support Agua Plus retailers, went on to add, “Summer is just around the corner which means getting outside for picnics, sports, barbeques, dinners and hang-outs with friends and family. These are all scenarios where bottle confusion typically thrives. Now Fresh Thyme Market customers will have access to the perfect solution to stay hydrated, without the bottle confusion.”
