The Alkaline Water Company Adds Alkaline88® Shaq Paq to 160+ Lidl East Coast Stores Across 9 States

Alkaline88’s Two Liter Shaq Paq Joins Their One Gallon Bottle at Lidl Grocery Stores

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ and CSE: WTER) (the “Company”), the country’s largest independent alkaline water company and the Clean Beverage® company, is pleased to announce that in addition to carrying the Alkaline88® 1-Gallon, Lidl grocery stores are adding the Shaq Paq (six 2 Liter bottles per box) to all its U.S. stores. Lidl is one of the nation’s fastest-growing grocery banners and since establishing its U.S. headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, in 2015, has opened more than 160 stores along the East Coast. The addition of The Shaq Paq will give millions of consumers on the East Coast an opportunity to enjoy Shaq’s favorite bottle, the gym and refrigerator-friendly 2-liter.

“The addition of the Shaq Paq to Lidl’s stores is a tribute to both the power of our brand and our brand ambassador Shaquille O’Neal,” said Ricky Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “Lidl is already a great partner of ours and we are thrilled that they are adding the Shaq Paq to their stores. Lidl is one of the fastest growing grocers in the country and in 2020 came in first on the National Retail Federation (NRF)/Kantar 2020 Hot 100 Retailers list of the fastest-growing retail companies. Lidl was also ranked a top three U.S. supermarket in USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards in 2021. The 2-liter size is unique and we believe the perfect size for Alkaline88 consumers. Our online reviews have indicated that it is perfect for both the refrigerator and the gym.”

“I joined the Alkaline88 team eight months ago and we already have a premium product collaboration that we’re proud of,” said Mr. O’Neal. “We’re excited to see it hit the shelves so people can enjoy it as much as I do. The 2-litre bottles are the perfect size for hydrating throughout the day,” O’Neal continued, “and I think the Shaq Paq will create a lot of new Alkaline88 drinkers, because we got the most important thing right – the water.”

“This is just one of many of the success stories that Alkaline88 will have in 2022 as more and more of our national and regional banners will be adding new SKUs,” continued Mr. Wright. “Organic growth and brand acceleration have been key ingredients to our continued success. We want to thank both Lidl and Shaquille O’Neal for this opportunity in one of the most densely populated areas of the country. Consumer retention after the first trial of Alkaline88 is very strong, and with the Shaq Paq’s 2-Liter bottle now available to Lidl shoppers, a whole new group of Lidl fans will soon come to love Alkaline88.”
