Greene Concepts’ Be Water Now Sold In All Florida Turnpike Service Center Locations

The company announced on the day that H20 Artesian, its distributor from Florida, has been successful in placing BE WATER at all the service plaza convenience stores of Florida Turnpike Shell Gas Station. The product had been made available at all the eight service plaza convenience stores and it may be said that it was a significant development for Greene Concepts.

In this regard, it should be noted that the Florida Turnpike is a north-to-south toll road and provides convenient routes to many of the interstates. Hence, the traffic on this route may often be significant and hence, the placing of BE WATER at these convenience stores could well prove to be a long-term boost in terms of sales. These convenience stores are open around the clock, 7 days a week. The Turnpike gets heavy traffic from millions of commuters on a daily basis.

Key Quote

Brian Adkins, one of Artesian H2O’s principal partners along with Mike McMurray, conveys, “The Florida Turnpike service plazas receive a high volume of daily traffic from millions of commuters each day, and our presence in each of them is significant.  We collaborated with Florida Turnpike Services along with the managers of each of the service centers to highlight BE WATER in a way that differentiates it from other brands while capturing the customer’s attention at a reasonable price (between $1.49 – $1.99 per bottle).  This includes the use of quality point-of-purchase displays that highlight the clean look of the label along with the USA-Proud tie-in to encourage American pride among consumers when they purchase BE WATER.”
