Developed in response to increased consumer demand for a premium
alternative to the basic foodservice and QSR fountain offerings,
Jones Soda has partnered with a number of customers and independent
distributors across North America to offer Jones Cane Sugar
Fountain Soda in a variety of classic and fun flavors that Jones is
known for.
Leveraging its vast catalog of consumer submitted photography,
Jones is working with its retail restaurant and foodservice
customers to create custom designed, co-branded fountain equipment
that incorporates both neighborhood-specific images submitted by
consumers, as well as retailer-selected photographs that reflect
the theme of each location. The end result is a stunning display
that truly reinforces the emotional connection between the
retailer, its consumer and Jones Soda, while still providing for
competitive margin levels that food service operators expect with a
traditional fountain programs. The program is being met with
initial success in British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, the
Southwest, and Northeast markets, and is expanding rapidly as word
of the program continues to gather interest from new partners.
Ian McCormick of Glaze Teriyaki, with locations in San
Francisco, Manhattan and soon to be expanding in new states across
the U.S., said of the program, “Incorporating the Jones premium
cane sugar soda fountain program has been a huge hit with our loyal
Glaze fans as we expand our new QSR concept. We are excited to have
been one of the first partners to offer a truly unique craft soda
fountain offering. Glaze is a premium high quality teriyaki concept
and we consider it extremely important to offer our customers a
unique, but also higher quality fountain offering with their
meal.”
John Chapman, Director - Restaurant, of the Langley, BC, based
Overwaitea Food Group which operates more than 140 stores under the
Save-On-Foods, Overwaitea Foods, Urban Fare, Cooper's Foods,
PriceSmart Foods and Bulkley Valley Wholesale banners, explained of
the program, “We chose to work with Jones Soda for our new fountain
initiative because we really wanted to offer something different
and premium, with higher quality ingredients. Jones is such an
iconic brand across Canada, and with their strong connection to
their consumers through the use of their localized photographs, we
saw this as a great way to engage our customers in a way that no
other brand could.”
“There has been a recent increase in interest for premium craft
soda, making this the perfect time for Jones Soda to launch our new
margin enhancing program. From our traditional cane sugar cola and
root beer to some of the more fun, signature flavors that we are so
well known for like Berry Lemonade and Orange & Cream, our
Jones fountain program has something to offer everyone,” said Jones
Soda CEO, Jennifer Cue. “And with the inclusion of the iconic
consumer photographs that we are so well known for showcased on the
fountain equipment, we have created a fresh, custom program that
truly sets us apart from standard, ordinary fountain programs. We
are very proud to have partnered to date with some very like-minded
foodservice innovators such as Glaze Teriyaki, Overwaitea Food
Group, Voodoo Doughnuts, White Owl Social Club, Delicatus, Cheba
Hut Toasted Subs, Flying Saucer Pizza, Fuddruckers, Nick’s Crispy
Fried Tacos and soon to be available in Sumo Salads across Southern
California. We look forward to expanding our craft fountain program
as these foodservice concepts continue to expand and as larger
foodservice operations look to more premium craft sodas as a real
option.”
