(OTCQB: WTER), with products bottled under the trademark Alkaline88® (the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce that Affiliated Foods Inc., headquartered in Amarillo, Texas, is now selling Alkaline88® water in the 3-liter and 500ml sizes.\n The Company is the creator of an innovative, state-of-the-art, proprietary electrolysis beverage process. The Company packages and sells its alkaline water in 1-gallon, 3-liter, 1-liter, 700ml and 500ml sizes to over 31,000 retail locations in all 50 states.\n \"The addition of Affiliated Foods to our customer base is yet another milestone in our continued success and expansion across the Southwest. Affiliated Foods has a staggering 1.2 million-square-foot distribution center, which services over 700 retail locations across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Arkansas. The distribution center is within 550 miles of one of our primary co-packing facilities, CFORCE Bottling (Navasota, Texas), which will allow for decreased shipping costs and increased profitability,\" Richard A. Wright, president and CEO, commented. \"This is a great opportunity to expand our presence in the Southwest and our push to be the No. 1 alkaline water brand in the region.\" \n About Affiliated Foods: In late 1945, a group of independent retailers from Oklahoma, New Mexico and the panhandle of Texas banded together to form Panhandle Associated Grocers, Inc. later to become Affiliated Foods, Inc. Today, some 70 years later, the legacy of those tenacious owner-retailers is realized in a company that supplies locations in seven states with yearly sales in excess of $1 billion. An amazing 1.2 million-square-foot distribution center, a fleet of efficient tractor/trailer units, a milk plant, a bakery, and a potato storage and packaging facility are assets utilized by this generation of grocery owners. A bright future is set for the next 70 years. For more information, visit http://www.afiama.com/Wordpress/.\n The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (OTCQB: WTER) has develope...
