Really? I've heard that beverages are one of the hardest to get into. The big players will not even let you on the retail shelves.

You wanna fight pepsico and coca cola?

Good luck mate

Yeah, getting your product on Walmart's shelves is no easy task but that's the same with most products now adays. No big retailer is going to self your product if its brand new and the big players will do everything they can to keep themselves on top. But there are things that can be done to work around this problem.

This.

I've heard it's insanely difficult to get into beverages. You've got to meet regulations that would put most people off from the cost alone. Then you've gotta find somewhere to get sold, and if you're pushing a soda or a fruit juice, there's no way you're getting any decent shelf space at a Walmart, Kmart, Target, or Kroger.

Of fucking course you can start in that area and be successful but unlike OP i'm saying there is not a ton of room for beverage start ups. The food game is over complicated and dominated.

Lot more room in others areas.

>Unsurprisingly, the list is dominated by the digital disciplines. Firstly, the Big Data arena has grown a staggering amount over the past few years, leading some to suggest we’re in the midst of a ‘Big Data Revolution’. Some have even reported that the global Big Data market will be 44 times larger in 2020

If you want to stay in the food business, second hand franchising is a good way to go.

there is no 'working up', you won't get facings - ever.

the best case scenario is you get a big one-time order from wal-mart, so you invest heavy into production to meet that order, and your shit collects dust on an endcap. they never make another order. now you have a bunch of debt and wal-mart has some bottles of shit they sell for 90% off on the closeout aisle. you will never make another deal once the other retailers know how bad it went.

i guess the you can go super local and hope to create a cult following like moxie or cheerwine but good luck with that amigo.

find me a fad drink that isn't owned by pepsi or coke. zico coconut water? coke. smart water? coke. vitamin water? coke. naked juice? pepsi.
