Jones Soda Co. Announces Expanded Product Offerings in 650 Top-Volume Walmart Stores Nationwide

Summer rollout features fan-favorite 4-packs and a patriotic packaging takeover supporting Folds of Honor and the America 250 celebration.

SEATTLE, April 15, 2026 /CNW/ - Jones Soda Co. (CSE: JSDA) (OTCQB: JSDA) ("Jones Soda" or the "Company"), today announced an expansion of its retail program with the introduction of new multi-packs in 650 top-volume Walmart locations across the United States.

Building upon its current presence at the retailer, Walmart shoppers will now be able to purchase Jones Soda's craft sodas in convenient 4-packs. The nationwide rollout targets high-traffic stores and will feature three of the Company's most popular, high-demand flavors: Root Beer, Cream Soda, and Berry Lemonade. 

In conjunction with this major product expansion, Jones Soda is proud to announce its continued partnership with Folds of Honor (FOH) to support the nationwide America 250 celebration all summer long. Beginning in mid-May and running through November, the new 4-pack cartons available at Walmart will feature special Folds of Honor packaging. 

True to Jones Soda's iconic tradition of highlighting real people on its packaging, the individual bottles within these packs will feature photographs of military service members and first responders on the labels. As part of this multi-year partnership with the non-profit organization, Jones Soda will also fund two educational scholarships for Folds of Honor recipients. 

"Expanding our product lineup to include these convenient 4-packs in 650 of Walmart's top-volume stores is a major milestone in our ongoing growth strategy and significantly increases our brand's footprint and accessibility," said Scott Harvey, Chief Executive Officer of Jones Soda Co. "Equally important is our ongoing commitment to Folds of Honor.
