Jones Soda Co. (Uplisting)
General Information | |
Business: | Note: This is NOT an IPO. This is a public offering in connection with the uplisting of Jones Soda Co. to the NASDAQ from the OTCQB Market and the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), where it trades under the symbol “JSDA” as the prospectus points out.(Incorporated in Washington)We develop, produce, market and distribute premium beverages that we sell and distribute primarily in the United States and Canada through our network of independent distributors and directly to our national and regional retail accounts. We also sell products in select international markets. Our products are sold in grocery stores, convenience and gas stores, on fountain in restaurants, “up and down the street” in independent accounts such as delicatessens, sandwich shops and burger restaurants, as well as through our national accounts with several large retailers. We refer to our network of independent distributors as our direct store delivery (“DSD”) channel, and we refer to our national and regional accounts who receive shipments directly from us as our direct to retail (“DTR”) channel.We do not directly manufacture our products, but instead outsource the manufacturing process to third-party contract manufacturers. We also sell various products online, including soda with customized labels, wearables, candy and other items, and we license our trademarks for use on products sold by other manufacturers.In addition, during 2022, we developed and began to license THC infused cannabis products under the “Mary Jones” brand name in various U.S. states that permitted the sale of THC infused products. On June 19, 2025, we sold all of the equity interests in our wholly-owned subsidiaries that held our THC infused cannabis business (excluding our hemp-derived Delta-9 THC business) in both the United States and Canada to an independent third party for $3,000,000 and entered into a License Agreement (as defined below) with MJ Holdings (as defined below). See “Recent Developments – Mary Jones Holdings and Mary Jones Beverage (Canada)” for additional information. We intend to continue to sell hemp-derived Delta-9 THC beverages and edibles under the “Mary Jones” name.Our strategy is to evolve from a craft soda company (Jones Soda) to a diverse beverage company covering additional growing market segments, including modern soda (Pop Jones and Fiesta Jones) and alternative adult beverages (Mary Jones and Spiked Jones). Our product line-up currently consists of the following:Jones SodaJones Soda is our premium carbonated soft drink. We sell Jones Soda in premium glass bottles and cans, with labels featuring photos sent to us by our consumers. We believe this unique interaction with our consumers distinguishes our brand and offers a strong competitive advantage for Jones Soda. Additionally, we release various label campaigns that celebrate our consumers and the positive impact such consumers have on the world. Our products are made from high quality ingredients, including cane sugar and natural colors and flavors when possible. We also sell Jones Soda in more traditional flavors such as Cream Soda, Cola, Root Beer and Orange & Cream.Pop Jones and Fiesta Jones (Modern Soda market segment)We continue to see a growing market in our health focused soda brands, which we consider to be the “modern soda” market. Recent growth by industry competitors such as Poppi and Olipop have shown the growing consumer demand for this market segment. In 2024, Jones launched its Pop Jones and Fiesta Jones product lines to capitalize on this growing market opportunity.Mary Jones and Spiked Jones (Alternative Adult Beverages market segment)Jones started offering its hemp-derived Delta-9 THC products in 2024 through the Mary Jones brand, including with a line of four flavors of Mary Jones sodas (in both 5mg and 10mg THC variants). Since that time, Mary Jones has expanded its portfolio to include four flavors of 10mg Mary Jones shooters, four flavors of Mary Jones gummies, and a line of Mary Jones zero sugar sodas (which we anticipate launching in July 2025). The Mary Jones line is one of Jones’ fastest growing business segments with new DSD distributors picking up the line every month. We believe there is a growing market for these products as consumers continue to migrate away from traditional beer and wine products. We further believe Mary Jones is uniquely positioned to lead in this emerging category. Backed by over two decades of brand equity from Jones Soda, we believe we offer an instantly recognizable name, a loyal consumer base, and a proven reputation for flavor innovation and quality. This brand trust allows us to enter the HD9-THC market with a built-in advantage, one that we believe most new and existing competitors cannot replicate.Additionally, we plan to launch our line of hard craft sodas “spiked” with alcohol under the brand name Spiked Jones in 2025.Fountain (Food Services market segment)Drawing inspiration from our traditional bottles, our fountain equipment and cups are branded with an engaging collage of consumer-submitted photos that are inspired by the business themes of our retail partners and the regions in which they are located. Our fountain offerings include traditional flavors such as Cane Sugar Cola, Sugar Free Cola, as well as cane sugar sweetened Ginger Ale, Orange & Cream, Root Beer and Lemon Lime. Rounding out the lineup are two of our most popular cane sugar flavors, Berry Lemonade and Green Apple. We have developed other products in select markets that include teas, lemonade, vitamin enhanced waters, hydration beverages, as well as naturally flavored sparkling waters.We continue to see growing interest from larger quick service restaurants, corporate accounts, retailers, celebrity chefs and a variety of other outlets looking for differentiated offerings in their fountain soda. We believe that Jones on fountain enhances the consumer experience, while appealing to a broad demographic. We believe our national brand awareness and customer-centric approach make us unique compared to other craft soda competitors within this category.Note: Net loss and revenue are in U.S. dollars for the 12 months that ended March 31, 2025.(Note: Jones Soda Co. filed its S-1 for its public offering – in connection with its plan to uplist its stock to the NASDAQ – without disclosing the terms. Estimated initial proceeds are $10 million, a placeholder figure.)
