CoCo CLEAR starts Costco Canada roadshow in Burnaby

CoCo CLEAR is launching its first Costco Canada roadshow on Aug. 18 in Burnaby, British Columbia, as the Canadian brand expands its non-alcoholic hydration line. The rollout gives Costco members a first look at the canned sparkling drink in Western Canada, with more roadshow stops to follow.

Why it matters: - CoCo CLEAR is moving from launch-stage product to mass retail sampling through Costco Canada, a major step for a Canadian beverage brand. - The roadshow puts the company’s non-alcoholic hydration line in front of shoppers as competition grows in better-for-you sparkling drinks. - The Burnaby stop is the first public Costco Canada showcase for CoCo CLEAR, with additional Western Canada locations planned.

What happened: - The Bondi Distillery Inc. and CoCo Beverage Group Inc. announced the CoCo CLEAR Costco Canada Roadshow beginning Aug. 18, 2026, at Costco Wholesale in Burnaby, British Columbia. - The first stop is at Costco Wholesale Burnaby, 3550 Brighton Avenue, Burnaby, British Columbia. - Costco members will be able to sample or buy CoCo CLEAR Original, Raspberry and Pineapple in a special Pick 3 four-pack format. - CoCo CLEAR was created as a sparkling hydration drink made with real coconut water and natural electrolytes. - The product is positioned as low calorie and low sugar. - CoCo CLEAR is produced in London, Ontario, Canada.

The details: - CoCo says the brand was built around innovation, taste and the natural benefits of coconut water. - CoCo Vodka, CoCo Rum and CoCo CLEAR make up the current CoCo family of brands. - The company says the first cans of CoCo CLEAR were produced on Dec. 31, 2025. - Mark Convery, co-founder and CEO of The Bondi Distillery Inc., said the company sees CoCo CLEAR as the next evolution of the brand. - Convery said Burnaby is the first stop, but the ambition for CoCo CLEAR is broader. - The company says CoCo has sold millions of cans across Canada and into the United States. - CoCo CLEAR is the company’s newest non-alcoholic product and joins the brand’s existing alcohol-based offerings. - The company describes CoCo CLEAR as a low-bloat, everyday hydration option for consumers seeking an alternative to traditional sparkling water or pop.

Between the lines: - The Costco roadshow signals a broader push to turn CoCo from a niche coconut-water brand into a multi-category beverage platform. - The move also gives CoCo a chance to test consumer response in a high-traffic retail setting before expanding further. - The emphasis on Canadian production and Canadian-made branding appears designed to strengthen the product’s local identity as it expands.

What's next: - Additional Costco roadshow locations across Western Canada will follow. - CoCo said it expects to see how Canadian consumers respond to CoCo CLEAR as the brand expands its retail reach. - The company is also continuing to build its presence across Canada and select U.S. markets.

The bottom line: - CoCo CLEAR is trying to turn early product momentum into wider retail traction, starting with Costco members in Burnaby.
