White Rock started the post war years by expanding its product line to
include many flavored soft drinks to meet consumer demand. They became
one of the first U.S. beverage companies to offer flavored soft drinks
in cans from coast-to-coast. White Rock has never relied on a parent company/franchise
bottler distribution approach instead relying on a combination of various
types of distributors and strategically located contract packagers.
By the 70’s, White Rock was following up its success with flavored
sodas by launching a ready-to-drink tea beverage in 12-ounce cans under
the White Rock Tea-Licious label. Soon after, a fruit juice product White
Rock’s Punch ‘n Fruity along with Sioux City Sarsaparilla
were introduced in 12-ounce cans.
White Rock continued its pioneering efforts by introducing Moussy, an
alcohol-free beer which helped to establish the category in this country.
White Rock also acquired an aseptic packing facility in New England which
enabled it to produce a full-line of juice drinks in both 8.45 and 12-
ounce aseptic cartons.
In the mid-80’s, White Rock expanded the Sioux City line by adding
several new flavor offerings packaged in 12-ounce amber bottles with embossed
western-style graphics. This hugely successful line was followed up with
the re-introduction of White Rock all-natural water products in various
sizes using selected spring water sources from around the country.
In recent years, White Rock has introduced an 8-ounce line of cans to
serve the needs of the healthcare market and bought the rights to Olde
Brooklyn, a popular line of carbonated flavored beverages. In 2005, White
Rock launched its most innovative beverage yet, White Rock Organics. This
refreshing beverage is brewed using natural fruit extracts and organic
pure cane sugar.
White Rock is still family-owned and over 130 years old, but its vision
is as fresh today as it was in 1871. And it will continue to deliver pure,
high quality beverage products to meet the varied tastes of today’s
consumer.
