CocoLove's Florida and California Distribution Deals

CocoLove recently added Eagle Brands, Southern Eagle and Sun Coast Beverage as distribution partners in South Florida, along with Pacific Beverage in Central California. The partnerships are expected to bring the brand's coconut water products to more consumers through grocery, convenience, hospitality and other accounts.

The company also continues to build relationships across retail, foodservice, hospitality and cruise-line channels, and has reported volume gains across a number of key accounts. CocoLove acquired 2,594 new customers through its online store over the past 12 months, according to Shopify, and nearly 4 in 10 CocoLove buyers are repeat customers.

"What's exciting is seeing consumers discover CocoLove and want to keep coming back," said Vinny "CocoVinny" Zaldivar, Founder and CEO of CocoLove. "We're focused on making a great-tasting product, expanding access to more markets and building a brand that earns repeat purchases."

CocoLove Chocolate combines coconut water with real cocoa, coconut cream and cane sugar. The launch expands the brand's portfolio beyond traditional coconut water.

CocoLove's Bootstrapped Scale and Cruise Plans

CocoLove is a bootstrapped U.S. coconut water brand selling canned and jug-format products direct-to-consumer via Shopify subscriptions and wholesale to retailers including Walmart, Starbucks, Amazon and hundreds of grocers nationwide, according to akta.pro company records. The same records show the company has operated for more than 12 years since its 2013 founding, is minority-owned and founder-led, and has no institutional capital. Its revenue estimate is $10 million to $25 million, with a valuation estimate of $10 million to $50 million and a headcount range of 11 to 50.

The records also list Ben E. Keith, Cheney Brothers and JETRO among nine listed distributors of CocoLove products. In 2026 the company secured official sponsorship of the U.S. Open tennis tournament with promotional code USOPEN, and began preparing onboard distribution partnerships with five major cruise operators: Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian, and Holland America/Oceania/Regent Seven Seas.
