What JUST Water does

JUST Water, operating through the legal entity JUST Goods, Inc. and headquartered at 1460 Broadway in New York City, is a privately held packaged water company founded by Jaden Smith in 2015. The company sells 100% mountain-sourced spring water in two core product lines: STILL water in plant-based cartons (88% renewable materials including FSC-certified paper and sugarcane-based bio-plastic) sourced from the Glens Falls watershed in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, and JUST Bubbles sparkling water in infinitely recyclable aluminum bottles sourced from an aquifer in the Big Snowy Mountains of Montana. The portfolio spans multiple sizes (11.2 oz, 12 oz, 16 oz, 16.9 oz, 22 oz, 1 liter) and flavors (Original, Cucumber, Lime, Strawberry, Valencia Orange, Watermelon, HuckleBlueberry, Lemon, Coconut Mint), plus an infused still line and digital gift cards.

JUST Water generates revenue through three primary channels: direct-to-consumer e-commerce on justwater.com powered by Shopify with a Subscribe & Save subscription program (15% discount, 7/14/30/60-day cadence via Recharge), an Amazon storefront, and a tiered B2B Small Business Partner Program supplying offices, fitness centers, restaurants, hotels, and retail locations at wholesale volumes from 20-49 cases to 2+ pallets monthly. The company serves two main customer segments: health- and environmentally-conscious individual consumers seeking premium spring water with naturally occurring minerals and reduced plastic exposure, and SMB/hospitality buyers requiring sustainable beverage options at volume. Marketing is conducted through content (JUST Blog), organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, LinkedIn), an influencer program via Impact.com, email, and a JUST Rewards loyalty program. The company is B-Corp certified and recognized as a Minority-Owned Business enterprise, with its strongest competitive advantages being founder-led brand equity, sustainability-validated packaging, and multi-channel distribution across the United States.

Direct peers

• Boxed Water Is Better: Carton-packaged bottled water brand explicitly marketed on sustainability and plastic reduction. The closest direct competitor to JUST's plant-based carton still water in product, positioning, and channels.
• Fiji Water: Premium spring water brand in iconic square bottles, also sold through retail, hospitality, and DTC. Closely comparable to JUST in positioning around a distinctive natural water source and lifestyle-driven brand.
• Voss Water: Premium bottled water positioned on minimalist Scandinavian design and purity. Comparable to JUST's premium DTC and hospitality channel strategy with a focus on aesthetic-driven buyers.
• Liquid Death: Canned water and sparkling water brand with aggressive marketing, retail expansion, and sustainability positioning. Directly comparable in the aluminum-bottle sparkling segment and the cultural/rebel-brand lane.
• Path Water: Aluminum-bottled still and sparkling water marketed on refill/reuse sustainability. Comparable to JUST's aluminum still and Bubbles SKUs, and competing for the same eco-conscious premium buyer.
• LaCroix: Mass-market flavored sparkling water brand owned by National Beverage. Competes with JUST Bubbles in flavored sparkling, though at a much lower price point and significantly broader distribution.
• Polar Seltzer: US-based flavored sparkling water brand with deep retail penetration. Comparable to JUST Bubbles on flavor variety, format, and retail/foodservice channels, though traditional plastic bottle format.

Broad incumbents

• Perrier: Iconic global sparkling water brand under Nestlé Waters. Overlaps with JUST Bubbles on flavored sparkling and hospitality/retail placement, with vastly deeper distribution and marketing scale.
• Evian: Global premium spring water brand owned by Danone. Comparable on natural spring sourcing and premium positioning, with substantially larger retail and DTC infrastructure.

Emerging players

• SodaStream: At-home sparkling water maker owned by PepsiCo. An adjacent alternative to JUST Bubbles: instead of buying canned sparkling, consumers make it at home. Competes for the same sustainability-minded hydration occasions.
