What Jones Soda Co. does

Jones Soda Co. is a Seattle-headquartered craft beverage company founded in 1986 and publicly traded on the OTCQB and Canadian Securities Exchange under ticker JSDA. The company manufactures and sells premium craft sodas made with cane sugar, a better-for-you Pop Jones prebiotic sub-brand containing real fruit juice, agave fiber, apple cider vinegar, and zinc, and a growing portfolio of licensed entertainment beverages developed in partnership with Bethesda Softworks under the Fallout franchise — including Vault-Tec Supply Packs, Sunset Sarsaparilla 12-packs, and the collectible Nuka-Cola Quantum Rocket Bottle. Supporting offerings include MyJones custom-labeled bottles for events, limited-time special releases, carbonated candies, and branded apparel.

The company generates revenue primarily through wholesale product sales to mass, club, grocery, and convenience retailers, supplemented by licensing-related product premiums and direct-to-consumer e-commerce via jonessoda.com with a subscription option offering 10% savings. Pricing on the DTC site ranges from $35.99 for a Pop Jones 12-pack to $49.99 for the collectible Nuka-Cola Rocket Bottle, with traditional cane sugar 12-packs priced at $44.99. Distribution is anchored by major retail partnerships with Costco, Walmart (650 top-volume US stores), Kroger (10,000+ stores for zero-sugar cola), Meijer, HyVee, and Circle K (~700 Eastern Canada stores), bringing total Canadian points of sale to roughly 1,750.

Financially, Jones Soda reported FY2025 revenue of $25.3 million, up 42% year-over-year, and Q1 2026 revenue of $12.4 million, up 193.9% year-over-year, marking its first GAAP-profitable quarter with $115,000 of net income from continuing operations. Management is guiding FY2026 revenue above $40 million (more than 60% growth), supported by expanded club and convenience distribution, zero-sugar category extensions, and continued Fallout franchise product cadence. Leadership consists of CEO Scott Harvey, CFO Brian Meadows, COO Darcey Macken (joined December 2025), and CMO Eric Schnabel (joined December 2025), and the company is capitalized with a $10 million revolving credit facility via Two Shore Capital and a May 2026 $2.5 million private placement.
