Watershop

What Watershop does

Watershop (legal entity Aristeia – Watershop SAS) is a French online retailer founded in 2017 and registered in Paris that curates and distributes a portfolio of more than 40 premium and luxury mineral waters from around the world. The catalog spans internationally recognized brands such as Voss, Fiji, Evian, San Pellegrino, Perrier, Chateldon, Icelandic Glacial, Acqua Panna, and GLACÉAU Smartwater alongside specialty sourced waters (Orezza, Pedras Salgadas, VCH Barcelona, Abatilles, Jaure, Mangiatorella, Sembrancher, Montarcher La Source, Healsi, Mill & Well Krusmolle Kilde). Watershop sells both to individual consumers and to a portfolio of more than 25 named enterprise clients across luxury fashion (Chanel, Dior, Valentino, Céline, Dolce & Gabbana, Alaïa, Loro Piana, Golden Goose, Acne Studios), premium hospitality (Royal Monceau), watchmaking (OMEGA), legal services (Baker McKenzie), entertainment (Sony Music), academia (Université Nice), French mass retail (Carrefour, Auchan, E.Leclerc, Intermarché, Galeries Lafayette), and food retail (La Grande Épicerie).

The commercial platform is a multilingual (French/English) WordPress-based e-commerce storefront at watershop.fr offering unit pricing of €1.17–€6.55 per bottle with a one-case minimum, free shipping from €25, a Club Watershop subscription for recurring deliveries, and an UberEats listing (Water Shop Paris) for rapid Paris delivery. The technology stack is non-proprietary — standard payment processing, customer account management, wishlist, and UberEats integration — with no disclosed AI, automation, or proprietary platform. A 100% carbon offset program covering own-brand and exclusive products is operated in partnership with Eco-Act.

Revenue is generated through four streams: direct e-commerce unit sales to B2C and B2B buyers, the Club Watershop recurring subscription, transactional UberEats marketplace sales, and bespoke professional services including custom-branded bottles via Mybottledesign.com (Tetra Pak, PET, glass, aluminum), refrigerated "Cave à Eaux" installations for hospitality clients, and Water Sommelier advisory engagements. Pricing for B2B custom work is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence, while D2C pricing is pay-as-you-go. The company is led by President Samuel Gaubert, supported by an Export & Logistics Manager (Sumeiya) and a Quality Commercial Promoter (Damien), with the team totaling approximately 8 employees across the Saint-Cloud headquarters, the Paris registered office, and the Paris showroom at 7-9 rue Paul Barruel.
