Calypso reports 50% sales increase during 2021 1st half
Company plans to celebrate all things lemonade in August
Calypso, Milwaukee, reported a more than 50% sales increase during the first half of 2021. These numbers follow a year of explosive 62% growth in 2020 and come on the heels of a successful 2019 for Calypso, which saw 33% growth and category leading sales velocity in its core line of flavored lemonades, the company says.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the outstanding performance in the first and second quarters of 2021. Thanks to the brand’s vibrant, great-tasting products, Calypso experienced record-breaking growth in 2020, and we are thrilled to keep building momentum through the first-half of 2021,” said David Klavsons, CEO of Calypso Lemonade, in a statement. “This year, we’ve bolstered our distribution network with our new partner, Big Geyser, the largest independent non-alcoholic beverage distributor in the New York area, exceeding our mutual expectations since launch. Additionally, we continue to gain distribution at national retailers, including securing shelf placement at Walmart. Consumers have also responded extremely well to Calypso Light, our zero sugar, 5 calorie lemonade line, and it now ranks as a Top 10 brand in the category.”
