AUSTIN, Texas - ncarol.com -- Curly's, a Texas-based company focused on changing how people hydrate, launched its artisan bottled water with caffeine and electrolytes in February at more than 250 H-E-B grocery stores throughout Texas. Curly's was named H-E-B Quest for Texas Best Finalist in 2019, providing the company with a launching pad to extend its unique bottled water from online sales to retail stores.

Unlike other highly caffeinated beverages and sports drinks with electrolytes, Curly's has no sugar or sweeteners, calories or flavorings. Curly's was created to give people a healthier way to get caffeine and essential minerals throughout the day. The water is sourced from local aquifers, then filtered with UV light and reverse osmosis. The company adds 20mg of caffeine extracted from organic coffee beans and a blend of natural electrolytes.

"We wanted to provide our customers with a high-quality water product that can hydrate them and give them clean energy throughout the day and evening," says Matt Allison, cofounder at Curly's. "We went with a low dose of natural caffeine so people can comfortably drink Curly's the same way they would any other bottle of water, without worrying about energy spikes and crashes from caffeine - just smooth, clean energy whenever people need it."

Curly's was founded by Matt Allison, previously founding CEO at the marketing technology company, TrendKite, and Nate Pruitt, owner at Bell Springs Winery & Brewery and Growth Digital. Their unique approach to hydration came from their realization that many of their colleagues and customers always seemed to be tired and dehydrated at the end of the day, despite all of their options for water and beverages with caffeine. They discovered there was a void in the consumer space for a beverage that not only improved energy levels but hydrated and tasted great without calories and artificial ingredients.

"Curly's is unlike anything on the market," says Nate Pruitt, cofounder at Curly's. "Curly's tastes like crisp, clean water with no bitter aftertaste you typically get from beverages with higher concentrations of caffeine. It works with your body to hydrate while gently boosting energy and focus. It really is changing how people think about hydration and we are thrilled that H-E-B has recognized Curly's as such a game-changer."

Curly's has been sold online since early 2019, but with H-E-B now stocking it on their shelves in more than 250 stores across Texas, it will be accessible to more people. "We are always looking for innovative products for our customers," says James Atchley, Sourcing Manager at H-E-B. "Curly's was a finalist in our 2019 Quest for Texas Best awards because we believe consumers are looking for healthier alternatives to high sugar, high caffeine beverages. We are excited to offer H-E-B customers something different and expect Curly's Water will be in high demand."
