Jones Soda Co. is unveiling its latest innovation, Jones Mini, featuring 7.5-ounce mini cans. Jones is bringing its signature pure cane sugar formulation to consumers in a convenient and portable format as a part of this launch. The debut of Jones Mini marks a significant expansion for the brand, with initial availability in 700 Walmart stores nationwide and plans for expansion into additional retailers shortly.
Jones Mini encapsulates the essence of Jones Soda in four beloved flavors: Root Beer, Orange and cream, Berry Lemonade, and Cream Soda. These mini cans are crafted without caffeine, making them ideal for various settings such as school lunches and as a poolside refreshment.
