Frequently Asked Questions

How do you help optimize cooler space for tea and RTD coffee together?

We evaluate cooler layout, shelf placement, and facing counts to ensure high-velocity items stay visible while new or seasonal SKUs get the right exposure. Proper placement improves discovery, repeat purchases, and overall category performance.

How does RTD coffee complement other cold beverages in a cooler?

RTD coffee adds a functional, caffeine-driven option alongside teas and soft drinks. When merchandised intentionally, it captures morning and afternoon demand without competing directly with refreshment-focused beverages, helping expand total cooler sales.

How do you determine the right tea mix for a cooler or vending setup?

We look at local buying behavior, traffic patterns, and SKU velocity to balance classic sweet tea, lightly flavored options, and zero-sugar varieties. The goal is to keep dependable sellers front and center while introducing new options that encourage repeat visits.

Which ready-to-drink coffee styles perform best in grab-and-go settings?

RTD coffee demand is strongest for cold brew, lightly sweetened canned coffee, and smooth espresso-based options. Performance varies by market, time of day, and shopper type; we use local insights to recommend formats and flavors that move quickly in your environment.

How do seasonal and rotating tea flavors impact sales?

Seasonal tea flavors, such as citrus-forward, berry, or lighter blends, often drive trial and incremental purchases when rotated at the right time. Bernick’s helps plan tea rotations based on seasonality, regional demand, and performance data, so new flavors add lift without disrupting core sellers.

Do you offer unsweetened, zero-sugar, or lighter options across both categories?

Yes. Bernick’s distributes a range of unsweetened teas, zero-sugar varieties, and lighter RTD coffee options to support evolving preferences and better-for-you demand without sacrificing flavor or sales performance.
