Local Edinburgh drinks company launches in Co-op stores

Bon Accord soft drinks.

Customers are able to support the brand by buying Rhubarb Soda, Cloudy Lemonade and Ginger Beer in their local Co-op stores.

Bon Accord co-founder Karen Knowles said: “We know our customers are always looking for something new to try, so it’s great that they have the opportunity to pick up a Bon

Accord when they’ve popped into Co-op to get their daily essentials.

“People are embracing alcohol-free drinks and are becoming more conscious about what they’re consuming, so we see a real opportunity in the market to offer them something

aside from your standard, sugar-laden juice.

Nathan Burrough, the other co-founder of Bon Accord said: “As a society we are becoming more discerning – seeking out new brands and buying from small businesses and it’s

brilliant that Co-op are looking at what emerging brands might appeal to their customers.

He added: “And while we are a smaller producer than many other premium soft drinks companies, we’re confident that that our flavours and quality can compete with the big guys

in the supermarket”

Bon Accord is a Scottish family soft drinks company, originally set up in 1903 by the current owner's Great-Great-Grandfather Karen Knowles. For over 100 years Bon Accord found

a place in the hearts of the nation before operations closed in 2000.

Back after 16 years, our drinks are made with high quality ingredients and are all 100% naturally sweetened with coconut nectar and fruit juice, with no refined sugar or artificial

sweeteners.
