Yesway & Jones Soda Partner on Custom-Label Variety

DES MOINES — Yesway and Jones Soda Co. have joined forces to launch Yesway Green Apple Jones Soda, a new custom-label variety available now at all Yesway convenience stores.

"We couldn't be more excited about partnering with Jones Soda Co., a brand whose fun and flavorful personality aligns so well with Yesway's, to bring this exclusive new product to our customers," said Derek Gaskins, senior vice president of merchandising and procurement for Yesway. "We have many dedicated Jones Soda fans among our customers, and we hope they'll enjoy the special limited-time offer we have in place to mark the launch of new Yesway Green Apple Jones Soda — 2 Jones Sodas (any flavor) for $2.50. Come in and try them all!"

To celebrate the launch, the Des Moines-based retailer and Jones Soda are partnering to offer customers a chance to win a variety of prizes, including two iPads, two 55-inch TVs, four $50 Yesway gift cards and more.

From March 17-April 30, customers will find special messaging with a text-in code on the back of the bottle label of Yesway Green Apple Jones Soda. Alternatively, customers can also participate by mail-in by removing the label from the bottle and sending it in in a self-addressed stamped envelope to: Yesway Giveaways, 138 Conant St., Beverly, Mass., 01915.
