Perfy has secured distribution across all 207 Kroger locations in Texas through partnerships with four direct-store-delivery (DSD) distributors: Silver Eagle (Houston), A&B Distributors, Del Papa, and Wismer. The expansion represents the beverage startup's largest DSD rollout since its founding. The company plans to leverage the retail footprint to support a brand refresh launching this fall, followed by two new soda flavors and an entirely new product line. Perfy nearly broke even in the first quarter of 2026, according to the company. The brand is in early discussions regarding a seed funding round.
Why It Matters
For operators and distributors tracking emerging beverage brands, Perfy's multi-partner Texas rollout signals a scaling model that moves beyond single-distributor relationships. The planned product expansion—new flavors plus an undisclosed product line—suggests the brand is testing category adjacencies, a common growth tactic for beverage startups seeking to reduce retail concentration risk.
