Stock to Watch — Jones Soda (JSDA)
Jones Soda moved to a new high (on a remarkably weak day for the broad market) on over four times average volume. A company that names an energy drink “WhoopAss” clearly understands how to market to kids.
Jones Soda Co. engages in the development, production, marketing, and distribution of beverages primarily in the United States and Canada. Its primary product lines include Jones Soda Co., a premium soda; Jones Naturals, a noncarbonated juice and tea drink; Jones Organics, a ready-to-drink organic tea; and Jones Energy and WhoopAss, citrus energy drinks. The company sells and distributes its products through a network of independent distributors and national retail accounts, as well as through licensing and distribution arrangements. Jones Soda Co. was founded by Peter M. van Stolk in 1986. The company is based in Seattle, Washington.
