HTeaO
Fort Worth-based HTeaO said it opened nine more stores during the fourth quarter of 2024, according to a press release.
In addition to Texas, the stores opened in Oklahoma and Texas, capping off what it said was a “milestone year” for the brand.
"With the addition of these nine stores, we are closing out 2024 on a strong note, bringing our high-quality iced teas and exceptional guest experience to even more communities,” said Justin Howe, co-founder and CEO, in a statement.
“Together, we’re not just growing our presence — we’re fostering meaningful connections in every community we serve, working toward making HTeaO a beloved household name nationwide."
The list of new stores opened in Q4 includes:
- North Richland Hills
- Gardner, Kansas
- Katy
- Norman, Oklahoma
- Kyle, Texas
- Oklahoma City
- Sulphur Springs
- San Antonio
- Lampasas
HTeaO offers a range of ultra-premium tea, water, and coffee products and caters to customers both in-store and through a drive-thru. Each location boasts more than 20 flavors of sweetened and unsweetened tea, made using a proprietary water filtration system and 100% natural ingredients.
Another Q4 highlight was the success of the third annual Round-Up campaign, which raised almost $119,000 throughout October to benefit the Ryan Palmer Foundation Breast Cancer Initiative. The initiative encouraged customers to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar, with 100% of contributions funding Hope Kits designed to provide comfort and encouragement to breast cancer patients undergoing treatment.
Also, HTeaO said it strengthened its partnership with Free Rein Coffee Company through a series of seasonal offerings.
During the winter season, which we’re all hoping continues mild, the Peppermint Mocha Latte blended peppermint and dark chocolate with Free Rein’s Homestead espresso will be feature.
HTeaO also recently made a couple of personnel announcements. Shane Clark has been brought on as chief development officer and Michael Stoddard as vice president of IT.
