Mall of America® will be the first location in the U.S. to open a Waterdrop inline store
The innovative hydration brand will open just in time for summer
BLOOMINGTON, MN — March 9, 2023
Mall of America® is excited to announce that Waterdrop, the international sustainable hydration brand, will open their first inline mall location in the U.S. and the only location in Minnesota this summer. Waterdrop encourages customers to experience a new way of drinking water through innovative products that are not only good for consumers, but also the planet.
Waterdrop compresses real fruit and plant extracts into a dissolvable cube that you drop into your water – making it easier and tastier to drink more water. The brand offers a variety of flavors and functionalities for sustainable alternatives to pre-filled beverages, conventional teabags, and caffeinated options. With a brand pledge to reduce plastic use, Waterdrop also offers high-quality drinkware and accessories, as well as unique drink-tech options that allow shoppers to monitor their drinking habits right from the Waterdrop app.
“Waterdrop is a brand that combines both technology and sustainability to bring guests a fun and exciting new way to drink water while also helping the planet,” said Heather Brechbill Swilley, Senior Vice President of Leasing at Mall of America. “We are thrilled that Waterdrop selected Mall of America to be their first inline storefront in the U.S., and we can’t wait for our guests to experience this unique offering.”
Waterdrop is set to open at Mall of America in summer 2023 and will be located on Level 1, West. For more information on new and coming soon retail, dining, and attractions at Mall of America, visit https://www.mallofamerica.com/shopping/new

ABOUT WATERDROP®
waterdrop®, the fast-growing hydration brand based in Vienna, has been shaking up the beverage industry since 2016 with its innovative waterdrop® Microdrink and global hydration platform. The company's mission is to encourage people to drink more water in a more sustainable way. Its sugar-free, flavored cubes, which dissolve in water and enrich it with natural fruit & plant extracts and valuable vitamins, have been praised by consumers for supporting them to Drink More Water. waterdrop® significantly reduces plastic use and CO2 emissions. The 98% saving in plastic compared to traditional bottled drinks is achieved through the individual recyclable packaging of each cube: the plastic contained in a single cap of a traditional bottle is equivalent to 10 Microdrinks. In partnership with Plastic Bank, waterdrop® pledges to collect one plastic bottle for every 12-pack sold, meaning consumers can not only drink more sustainably, but they can also support waterdrop's cause for a better environmental future. Now established for six years, the company has grown to having more than 2 million online customers and over 300 employees, as well as product listings in over 20,000 retail outlets and more than 40 waterdrop® stores in Europe, America and Singapore.
