This Is Good Water will provide several thousand bottles of water to the participants and attendees at the EXPO during the 4-day event in the Palm Beaches.
This Is Good Water was founded after the COVID-19 pandemic struck in early 2020, Americans were stunned by the large number of products not stocked for purchase.
Entrepreneur Dave Miller learned that after going to a local grocery store while talking on the phone to his business partner, Mel Nazulme. The finding led the African Americans entrepreneurs to ask how could they provide their community an essential product?
“When he hit the bare water aisle, a light bulb went off,” Nazulme recalls.
That epiphany incited the duo to launch This Is Good Water.
Calling their venture a luxury bottled water company, the business was boldly started during the second week of the pandemic. Miller is a veteran and serial entrepreneur; Nazulme is an educator, mother, and entrepreneur. Both natives and residents of West Philadelphia, Miller and Nazulme share an eye for business opportunity and a love for community.
Focused on bottling and branding their fresh product, the owners received their first shipment in June 2020. Their main customers come from two classes: Those who drank water out of necessity, not giving it much thought and having no preference; and people very in tune with what they chose to consume. The customers range in age from 26 to 54, with 75% of them female. The bottled water sells for roughly $2 each, though for a little less when bought in larger quantities.
The company gets its water from natural springs in the mountains of Pennsylvania.
THIS IS GOOD WATER will be one of approximately 50 exhibitors who will be showcasing their goods and services at the EXPO. The exhibits are open and free to the public and everyone is encouraged to attend.
