‘Queen of Croker’ celebrates with Centra
KATIE TAYLOR TOASTS HISTORIC WIN AS FIZZIQUE LANDS IN CENTRA STORES
Just days after bringing the curtain down on one of the greatest careers in Irish sporting history with a historic victory at a sold-out Croke Park, Katie Taylor visited Centra Delgany, Co. Wicklow, as Centra announced that FIZZIQUE, the next-generation soda brand she co-created and co-owns, is now available in Centra stores.
The three-time undisputed world champion and Olympic gold medallist received a champion’s welcome at Centra Delgany following her historic final bout. The visit marked another milestone for FIZZIQUE, which launched in May and has already sold out twice following strong demand across retail and foodservice.
FIZZIQUE is a better-for-you soda crafted with natural ingredients and bold taste, providing craveable refreshment with wellness built in. The drink is low in sugar & calories, high in fibre, made with natural juices and flavourings and infused with magnesium and vitamin D.
Katie Taylor, co-creator and shareholder of FIZZIQUE, said: “Just like we changed minds about women and boxing, with FIZZIQUE we’re going to change minds about soda and health. It’s a game changer, it’s ambitious, and I love that.”
Finbar McCarthy, Trading Director at Centra, said: “There are few people who have made Ireland prouder or have achieved throughout their extraordinary career, than Katie Taylor.
“We’re delighted to welcome Katie to Centra Delgany and to support the next chapter of her journey by bringing FIZZIQUE to Centra stores nationwide. We know our customers are increasingly looking for healthier choices that don’t compromise on taste or enjoyment, and FIZZIQUE really speaks to that – offering a refreshing alternative to traditional soft drinks, with added vitamins to support everyday wellbeing. Centra has always been about backing great Irish brands and giving our customers exciting new choices, and FIZZIQUE is a fantastic addition to our drinks range.”
Ian and Liz Cuddihy, owners of Centra Delgany, said: “It was an incredibly special moment for us to welcome Wicklow’s superstar Katie to Centra Delgany, there was a real sense of excitement among our team and customers to celebrate with Katie here this morning.
“We’re also delighted to have FIZZIQUE on our shelves and to be supporting an exciting Irish brand that Katie herself has helped to create. It was a brilliant day for the store and one we’ll remember for a long time.”
Centra is also rolling out a range of SiSú products, including cold-pressed shots and organic kombucha, across stores nationwide, with further functional products currently being explored for the Centra range.
