What happened
On November 5, 2026, Carbliss announced it is now distributed in South Carolina, its 25th state. Seven distributors covering 11 territories will carry the brand, and the company sent 46 team members into the state for a two-day push of market visits, distributor work and retail engagement.
The brand has named Brian Presley as South Carolina Market Manager to keep momentum going after launch week, working with distributors, retailers, bars and restaurants to widen availability. Carbliss sells zero-sugar, zero-carb, 100-calorie ready-to-drink cocktails and has been ranked the top food and beverage company on the Inc. 5000 for two consecutive years. A new state entry built on field activation suggests room for local awareness, retail and on-premise promotion, and social support.
