Nix and Kix
Their mission is to remove the stigma and boredom that surrounds soft drinks. For too long, soft drinks have been an ugly sister to alcohol, to functional drinks and to fresh juices. There’s been a lack of imagination, a lack of experimentation and a lack of passion. That’s the problem we’re here to solve.
Nix and Kix are here to give soft drinks a new name. And some added kick.
Why did Nix & Kix choose to lease? It helps with the cash flow and also guarantees repairs and replacements.
