Leading Hemp Beverage Innovator Expands with Established East Coast Distributor

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HighBridge Premium, maker of quality hemp-derived Delta-9 infused beverages, today announced it has entered into a distribution agreement with Opici Family Distributing of New Jersey. This partnership marks HighBridge's entry into the East Coast market and adds another top-tier distributor to its growing national network.

The product line includes HighBridge's award-winning faux Beers, Re-Frsh™ botanical seltzers, and Majical Ice TeaZ™ – a collaboration with branding partner Jim Belushi and Belushi's Farm.

"HighBridge is excited to partner with Opici Family Distributing as we expand our footprint on the East Coast," said James Hunter, Founder and CEO of HighBridge Premium. "The addition of Opici, an iconic 90+ year-old distribution company, continues our tradition of partnering with the most highly regarded distributors as we grow throughout the U.S."

Opici Family Distributing, founded in 1934, ranks among the top ten distributors in the United States according to Wines & Vines magazine. The family-owned and operated company has maintained four generations of service, integrity, loyalty, and hard work, making it an ideal partner for HighBridge and its mission to normalize and promote social acceptance of infused beverages.

Jim Belushi, founder of Belushi's Farms and a HighBridge partner said, "We are proud to partner with Opici, which makes the HighBridge-Belushi's Farm products available to our followers throughout the East Coast region. Our partnership with HighBridge is more than a collaboration – it's a recipe for magic. When two bold brands join forces, the Hemp Delta-9 market gets a taste of something truly extraordinary. Adding Opici creates a win-win-win scenario."

Dina Opici, President of Opici Family Distributing, emphasized the strategic fit: "As we considered entering this market segment, we sought a product and partner with shared values and respect for the industry. We are thrilled to partner with HighBridge to expand upon our hemp beverage portfolio."

HighBridge will continue to seek qualified, reputable distributors in more states as it continues to pursue accelerated growth.
