History of Simply Beverages
The Simply Orange Juice Company began in 2001. It was started by Minute Maid. At first, they launched three types of "Simply Orange" juice. These were "Original," "Original with Calcium," and "Grove Made." They were first sold in the Northeastern part of the United States.
Growing the Simply Brand
By 2003, Simply Orange juices were sold across the Southeastern United States. Soon after, they became available all over the country. In 2004, they added "Country Stand with Calcium" to their orange juice choices.
In 2006, the "Simply" brand grew even more. They launched "Simply Lemonade" and "Simply Limeade." A year later, in August 2007, "Simply Grapefruit" was announced. It started appearing in stores by mid-September.
New Flavors and Products
More new flavors came out in August 2008. These included "Simply Orange with Mango" and "Simply Orange with Pineapple." In February 2009, "Simply Lemonade with Raspberry" became available.
The company kept adding new drinks. In January 2012, they released "Simply Cranberry Cocktail" and "Simply Lemonade with Mango." "Simply Peach" and "Simply Lemonade with Strawberry" were launched in 2017.
In 2018, the size of some bottles changed. The 59-ounce bottles became 52 ounces. This helped the company save on production costs. In the same year, Simply also launched "Simply Light" drinks. These drinks have fewer calories and less sugar. In 2025, the company introduced "Simply Pop." This is a new line of fruit-flavored sodas. They contain prebiotics, which are good for your gut.
