Bridgewater Local's Cold Brew Shop Expands Into Wholesale

SOMERVILLE, NJ — Bridgewater native Steven Chiocchi, owner of Cheech’s Own in Somerville, is working to expand his wholesale efforts throughout central New Jersey.

Cheech's Own secretly opened overnight in Somerville with a speakeasy-themed launch in August 2018. (See Related: Cheech's Own Secretly Opens Overnight With Speakeasy-Themed Party)

Now Cheech’s Own is inviting gyms, wellness studios, restaurants and more to join them in their whole sale expansion.

"We're just picking up where we left off," says Steven Chiocchi, "we started off as a product-forward company selling our bottles of cold brew at farmers markets. Now we’re taking a much more focused approach."

Along with its cold brew concentrate, Cheech's Own will be also being offering beverages including seasonal kombucha flavors, teas and more.

"We want to continue creating new unique experiences through our hand-crafted products," Chiocchi added.

From smoothies to refined cocktails the organic beverage company’s roster of wholesale list includes Klew Crossfit, Duke Farms, Stirling Tavern, Verve, Basil Bandwagon and Ride & Reflect.
