 PROFILE
Leading Brands wouldn't mind putting a little more fizz in its bottom line. Formerly Brio Industries, it is Canada's largest independent bottler and distributor of soft drinks and other beverages, including Cool Canadian water, Country Harvest juices, and Johnny's Roadside lemonade and teas. It also bottles or distributes Coca-Cola products, Gatorade, Hansen's, SoBe, and Virgin, and it mixes private-label items for grocers. It formed a food division in 1999 to oversee snack brands such as 1st Choice, Alamo, Kelsey's, and Marlene's. Leading Brands also bakes tortilla chips and cheese puffs. The company plans to spin off its money-losing Quick.com grocery home delivery subsidiary.
