Although inflation remains near its highest point in over 40 years, one grocery-store staple has maintained its 99-cent price tag: AriZona Iced Tea. "For as long as we can, we're going to hold our price," he says. One way the family-owned company is able to maintain its low price point is by not trying to duplicate how other larger beverage companies operate. Another way AriZona aims to beat rising manufacturing costs is by increasing the number of products sold at its low price point. The company focuses on increasing its sales volume to avoid passing on a price hike to consumers, Vultaggio says.

That’s why the name seemed to make sense to me.”AriZona was almost called Santa Fe. The “Snapple Lady” commercials turned the juice and iced tea company into a huge success, as sales boomed throughout the 90s. Having had his own success with a malt liquor business, Vultaggio and his partners pivoted to selling iced tea in the same-sized 23-ounce cans as their malt liquor.
