“Offering a 12 pack case option of Oasis allows us to offer retailers greater control over their stock.

“We expect the new cases to be popular with retailers looking to buy and sell Oasis, wanting to stock the range, but who are conscious of the initial investment in stock. Oasis Classified – Internal use is a £64m brand and is ranked the number two juice drink in the Impulse channel.
