Company history

The company was founded in 1963 in Irvine, California by Andrew Peykoff Sr. and is currently run by Andy Peykoff II. Niagara began producing private label bottled water in the 1990s and has since gone national.[4] Their private label clients include big box retailers, grocery stores, and convenience stores including Walmart and Costco. In 2017, Niagara bought the bottling component of Pennsylvania based First Quality Water & Beverage.[2] They subsequently closed the bottling plant, but retained the distribution network and private label bottling contracts.[5]
