Yes. A few flavored water brands are especially associated with vending and convenience-store placement, though the exact mix varies by region and distributor.

Common examples include:

  • Propel — very common in convenience channels and vending
  • Vitaminwater — widely distributed in c-stores, coolers, and some vending
  • Hint Water — often found in convenience and grab-and-go sets
  • Bubly / AHA — more convenience and retail focused, sometimes in vending depending on operator
  • Aquafina FlavorSplash and Dasani Flavors — often positioned for convenience coolers
  • Core Hydration Flavored variants — sometimes seen in convenience

If you mean brands that are specifically built around vending as a priority channel, those are less common in flavored water than in sports drinks or sodas. In practice, flavored water brands usually target:

  1. Convenience stores / travel retail
  2. Vending machines
  3. Gym and office coolers

If you want, I can also list:

  • brands by U.S. vs. international market
  • brands with the strongest vending presence
  • or a channel-by-channel breakdown of flavored water brands.
