Texas-based tea brand HTeaO has opened its first location in Colorado. The store is located in Loveland and is owned by Nobby and Mandy Grona, according to a press release.

"We've been fans of HTeaO for a long time," Mandy Grona said in the release. "As soon as we learned about the opportunity to bring this incredible brand to Colorado, we knew Loveland was the perfect place to start."

"Loveland deserves a gathering place where people can enjoy great drinks and feel at home. We're proud to be the first to bring HTeaO's Texas spirit to our mountain neighborhood," Nobby Grona said in the release,

A grand opening was held July 12 with free cups of tea handed out and t-shirts for the first 250 customers.

"Colorado has been on our radar for a long time, and we couldn't be more excited to officially plant our flag in Loveland," Shane Clark, CDO at HTeaO, said in the release. "This community aligns perfectly with what we're all about: connection, convenience, and top-quality drinks made for everyday life. Whether you're commuting to Denver or heading out for a weekend in the Rockies, HTeaO is here to fuel the journey. Opening our first Colorado store is a major milestone as we continue our expansion across the mountain west."

HTeaO offers a range of ultra-premium tea, water and coffee products. Each location boasts 20-plus flavors of sweetened and unsweetened tea. In Jan. 2023, HTeaO announced a minority partnership with two Dallas-based private equity firms, Crux Capital and Trive Capital, signaling a strategic move for stable expansion. The brand has more than 100 locations.
