AriZona Launches 99¢ Magazine

Crowd at the AriZona 99¢ Magazine takeover outside Iconic Magazines, Mulberry Street

In September 2019, AriZona Iced Tea took over our Mulberry store for New York Fashion Week, wrapping the storefront in teal, neon pink, and cherry blossoms. The spotlight was on their 99¢ Magazine, AriZona’s first-ever print publication. Limited-edition, 54-page glossy celebrating its New York roots, brand history, and beauty looks inspired by its unmistakable cans.

Despite the name, the magazine wasn’t for sale. It came free with the purchase of an AriZona drink. Skaters, collectors, and downtown print fans lined up around the block before the limited run disappeared. Inside, AriZona cocktails poured behind the counter, a DJ turned the racks into a party, and the night carried on at Gold Bar.
