The Texas
Chapter
A two-year R&D test market that redefined what an energy drink could be — and laid the groundwork for the next evolution in clean energy.
Energy.
Environment.
Evolution.
3E Energy Elixir is a healthy, sparkling, all-natural energy drink co-founded by Dr. Christian Gregory — designed for sustained energy, mental clarity, and stress reduction without the jitters.
Featuring 96 mg of natural caffeine from cold-extracted green coffee beans, B complex vitamins, and Vitamin D3, 3E stands apart as a consciously caffeinated elixir that supports focus, immune health, and cardiovascular wellness.
"The better for you
energy drink."
Two Years.
One State.
Infinite Lessons.
After completing an incredibly successful two-year test market across the state of Texas, 3E Energy Elixir withdrew from the marketplace — which was always the original plan. This was never meant to be a permanent launch. It was a deliberate, strategic R&D engagement designed to learn everything about brand positioning, messaging, and what consumers truly want from the next generation of energy drinks.
Dr. Gregory's plan was to be boots on the ground — deeply engaged and involved during this period. The result? 3E exited the marketplace with a tremendous understanding of what the next 3.0 of energy drinks should look like. That product is the soon-to-be-released MindFuel.
Statewide R&D Market Coverage
Central Market
& H-E-B
During its Texas engagement, 3E had a wonderful, almost partner-like relationship with Central Market, the premium grocery brand under H-E-B. The collaboration was outstanding — more than a typical vendor-retailer arrangement, it was a true operational partnership.
3E soared to become one of the top-selling energy drinks across the company, proving that consumers were hungry for a cleaner, more thoughtful alternative to legacy energy brands.
In Texas, 3E was distributed by Chef's Warehouse, ensuring premium placement and reliable supply chain operations across the state's Central Market locations.

Boots on
the Ground
Dr. Gregory's approach to the Texas market was deeply personal and hands-on. Rather than managing from afar, he was embedded in every aspect of the operation — from store visits and shelf placement to consumer feedback and brand positioning.
This ground-level engagement provided invaluable insights that no focus group or market report could replicate. Every conversation, every shelf check, every customer interaction became data that would shape the future of the brand.
