Father-son duo Tim and Chris Megenbier started the company in 2013 after Chris graduated high school and decided he wanted to start his own business. They revisited a previous beverage venture, started by Tim, that was forced to close while he prepared for the acquisition of his previous employer and Chris was in high school . After much research and brainstorming, Zone 8 was born. By coupling the expertise of an established businessman  with the vision and  scope of a Millennial, together, they created a line of products that they feel gives today's consumer exactly what they're looking for: iced teas infused with REAL cane sugar, fruit and spice.
