Tarrytown, NY, Feb. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Nightfood, Inc. (NGTF), the innovative company solving America’s $50 billion-dollar nighttime snacking problem, has announced the first major retail distribution partner for Nightfood ice cream is Midwestern supermarket chain, Meijer.
Ranked as the 7th largest supermarket chain in the United States in 2017 according to Progressive Grocer, Meijer is a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer that operates more than 240 supercenters and grocery stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
Nightfood ice cream is available in approximately 40% of Meijer locations, with concentration in and around the metropolitan areas of Chicago, Detroit, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee.
“I’d like to thank the forward-thinking team at Meijer for sharing our vision of how positively the Nightfood brand would be received by consumers,” stated Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson. “There’s a level of confidence that comes with early validation from such a well-respected and iconic retailer.”
On January 28th, the Company announced that New England Ice Cream would be distributing Nightfood throughout New England states. With Meijer making the ice cream available in an additional six states, Nightfood has now secured distribution in twelve states within six weeks of manufacturing its first pint on January 7th.
“We’ve got much more distribution in the works for 2019, both with regard to regional distributors and supermarket chains,” explained Jim Christensen, Nightfood’s VP of Ice Cream Sales, who formerly held the same position for global ice cream giant Unilever, where he oversaw brands such as Breyers and Ben & Jerry’s. “This is a national roll-out. By Q1 of next year, it’s our goal to be in 10,000 points of distribution.”
“We know people have been waiting a long time for this announcement,” Folkson continued. “Fans have already started posting pictures of their Nightfood on social media. It’s fun to see such enthusiasm and anticipation from the marketplace.”
