Nightfood Delivers Update on Recent Activities and Developments
Tarrytown, NY, Sept. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Nightfood, Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), the innovative ice cream company solving America’s $50 billion-dollar nighttime snacking problem, today provided an update on recent Company developments.
The Company received and has fulfilled the initial purchase order from its next major distribution partner, a prominent division of a top-10 national supermarket chain. Product is expected to start appearing on shelf in the next two weeks in over 200 new stores. These stores will be added to the Nightfood store locator, and the supermarket chain will be announced by name as soon as approval is granted.
Product development work has been completed on two custom flavors for celebrity brand ambassadors: Michael Clifford, lead guitarist of multi-platinum, award winning band, 5 Seconds of Summer, and NFL star cornerback Richard Sherman. Packaging for the first of the two celebrity flavors has been finalized and ordered.
The management team has been busy working with brokers and category managers from supermarkets around the country to set meetings for the upcoming category review period.
Management is focusing on geographic areas where the brand currently does not have local supermarket distribution, specifically the northeast and California, which are regions that have shown high consumer interest.
“This has been a busy time of year with tons of behind-the-scenes work being conducted as we build for the coming months and quarters,” commented Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson. “We’re communicating with over twenty chains, sending samples, booking meetings. We’re excited to bring Nightfood into more stores here in 2019, and in 2020, making it available locally in more sections of the country for an excited and curious consumer base.”
