Nightfood Ice Cream Proudly Announces Walmart Distribution Starting Spring 2021
Tarrytown, NY, Feb. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Nightfood, Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), better-for-you snack company targeting the $50 billion Americans spend annually on nighttime snacks, announced today that Nightfood’s sleep-friendly ice cream will soon be available in Walmart stores in multiple regions of the United States.
Final store counts, geographic regions, and flavor assortment will all be announced in the coming weeks, closer to Nightfood’s launch in Walmart’s freezers.
“This is a very exciting day for all Nightfood shareholders,” stated Nightfood founder & CEO Sean Folkson. “We’ve been working with the category managers at Walmart for well over a year to get to this point. It’s an honor and no small accomplishment to have our brand available in the stores of the world’s largest retailer.”
“From my prior role as CEO of MAM Baby, I have years of experience supplying product to Walmart, and the team is looking forward to a long and successful relationship,” remarked Jenny Mitchell, Nightfood COO and National Sales Manager. “Now that Walmart distribution has been confirmed, we’re updating internal projections and production schedules accordingly. We look forward to sharing full details as soon as we’re able.”
All Nightfood product shipped to Walmart will be in Nightfood’s bold new packaging and updated “sleep-friendly” messaging. Management believes the brand’s new and improved packaging will deliver higher rates of consumer trial and repurchase, and significant increases in ice cream sales.
With Walmart adding the brand on-shelf this spring, Nightfood ice cream will be available in divisions of four of the top six grocers in the United States. In addition to Walmart, Nightfood is currently available in divisions of Kroger (Harris Teeter), Albertsons Companies (Jewel-Osco and Shaw’s and Star Markets), and H-E-B (Central Market).
About Nightfood Holdings:
Nightfood Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NGTF), owns Nightfood, Inc. and MJ Munchies, Inc.
Nightfood has expanded distribution for its ice cream into major divisions of the largest supermarket chains in the United States: Kroger (Harris Teeter), Albertsons Companies (Jewel-Osco and Shaw’s and Star Markets), and H-E-B (Central Market) as well as Lowe’s Foods, Rouses Markets, and other independent retailers.
Nightfood won the 2019 Product of the Year award in the ice cream category in a Kantar survey of over 40,000 consumers. Nightfood was also named Best New Ice Cream in the 2019 World Dairy Innovation Awards.
Nightfood has been endorsed as the Official Ice Cream of the American Pregnancy Association and is the recommended ice cream for pregnant women. There are approximately 3,000,000 pregnant women in the United States at any given time, and ice cream is the single most-widely reported pregnancy craving. With more calcium, magnesium, zinc, prebiotic fiber, and protein, less sugar and a lower glycemic profile than regular ice cream, Nightfood has been identified as a better choice for expectant mothers.
Nightfood is not just for pregnant women. Over 80% of Americans snack regularly at night, resulting in an estimated 700M+ nighttime snack occasions weekly, and an annual spend on night snacks of over $50 billion dollars, the majority of it on options that are understood to be both unhealthy, and disruptive to sleep quality.
Nightfood was formulated by sleep and nutrition experts with ingredients that research suggests can support nighttime relaxation and better sleep quality. Scientific research indicates unhealthy nighttime cravings are driven by human biology. Willpower is also weakest at night, and stress is another contributing factor. A majority of night snackers report feeling both guilty and out-of-control when it comes to their nighttime snacking.
Because unhealthy night snacking is believed to be biologically driven, and not a trend or a fad, management believes the category of nighttime-specific nutrition, which Nightfood is pioneering, can be a billion-dollar category.
MJ Munchies, Inc. was formed in 2018 as a new, wholly owned subsidiary of Nightfood Holdings, Inc. to capitalize on legally compliant opportunities in the CBD and marijuana edibles and related spaces. The Company is seeking licensing opportunities to market such products under the brand name “Half-Baked”, for which they’ve successfully secured trademark rights.
