Tarrytown, NY, Apr 16, 2019 – Nightfood, Inc. (otc qb:NGTF), the innovative company solving America’s $50 billion-dollar nighttime snacking problem, announced today that Lowes Foods, a supermarket chain with significant presence in the Carolinas, has begun stocking Nightfood ice cream into all 78 Lowes locations.
Founded in 1954, Lowes Foods is a top-50 revenue supermarket chain employing approximately 9,000 people which operates full-service supermarkets in North Carolina, South Carolina, and one location in Virginia. Locally owned and operated, Lowes Foods is truly a homegrown company that prides itself on providing its customers with the most innovative new products.
“It’s always hard having to wait to make these big announcements when we want consumers and investors to know about our progress,” remarked Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson. “This is a perfect time to remind everybody that we often find ourselves forced to sit on important material developments for weeks, and sometimes months. We’re making great progress towards our stated goals.”
Folkson continued, “Lowes has an amazing reputation and instantly gives us a powerful presence through the Carolinas. We’re looking forward to working closely with them as one of our cornerstone accounts for 2019 as we build Nightfood into a national favorite.”
Lowes stores began introducing Nightfood ice cream in freezers earlier this month. All stores are scheduled to have product in stock and on-shelf by April 26, at which time the locations will be added to the store locator on the Nightfood website.
Demand from the billion-dollar Lowes chain is what created the opportunity for Nightfood to be distributed through Merchants Distributors, LLC (MDI). In addition to Lowes, MDI services over 500 additional retail food stores in the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
“As we gear up for the busy supermarket category review season, which begins in a few months, Lowes was one of the key accounts we focused on for the early part of the year,” added Jim Christensen, Nightfood VP of Ice Cream Sales. “Consumers can expect additional distribution announcements in coming weeks as we work to make Nightfood available locally to a much larger portion of the American population.”
