MAJOR US RETAILER PUBLIX TO CARRY FOUR 1-STEP SMOOTHIES, BOLSTERING BLENDER BITES' US PRESENCE
One of the largest supermarket retail chains in the United States, Publix Super Markets Inc., will launch four of Blender Bites Ltd.'s 1-Step Smoothie products into 1,383 of its stores across the United States in the first week of August. Through Blender Bites' distribution partner, KeHE Distributors LLC, one of the largest pure-play distributors of natural and organic, specialty and fresh products in the United States, the delivery of the four Blender Bite SKUs will be facilitated into Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. These products include Green D-tox, Daily Defen-C, its top-selling product in North America, Liquid Sunshine and its newly launched Superberry Sport. Notably, Publix is the first major grocer to list Superberry Sport flavour.
"Launching into one of the most trusted retailers in the U.S. is an incredible milestone for the company and our team is honoured to be on shelves at Publix. We look forward to providing their customers access to our award winning 1-Step Smoothies, offering them the convenience, nutrition and taste our existing customers love," stated Chelsie Hodge, chief executive officer and founder of Blender Bites. "We supply our products to some of the top retailers in America and continue to position ourselves as a leader in the competitive frozen smoothie category. Building distribution in states with warmer climates is a strategic measure to mitigate some of the seasonal buying patterns we see in colder climates," continued Ms. Hodge.
Publix, heralded for its commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, is the largest employee-owned grocery chain in the U.S. With a work force of over 250,000-plus and operations spanning 1,300-plus stores across eight states, Publix has consistently been recognized for its quality and service, including being named Retailer of the Year by Store Brands magazine in 2017 and topping Newsweek magazine's America's Best Customer Service in Supermarkets list every year from 2019 to 2024. The inclusion of Blender Bites' products in Publix stores represents a significant expansion of the company's U.S. footprint and an opportunity to introduce more consumers to its health-focused and convenient nutritional options. Management believes this Publix listing will elevate Blender Bites' brand visibility and accessibility across the southeastern United States.
