Tarrytown, NY, Oct. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Nightfood, Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), the innovative ice cream company addressing America’s $50 billion-dollar nighttime snacking problem, announced today that sleep-friendly Nightfood ice cream is available in the Harris Teeter supermarket chain.
With over 250 locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Maryland, Delaware, Florida and the District of Columbia, Harris Teeter is Nightfood’s largest retail partner to date.
“We couldn’t be more excited about this relationship,” commented Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson. “Since our launch, we’ve gotten thousands of requests from consumers wanting Nightfood available in their local stores, and many of those came from loyal Harris Teeter shoppers.”
In support of the launch, management is implementing an aggressive promotional program to drive consumer awareness, shopper trial, and repeat purchase. Nightfood pints available in Harris Teeter proudly feature the 2019 Product of the Year logo, which has been shown to increase consumer purchase of new products by 38%.
Seven Nightfood flavors will be available in over 200 Harris Teeter locations. These are: Full Moon Vanilla, After Dinner Mint Chip, Cold Brew Decaf, Cookies n’ Dreams, Cherry Eclipse (cherry ice cream with cherry pieces and chocolate chips), Milk & Cookie Dough, and Bed and Breakfast (maple ice cream with waffle pieces). The remaining 49 Harris Teeter locations will initially carry four Nightfood flavors.
In each of its stores, Harris Teeter strives to offer customers an excellent shopping experience, which begins with customer service and features high-quality products, variety and selection.
