Tarrytown, NY, Jan. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Nightfood, Inc. (OTC: NGTF), the company pioneering the projected multi-billion dollar nighttime snacking category, has announced that CEO Sean Folkson was interviewed last week by Jack Marks of Wall Street Reporter.
The interview covered a wide range of topics related to the upcoming Nightfood ice cream national launch, including marketing, distribution, and product attributes.
When discussing the upcoming ice cream rollout and chains that Management expects to take on the product during 2019, Folkson said, “For any investors out there that are intrigued by what we’re doing, they should probably pay attention and watch the development over the next several weeks and months, because I think a lot of perceptions are going to be changed, and people are really going to be forced to reevaluate our current valuation.”
Folkson also mentioned there was a major company announcement to be revealed in “less than a month” that he felt was more important and significant than any individual distribution announcement. He stated, “This coming announcement, I think it will take the level of confidence I have, and help everybody not only to understand it, but to share it.”
On January 12, 2019, Nightfood completed manufacturing on three truckloads of its nighttime ice cream (you can view the production process here). Leading sleep and nutrition experts guided Nightfood’s formulation and recipe development. The ice cream is available in 8 flavors and will begin appearing on supermarket shelves in February.
The rollout is being led by Nightfood VP of Ice Cream Marketing Jim Christensen. Christensen is the former VP of Ice Cream Sales for global ice cream giant Unilever, the owner of Ben & Jerry’s, Klondike, Breyers, and the more recently acquired Talenti. The Company has a goal of securing distribution in 10,000 outlets by this time next year, and Folkson indicated that he believes the ice cream line will be approved in every supermarket chain Management is targeting within the current 12-month sales cycle.
