TARRYTOWN, NY, Feb. 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Nightfood, Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), the innovative company solving America’s $50 billion-dollar nighttime snacking problem, has announced entry into the northern California market through a distribution relationship with the Wonder Ice Cream Company.
Wonder is headquartered in Santa Clara, less than 10 miles north of San Jose, and about 45 miles south of San Francisco and Oakland. Wonder serves thousands of convenience stores, independent supermarkets, and specialty retailers across all of northern California, from Bakersfield to the Oregon border, and distributes brands such as Breyer’s, Ben & Jerry’s, Klondike, and Good Humor.
Among the several thousand retail outlets Wonder services, there are approximately 300 upscale, high-volume, independent supermarkets which will be stocking Nightfood immediately, within the next four to eight weeks.
“We’re thrilled to so quickly add a substantial presence in and around the San Francisco Bay Area,” commented Sean Folkson, CEO of Nightfood. “Over time, we expect the amount of business we do with Wonder to grow dramatically as some of the national accounts they currently service begin to carry Nightfood.”
The highly anticipated national roll-out of Nightfood continues. The brand recently won 2019 Product of the Year in the ice cream category, in a survey of over 40,000 consumers conducted by Kantar Group.
“The amount of media the Nightfood brand has received in recent weeks made this relationship very attractive for us,” stated Eric Capuchino, General Manager of Wonder. “We anticipate this product to be very much in demand among the clientele serviced by our upscale, independent supermarkets.”
The Company has already shipped product to fulfill the initial Wonder purchase order, which was received on February 19. As of the date of this release, Nightfood revenues to date for the current quarter have surpassed the $102,188 reported for the quarter ending September 30, 2018, making this the highest revenue quarter in Company history.
