Nightfood Q1 2019 Mass Market Ice Cream Distribution Update
TARRYTOWN, NY, Sept. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Nightfood, Inc. (OTC: NGTF), the company pioneering the projected multi-billion dollar nighttime snacking category, today delivered this update regarding mass retail distribution of the new Nightfood ice cream line.
As of today, the Company has October meetings scheduled with ice cream category managers at several popular retail chains, totaling over 8,000 high-volume supermarket and drug outlets across the United States. The Company is awaiting responses from additional chains comprising approximately 10,000 additional locations. While there is no guarantee Nightfood will be distributed in all (or any) of these chains or locations, Management is confident that significant retail distribution will quickly be established with Nightfood ice cream hitting shelves in Q1 of calendar 2019.
“Retailer feedback has been universally positive,” commented Jim Christensen, Nightfood’s VP of Ice Cream Sales. “At these meetings, ice cream category managers will decide to put us in their stores based on our uniqueness, consumer appeal, and our promotion and support plan. We’re very confident in each of these elements.”
“I can’t imagine there’s another new ice cream line that would be as compelling to the category manager,” added Nightfood founder Sean Folkson. “It’s easy for them to envision Nightfood earning massive national media and PR, led by our growing team of world-class athletes along with Dr. Michael Breus, The Sleep Doctor™. This awareness will turn Nightfood into a ‘destination product’, one that consumers will go out of their way to purchase, driving valuable incremental foot traffic to their retail locations.”
Folkson continued, “Of course, we also have a unique and delicious ice cream that consumers will love. I personally expect an enthusiastic ‘yes’ from each and every meeting.”
Management reminds investors that the Company may not be permitted to announce relationships with specific retailers when commitments are received or purchase orders are secured, but that the Company may be required to wait until product is on shelf before publicly identifying our retail partners.
It is therefore expected by Management there may be a period of time in the coming weeks and months when the Company has secured thousands of points of distribution, and booked hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue associated with fulfillment of these purchase orders without making such information public.
