Nightfood CEO Issues Letter to Shareholders, Discusses His Recent Purchase of NGTF Stock, Nightfood Ice Cream Launch, and Half-Baked Marijuana Edible and Beverage Launch

Tarrytown, NY, Dec. 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Sean Folkson, CEO of Nightfood Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NGTF), a pioneering consumer goods brand development company that owns both Nightfood, Inc. and MJ Munchies Inc., today issued a shareholder update letter.

Folkson addressed his decision to acquire 400,000 shares of NGTF at $.30 per share using accrued salary, the reasons why Management believes Nightfood ice cream will be successful in 2019, an update on Nightfood ice cream distribution, Nightfood public relations strategy, and the advancement of the Half-Baked brand and discussions with various licensees.

It was revealed that a top-10 supermarket chain has committed to putting Nightfood ice cream in 100% of their locations starting in February, with zero slotting fees.  Management believes this will pave the way for significant growth in 2019 and beyond.

“Not only have we secured major distribution with $0 slotting expense, but this signals to other retailers that Nightfood is worthy of their attention,” explained Folkson.  “We believe locking in this large, influential, and trend-setting chain so early in our launch will facilitate an accelerated roll-out.”

Folkson expressed confidence that Nightfood Scientific Advisor and brand ambassador Dr. Michael Breus will have the opportunity appear in national media to educate consumers about Nightfood as the brand works towards the kind of distribution footprint that has resulted in billion-dollar valuations for other ice cream start-ups in recent years.

Responding today to Friday’s news that Altria is investing $1.8B into Cronos Group, Folkson references the “About Cronos” section of recent Cronos Group news releases, which states “The Company intends to continue to rapidly expand its global footprint as it focuses on building an international iconic brand portfolio and developing disruptive intellectual property.”  

Management believes brands and branding represent the future of the marijuana market.  The MJ Munchies team is committed to nurturing and developing the Half-Baked brand and related intellectual property as the acquisition marketplace continues to evolve.
