NightFood Secures Initial Purchase Order From KeHE
TARRYTOWN, NY, PRNewswire/ – NightFood Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NGTF) (“NightFood” or the “Company”), continues to expand its distribution footprint. NightFood, “The Nighttime Snack Company”, has entered into a distribution relationship with KeHE Distributors LLC. KeHE is a national leader in the distribution of natural, organic and specialty food and beverage products to supermarkets, natural food retailers, specialty food retailers, grocers, and other retail channels.
The initial purchase order, received on January 15, 2016, will allow KeHE to begin distributing NightFood snack products to retailers in the southeast through its distribution center in St. Augustine, FL, as NightFood brokers have already secured commitments from retailers in that region. KeHE has also approved NightFood for distribution in five additional regional distribution centers (located in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Texas, and Oregon), although no purchase orders have yet been received from any of these additional distribution centers, and none are guaranteed.
NightFood CEO, Sean Folkson reports, “This is a tremendous leap forward for our company. Having a relationship with a national distributor like KeHE makes it substantially easier for our brokers to open new accounts at an accelerated pace. We look at this as the first step in our national mainstream roll-out, which should make 2016 a very exciting year for NightFood.”
Cascadia Managing Brands of Ramsey, NJ has been engaged by NightFood to assist with the national roll-out. Robert Sipper, President of Cascadia commented, “Our next steps include accelerating the activities of our existing brokers adding new accounts in the eastern part of the country. In addition, we have begun the process of expanding the NightFood broker network into other geographic regions. As we drive retailer demand in new regions, KeHE can easily purchase product for additional distribution centers to meet growing retail demand.”
Folkson added, “Working with a national distributor like KeHE can be a springboard to tremendous growth. We’re optimistic that the next several months will bring a steady stream of great news on the distribution front as more retailers continue to put NightFood on their shelves.”
