VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blender Bites Limited (the “Company”, “Blender Bites” or “Blender”), (CSE: BITE, FWB: JL4, WKN: A3DMEJ), is thrilled to announce that due to strong sales, the Company has been awarded 100 additional stores at Walmart Canada (the “Retailer”), with Green D-Tox™ and Liquid Sunshine™, specifically, on shelves in over 380 stores out of the total 400 Canadian stores. All eight of the Company’s product SKUs have received additional stores. This growth is particularly significant since, in Canada, it is estimated that 60% of the nation’s population lives within 10 minutes of a Walmart¹, substantially enhancing the accessibility and reach of Blender Bites’ products to Canadian consumers.

Leading the lineup, Liquid Sunshine™ and Green D-Tox™ will be available in 390 and 383 stores, respectively. Daily Defen-C™, Tropical Glow™, Power Berry™, and Vanilla Bean™ and Mindful Mocha™ will each be available in approximately 200 stores nationwide.

“We are thrilled with Walmart’s decision to expand the distribution of our products across stores in Canada, a move that significantly increases our presence in Canada. This expansion serves as a strong indicator of the demand for our products, which have proven to be especially popular with families with young children. We strongly believe that everyone should have access to clean, healthy and functional nutrition, and having Walmart as a partner aligns perfectly with our mission. We look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with Walmart and to sharing our nutritious and certified organic products with their customers,” stated Chelsie Hodge, Blender Bites Founder and CEO.
