Vancouver, B.C. & Boca Raton, FL., Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eat & Beyond Global Holdings Inc. (CSE: EATS) (OTCQB: EATBF) (FSE: 988) ("Eat & Beyond" or the "Company"), an investment issuer focused on food technology and the global plant-based and alternative protein sector, is announcing that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Banana Wave, has secured distribution in 178 Hannaford Bros. stores, set to kick off this quarter.
Hannaford Bros. operates 185 supermarkets across the Northeastern United States with stores in Maine, New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Hannaford Bros. is an established grocery brand committed to family, community, quality and value; it has been in operation since its first store opened in Portland, Maine in 1883.
"Banana Wave, which we completed the acquisition of earlier this year, is a truly unique brand in the dairy alternatives space: it is the world's first non-dairy banana milk," said Michael Aucoin, CEO of Eat & Beyond. "Since the acquisition, we have been focused on establishing the infrastructure to grow sales by increasing distribution and refining the brand's marketing and product strategy."
Banana Wave's products are made with bananas and oats, and flavored with other natural ingredients including fresh strawberries and cocoa. They are high in vitamins, low in sugar, gluten-free, soy-free and non-GMO. They are available in five flavors: Original, Unsweetened Original, Mango, Chocolate and Strawberry.
The products are sold in recyclable packaging and are shelf-stable for up to one year without the need for refrigeration. By creating the beverage formulation with bananas, the products are naturally fat-free but still deliver a creamy texture that other non-dairy milks cannot achieve without added fat.
"We are very excited to be partnering with Hannaford Bros. to bring Banana Wave to their shoppers," said Steven Gelerman, Banana Wave CEO. "Our continued expansion on the East Coast has been going very well."
