2021
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 11, 2021 /CNW/ - Sol Cuisine Ltd. ("Sol
Cuisine" or the "Company") (TSXV: VEG) a growth-oriented North
American plant-based protein leader, today announced the launch of
one of its most popular SKUs – Buffalo Cauliflower Chik'n Wings –
in all 39 Costco stores in Mexico.
This is the first time that Sol Cuisine products will be offered in
the Mexican market. The products will be on-shelf beginning
August 23rd.
John Flanagan, CEO of Sol
Cuisine commented, "Costco is a very important name in
North American retail, and we look forward to bringing our Buffalo
Cauliflower Chik'n Wings to their Mexican customers. Plant-based
consumption in Mexico is growing
rapidly with 20 per cent of the population claiming to be vegan or
vegetarian, and we see substantial opportunity for growth in
the market. With over 700 locations in Canada, the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and Mexico, gaining exposure to additional stores
in the Costco network, and expanding the number of SKUs listed
would be game-changing for the Company and we look forward to
continuing to build the relationship."
