After securing the support of the 3 largest natural food

can now be found in select Wegmans, Stop & Shop, Giant and
Safeway stores across the U.S. “We are most impressed
by the response to our unique 3-vegetable base and how it is viewed
as 'on trend' with our buyer’s evaluation of where their consumer
is headed,” cited Rob Harrison, CEO Global Gardens Group.
Along with these major chains, Veggemo is now available in
approximately 1,500 locations across the U.S., with more expected
to show up over the next several months. Currently, Veggemo can be

Product” by VegNews.
Anxious to meet the demand of every consumer, Veggemo is also
available on Amazon and soon to be available at select natural
food-focused online retailers.
