GreenSpace Brands Announces the Launch of the First Branded Bulk Program in Canada with Significant Distribution Win

TORONTO, July 21, 2016 /CNW/ - GreenSpace Brands Inc. ("GreenSpace" or "Company") (TSXV: JTR) is pleased to announce that its Central Roast brand – a producer and roaster of high quality nutritious snacks - has been awarded a significant distribution win with one of Canada's largest grocery retailers. Central Roast products will be available in the bulk foods aisle with their functional and signature mixes. This expansion showcases yet another key partnership with some of Canada's top grocery retailers and an example of how GreenSpace Brands is injecting innovation into a traditionally commodity driven category with strong brand equity.

"The opportunity to brand the Central Roast products in the set represents a fundamental change in the bulk foods category, which has been stagnant for some time" says Matthew von Teichman, CEO of GreenSpace Brands. "The bulk category has been saturated with commodity based product offerings with no real excitement for the average consumer. With this opportunity, Central Roast will be looking to change the way people snack by drawing attention to an entirely different set of products that deliver a functional benefit, such as men's and women's energy mixes. This is an exciting opportunity not only for GreenSpace, but for the consumers who shop the bulk aisles of their grocery stores."

The distribution win is expected to be very impactful to the Company's revenue and profitability and the opportunity is being added without any significant up-front costs. As well, the new business is not expected to significantly tax the current Central Roast infrastructure and will be easily managed out of the company's new expanded warehouse and production facility, which is scheduled to open later this year.
