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."
