Komo Doubles Retail Distribution to 840 Stores
C.YUM | 1 hour ago
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 6, 2023) - Komo Plant Based Foods Inc. (CSE: YUM) (OTCQB:KOMOF) (FSE: 9HB0) (the "Company", "Komo"), a premium plant-based food company, reports significant growth in the number of retail stores carrying Komo products with an increase of over 100% in 3 months.
Komo Plant Based Foods Inc., a fast-growing plant-based food products manufacturer, announces a 100% increase in retail distribution since November of 2022, now available in 840 grocery retail locations across Canada. This impressive growth includes Loblaw's and Loblaws' banner stores and the addition of 50 new retail stores in January 2023, including Georgia Main Group (IGA West and Fresh St. Market), Sobey's West, Safeway and Freson Brothers locations in western Canada, and key natural accounts such as Boites à Grain in Quebec.
"Our focus has always been to provide high-quality, delicious plant-based meals and this growth in distribution demonstrates that more and more people are not only choosing our products as part of their diet but repeat purchases in national accounts such as Loblaw's banners continue to prove that families are welcoming Komo into their lives on weekly, and sometimes daily, basis," says William White, CEO of Komo. "We believe that convenient and wholesome plant-based food is the future of sustainable and healthy eating, and we are committed to making our products more accessible and convenient for consumers. We look forward to continued growth and expanding our reach in the coming months."
The plant-based foods market could make up to 7.7% of the global protein market by 2030, with a value of over $162 billion, up from $29.4 billion in 2020, according to a new report by Bloomberg Intelligence (BI). The report Plant-Based Foods Poised for Explosive Growth identifies growth locations for the plant-based foods market through 2030, as a global animal and dairy protein demand is poised to reach $1.2 trillion by then.
We're at $.25, no run for the exits, only 20K on the ask. Those might look like a bargain down the road!
I emailed investor relations for what it's worth. I think they needed the cash to fuel their expansion. No surprise. If that's indeed what it's being used for I feel like we're going to feel some short term pain for long term gain. If they're successful and they expand into the US and continue growing this stock could absolutely fly down the road with either 9M or 16M shares total once they're profitable. I'm holding my 20,000 shares.
The company is doing great and on track to bring in record revenues. We are targeting profitability by this spring! (But we will need to complete a small capital raise to get there) as you have probably seen from our most recent set of financials released we are decreasing debt and quarterly losses and increasing revenue. We are hopeful that the roll back will hold its value and bring in new investors as the company continues with its operational successes.
