BEND, Ore., June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BranchOut Food Inc. (NASDAQ: BOF), a food technology company pioneering next-generation fruit, vegetable, and dairy-based snacks through its proprietary GentleDry™ technology, today announced a major expansion of its branded retail business with the launch of five branded products in a leading U.S. mass retailer beginning in September, a major new customer for the company.
The launch represents one of the largest branded retail wins in the company’s history and includes two of BranchOut’s top-performing fruit snack products, Crunchy Pineapple Chips and Crunchy Mango Chips, alongside three innovative new products that combine BranchOut’s fruit and vegetable expertise with its recently launched cheese platform.
The five products launching include:
- Crunchy Pineapple Chips
- Crunchy Mango Chips
- BBQ Sweet Potato Sticks
- Apple Cheddar Crunch
- Veggie Cheddar Crunch
“This is a major bullseye for the BranchOut brand,” said Eric Healy, Chief Executive Officer of BranchOut Food. “Not only are we expanding distribution of two of our most successful crunchy fruit products, but we are also introducing consumers to an entirely new line of innovative snacks that leverage our expanded capabilities in dairy-based products. These products showcase the versatility of our GentleDry technology and represent the next evolution of our innovation platform. We believe this launch puts us squarely on target with our strategy of building BranchOut into a nationally recognized snack brand. Just as importantly, this retailer is a tremendous achievement for the brand because it aligns closely with our target demographic and provides an ideal platform to continue expanding consumer awareness.”
The initial launch is expected to occur in a subset of the retailer's approximately 2,000 locations beginning in September, with final store counts and revenue expectations still being determined. While management is not yet providing specific revenue guidance for the program, the launch represents a significant milestone for the BranchOut brand.
Beyond the immediate sales win, management believes this placement provides meaningful strategic value. As one of the nation's leading retailers and a strong fit with BranchOut's target demographic, the launch further enhances brand awareness and credibility. The Company intends to leverage the momentum, visibility, and prestige associated with this retailer as it continues to expand distribution of its branded products throughout mainstream grocery and other retail channels.
