"I am continually impressed with our team and their focus on expanding our retail distribution to accelerate organic growth," said Shawn Moniz, CEO of Happy Belly Food Group. "We continue to execute and deliver on our sales-oriented strategy. It is through these efforts that we see a natural expansion of relationships with retailers and distributors. Retailers adding distribution of our product lines for Holy Crap Cereal and Oatmeal have been extremely positive. In Ontario for example, we have listed our products in close to 100 net new retail locations in the past 3 months alone, and we continue to receive positive feedback from customers and consumers across the country. I am confident in our team's ability to continually expand the availability of our great tasting and organic line of products. As consumers try our cereals, our growth continues to accelerate."
