[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 14, 2021) - The Very Good Food Company Inc. (TSXV: VERY) (OTCQB: VRYYF) (FSE: 0SI) (\"VERY GOOD\" or the \"Company\"), a leading plant-based food technology company, is pleased to announce it is expanding its U.S. retail presence with Earth Fare, a U.S. based health and wellness supermarket retailer. Starting in November, VERY GOOD's original The Very Good Butchers suite of plant-based alternative meat products and its newest gluten-free and soy-free product line, Butcher's Select, will be rolled out into all 23 of Earth Fare's locations in major states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, Ohio and Michigan. This brings the total number of U.S. stores that will carry the Company's products to 175 locations in 20 cities across 15 states, and across North America, our products will soon be available in 825 outlets. Earth Fare is one of the largest natural and organic food retailers in the U.S. focused on selling natural and organic products that meet some of the highest food standards such as being free of various artificial additives, high-fructose corn syrup, hormones and antibiotics. Core to its mission, and aligned with VERY GOOD's values, is Earth Fare's belief in providing the cleanest, highest quality ingredients to consumers. \"Demand for our premium plant-based products is growing and the partnership with Earth Fare is the first time our products will be on retailers' shelves in the Southeastern U.S. This also marks the debut of our Butcher's Select products in U.S. stores amidst the line's growing momentum,\" said Mitchell Scott, Co-Founder & CEO of The Very Good Food Company. \"Increasing our presence in U.S. retail stores is a top priority for VERY GOOD as it is an area where we see potential for strong growth. We anticipate securing additional distribution points in U.S. stores by the end of the year and into 2022.\" Just last week VERY GOOD announced that it has expanded its retail footprint in Eastern Canada and Québec. The Company's Very Good Butchers product line up is now available in Québec at 10 Rachelle Béry health food stores and online throughout the Greater Toronto Area via Voilà by Sobeys' online home delivery service (voila.ca).
