products that it distributes across Canada.

Canada and the Western United States and distributes to over 10,000
distribution points, including major grocery, convenience, drug,
chain retailers, food service and independent retailers. TransCold
customers in Canada include Safeway, Save on Foods, Loblaws, Real
Canadian Superstore, Fresh Co., Thrifty Foods, Whole Foods,
Walmart, Nesters Market, Buy-Low Foods, Walmart, Costco, 7-Eleven,
Shoppers Drug Mart, Spud.ca and Pomme Natural Market.
Komo is currently being carried
by select stores in British Columbia at IGA, Safeway, Stong's and
Fresh Market, and across full chains, including Nesters, Choices, Nature's Fare
Market, Fairway Market and Meinhardt's, as well as specialty stores
such as the Juice Truck, Vegetarian Butcher, Vegan Supply, and
Larry's Market. There are also several stores in Alberta now
carrying Komo products, with many more expected to be added across
Canada in the near future. Komo has also announced its intentions to
expand into the United States in early 2022.
"Since launching in March 2021 we
have strived to create a solid foundation of loyal consumers
locally and expand retail rapidly," says Komo Plant Based Foods CEO
William White. "We can see the strength of our alliances with major distributors such
as TransCold and Nationwide Natural Foods as we continue our rapid
growth. We are honored to be included in the frozen food sections
of many prominent grocery stores and excited to see new retail
stores get added every month, allowing us to share the love of
plant-based foods. "
In addition to selling through a
retail network, Komo sells its products directly to consumers
through its e-commerce website and at local farmers' markets. A
