Cizzle Brands Corporation (Cboe Canada: CZZL) (OTCQB: CZZLF) (Frankfurt: 8YF) (the “Company” or “Cizzle Brands”), is pleased to announce that the hydration mix format of its flagship product CWENCH Hydration™ is being carried by United Supermarkets, a grocery chain with a substantial presence in central and northern Texas, which includes urban areas such as Lubbock, Amarillo, Odessa, and Abilene.
As of April 2025, the original four flavours of CWENCH Hydration™ (Blue Raspberry, Cherry Lime, Rainbow Swirl, and Berry Crush) are being sold in the 10-count hydration mix packet format in-store at United Supermarkets. All four SKUs are also available through United Supermarkets’ online ordering portal.
United Supermarkets is part of The United Family, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of S&P MidCap 400® component Albertsons Companies, Inc., one of the largest supermarket chains in the United States. The United Family operates 99 stores under five different banners, serving 1.5 million guests per week in 54 Texas and New Mexico communities.
So far in its Fiscal 2025 year, 20% of the Company’s $5.64 million in net sales took place in the United States. As Cizzle Brands seeks to further scale the market share of CWENCH Hydration™ across North America, the Company has undertaken initiatives (such as becoming the Official Hydration Partner of USA Hockey) to fortify its U.S. footprint, alongside the strategic selection of retail partners such as United Supermarkets in key geographic areas.
CWENCH Hydration™ is already carried across the Life Time chain of athletic country clubs in the United States, including at over 30 locations across the state of Texas. This placement with United Supermarkets is therefore expected to complement the brand’s existing presence in several Texas regions.
Cizzle Brands’ Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer John Celenza commented, “Each market is different in terms of the optimal tactics for launching a sports nutrition brand. This is why we’re taking a patient, strategic, and selective approach to establishing CWENCH Hydration™ in specific U.S. markets, partnering with established and well-known local chains who have the reach and the capabilities to introduce the product to our target audience. We are proud to have CWENCH Hydration™ carried by United Supermarkets in Texas, and we look forward to building out our distribution pipeline in this dynamic and high-growth region of the United States.”
