New front-of-club Multipack Product Line opens an entirely new merchandising department with the nation's largest warehouse club retailer, while first Dried Cheesecake Bites launch demonstrates the Company's ability to continuously innovate with existing retail partners
BEND, Ore., Aug. 27, 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 the first commercial orders for its new front-of-club Crunchy Fruit Chip Multipack Product Line and its innovative shelf-stable Dried Cheesecake Bites. Together, these launches represent important milestones in the Company's strategy of expanding through continuous product innovation with the nation's largest warehouse club retailer.
The initial Multipack Product Line order is valued at approximately
BranchOut also secured its first commercial order for its shelf-stable Dried Cheesecake Bites, which will launch as a seasonal holiday offering in the Texas region of the same retailer. Management noted that multiple additional regions have already expressed interest in both products and believes these initial launches have the potential to expand significantly over time if consumer demand meets expectations.
New Multipack Product Line Significantly Expands Warehouse Club Opportunity
Unlike BranchOut's existing larger-format dried fruit snacks sold in the retailer’s grocery department, the new Multipack Product Line is merchandised in the retailer's high-traffic front-of-store snack section, an entirely different merchandising department managed by a separate buying organization. Management believes this is significant because it effectively creates a second growth opportunity within the same customer by providing access to a new group of buyers, additional merchandising programs, and a higher-volume area of the store. The front-of-store location offers substantially greater customer traffic than the traditional grocery aisle, significantly increasing BranchOut's long-term opportunity within the warehouse club channel.
The Company designed the Multipack Product Line as a scalable platform rather than a single product. BranchOut currently manufactures five core crunchy fruit varieties, allowing each regional buyer to customize a three-flavor assortment based on local consumer preferences. This provides buyers with greater flexibility and ownership while allowing BranchOut to maintain manufacturing focus on the same five core products.
Because customization occurs during packaging rather than manufacturing, BranchOut can create multiple regional assortments without adding production complexity. Management believes this approach maximizes factory efficiency, supports higher production volumes, and improves operating leverage while creating a platform that can be expanded across additional regions and international markets with minimal operational changes.
Dried Cheesecake Bites Expands BranchOut's Innovation Platform
The Company also secured its first commercial order for its innovative Dried Cheesecake Bites, valued at approximately
Management believes Dried Cheesecake Bites represent another scalable product platform with the potential to expand into additional regions over time. Early interest from multiple regional buyers reinforces the Company's strategy of continuously introducing differentiated products that create new merchandising opportunities, deepen relationships with existing retail customers, and drive incremental growth throughout the year.
Management believes Dried Cheesecake Bites complement the Company's core healthy snack portfolio by creating incremental merchandising opportunities throughout the year, while also providing a particularly compelling offering during the holiday season when consumers increasingly seek indulgent and giftable snacks. This expands BranchOut's participation into merchandising occasions where its traditional fruit and vegetable products may be less applicable, while leveraging the same manufacturing platform and retail relationships.
Built to Scale
Management believes these launches demonstrate the strength of BranchOut's innovation platform. Rather than relying solely on geographic expansion or additional distribution of existing products, the Company continues to develop entirely new product platforms that address new merchandising opportunities while leveraging its existing manufacturing capabilities.
"Our goal has never been to simply sell another SKU," said Eric Healy, CEO of BranchOut. "We've built an innovation platform that allows us to continually introduce differentiated products while maintaining manufacturing efficiency. The new Multipack Product Line is particularly exciting because it opens an entirely new department within the warehouse club, giving us access to a second set of buyers and a much larger merchandising opportunity. At the same time, our first Dried Cheesecake Bites launch demonstrates that our GentleDry™ technology extends well beyond fruit and vegetable snacks."
Healy continued, "What is especially encouraging is that both of these products have already generated interest from multiple additional regions. Historically, we've seen successful regional launches expand over time, and we believe both the Multipack Product Line and Dried Cheesecake Bites have the potential to become meaningful growth drivers as additional buyers adopt these products."
Management believes the combination of a scalable merchandising platform, continued product innovation, and growing customer interest positions BranchOut for additional expansion opportunities with existing retail partners while supporting higher factory utilization and long-term profitable growth.
