PeaTos Now Available in Hawaii Sam’s Club Locations
PeaTos has expanded distribution into Sam’s Club warehouse locations in Hawaii. Beginning in July, Sam’s Club shoppers throughout Hawaii can now purchase PeaTos Classic Crunchy Onion Rings. The announcement follows PeaTos’ Q2 launch into more than 1000 CVS Health and H-E-B store locations.
“PeaTos is revolutionizing the snacking category by incorporating better-for-you nutrition and plant-based nutrition into the same classic fun, tasty promise of snacks that America grew up on but without sacrificing flavor or crunch,” said PeaTos founder Nick Desai. “Consistently, moms tell us that they appreciate that PeaTos Classic Crunchy Onion Rings not only tastes better than Funyuns, but that we only use 100 percent plant-based ingredients that offer nutritional benefits, without any artificial ingredients. We are thrilled that PeaTos’ store performance in Hawaii to date has been incredible with a 43 percent sell-through in the first week, which has wildly exceeded our forecast. We see a huge opportunity to expand with Sam’s Club.”
PeaTos is challenging PepsiCo subsidiary Frito-Lay’s dominance in the category by bridging the gap between junk food taste and better-for-you nutrition. PeaTos replaces the traditional corn base with nutrient-dense peas for a unique snack experience that offers two times the protein and three times the fiber of the leading salty snack counterparts but with nothing artificial and now with no dairy.
PeaTos employs proprietary methodology to replicate the dairy experience using only 100 percent plant-based ingredients. The result is an all-plant based, vegan snack that offers the taste and finger-licking sensory experience of America’s favorite snacks.
PeaTos caught the attention of VegNews editors which gave it its “Best of” award at Expo West, the world’s largest trade show for natural living. “Our entire VegNews team was blown away by the new 100 percent vegan offerings from PeaTos,” said associate editor Jocelyn Martinez. “It’s our latest obsession!”
The PeaTos line includes four flavors in two familiar forms: Crunchy Onion Rings, a savory snack with just a hint of sweet; Crunchy No-Cheese Curls; Crunchy Fiery Curls; and the all-new Crunchy Pizza Rings. PeaTos is available in single-serve, bulk and variety multipacks.
