"Increasingly, retail grocery chains are investing in bringing established health and wellness brands to consumers.

Our recent guidance to the market stated that we would launch 2,000 more locations before the end of 2021 and we have already exceeded that target with more than 3,000 new locations to date and growing," continued Dr. Mitchell.
