US retailer Safeway has signed deals to expand the reach of two of its private-label brands in Colombia and South Africa.
ShopRite in South Africa and the Exito supermarket chain in Colombia will both stock the O Organics and the Eating Right brands, which currently have a presence in stores in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, Chile, the Philippines and Saudi Arabia.
“With global demand for organic and ‘better-for-you’ foods rapidly expanding, we are thrilled at the opportunity to reach consumers on a worldwide scale,” said Alex Petrov, president of Lucerne Foods.
“Through our easily implementable store-wide solution with expansive product portfolios and ability to meet the order volume of the largest supermarket chains, we can help retailers fulfill this fast-growing demand by delivering the highest quality options to everyone, everywhere.”
The expanded retail distribution represents the latest step in the evolution of the expanding O Organics and Eating Right brands, the company said.
