Extend Nutrition, a US-based diabetes nutrition products manufacturer, is expanding distribution of its Peanut Butter Chocolate and Chocolate Extend Bars to more than 10,000 Walmart, CVS and Kmart stores across the country.
The move increases the company's total number of retail locations to more than 25,000. The products are currently available at Walgreens, Target, Publix, Safeway, Kroger and other leading retailers in the US.
Extend Nutrition brand manager Kensey Turnbaugh said the increased availability of Extend Nutrition snack products at these major retailers reflects the demand for the product and recognition of the need to offer healthy snacks that help control blood sugar.
"Consumers are beginning to connect the dots between blood sugar management, obesity and the growing diabetes epidemic," Turnbaugh said.
The Peanut Butter Chocolate and Chocolate, 4 Bar boxes are priced at $5.49 on average.
Further, the company plans to support the products with marketing and advertising campaigns to promote sales at retail chains.
