(OTC: MDRNF)(” Modern Plant Based Foods “) or (the “Company “), an award-winning plant-based food company, is pleased to announce that Modern Meat, its meat alternative line of products, is further expanding its presence in Alberta by reaching over 400,000 potential customers through Calgary Co-Op retail outlets.

Calgary Co-Op’s offer one-stop shopping and a growing range of products and services including local fresh food, pharmacy, fuel, wine, spirits, beer, cannabis, and home health care.
“We are excited to announce a new retail partnership for our gourmet line of plant-based products,” said Tara Haddad, Founder and CEO of Modern Plant-Based Foods. “The Calgary Co-Op has a reputation of offering a carefully curated selection of top-quality Canadian products and we are thrilled to be listed with them.”
Modern Meat continues to make steady progress penetrating the Western Canadian market and now has several trusted retail partners to help drive the brand.
“The addition of Calgary Co-Op stores is another step forward in our ongoing national expansion efforts,” stated Chris Parkinson, Brand and Relationship Manager at Modern Meat. “This is a great opportunity for us to expand our brand footprint and awareness with the goal of becoming a household name among Canadian consumers. We expect the stores to be a strong contributor toward our revenue growth as well as on-boarding a future steady stream of new retailers throughout the balance of fiscal 2021.”
