Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA-based SweetPea has expanded retail distribution of its “un-dairy” frozen dessert pints to Lowes Foods outlets in North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as Vallarta Supermarkets in Los Angeles and elsewhere in Southern California.
Launched online earlier this year, SweetPea is a creamy, non-dairy treat made of protein-packed chickpeas that deliver half the calories, half the fat and all the taste of traditional ice cream.
Lowes Foods has been a popular grocery store fixture in the Carolinas for more than 60 years, while Vallarta Supermarkets is one of the largest Latino-owned grocery chains in California. The two retail operators are the first in each respective market to carry SweetPea products.
“It’s an honor to be listed at Lowes and Vallarta, as they’re both supermarket retailers we highly respect,” said SweetPea co-founder Heather Romens. “And we’re excited to have the opportunity to introduce our products to ice cream lovers on both the East and West Coasts.”
SweetPea will be available in more stores nationwide over the next few months. The nine-flavor line includes: That’s a Mean Vanilla Bean; Peanut Butter Bomb; Must Do Cold Brew; Mango Tango (feat. Peach); One ‘n Only Cookies ‘n Cream; Salted Caramel’s Sweet Talkin’ Pralines; T.G.I.PieDay: Raspberry; 3 Parts Chocolate; and Hello, Cookie Dough!
