(the "Company", "Blender" or "Blender Bites"), (CSE:BITE)(FWB:JL4)(WKN:A3C3Y2), a Canadian company that develops and markets premium frozen organic and plant-based pre-portioned smoothie products, is pleased to announce that it has signed a partnership agreement with Horizon Grocery + Wellness ("Horizon"), to distribute is line of frozen premium organic and plant-based smoothies in Western Canada.
Established in 1976, Horizon Grocery + Wellness is Western Canada's leading distributor of organic and natural products in the dry, chill and frozen categories, as well as the natural personal care and nutritional health supplement categories. Operating out of a 186,000 square foot facility in south Burnaby, BC, Horizon's retail partners service a population of close to 37 million customers, in large metropolitan areas and small towns across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Yukon.
Horizon is also the largest supplier of major natural, grocery and independent grocery chains, independent natural health stores, buying clubs, restaurants, cafés and specialty retailers via a fleet of trucks and common carriers which fulfills and ships orders daily.

Our partnership with Horizon, including exposure to their experienced sales force, market share and established retail relationships will improve visibility of our brand to end users. I am confident that this new partnership will not only allow us to establish a rapport with new customers but will also have us witness new and multiple streams of revenue in a relatively short period of time," stated Chelsie Hodge, CEO of the Company.
