Completion of McColl's roll-out
Supreme (AIM:SUP), a leading manufacturer, supplier and brand owner of fast-moving consumer products, confirms that it has completed the roll-out of its 88Vape products across McColl's 1,180 convenience store estate nationwide.
This roll-out represents the largest estate within Supreme's customer base, with full floor standing units supplied to showcase 88Vape's products. The contract, which underpins current expectations, was secured with McColl's earlier in the year following a successful trial period for the products in specific stores.
Supreme's 88Vape is the most visible value vaping brand in the UK, with the Company's ownership of the UK's largest e-liquid manufacturing facilities providing Supreme with security over both its supply and the quality of its e-liquid.
Sandy Chadha, Chief Executive Officer of Supreme, commented:
"We are delighted to have completed the roll-out of our 88Vape products into McColls, adding another 1,180 retail points to our extensive UK high street footprint. This sizable contract for our vaping division further demonstrates significant growth opportunities that exist for our business, coupled with the resilience of our growing customer base."
