Stryve Foods Announces Nationwide Brand Expansion of Vacadillos Products Throughout U.S. 7-Eleven Stores

Award Winning Air-Dried Meat Snack Brands Drive Innovation into Better-for-You Snacks Market

PLANO, Texas, April 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stryve Foods, Inc. (“Stryve” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: SNAX), the premium air-dried meat snack company that is conquering the intersection of high protein, great taste, and health under the brands of Braaitime, Kalahari, Stryve, and Vacadillos continues to expand distribution nationwide.

Vacadillos, the fastest growing brand in the meat snacks category delivering on-trend Latin inspired offerings, is capitalizing on its momentum and has expanded its presence with the rollout of its newest products. Vacadillos’ newest flavor of Carne Seca, Chipotle Honey, is seasoned with bold flavors using ingredients that consumers know. These thinly sliced strips of flavorful steak, air-dried and seasoned to perfection, bring the ultimate blend of sweet and heat to the franchise.

In addition, the Company’s research and development team has created NEW air-dried meat sticks in popular Chili Lime and Habanero flavors. These breakthroughs will delight consumers with superior taste to compliment the healthy delivery from the Company’s innovative air-dried processes. All three items are now available nationwide at leading convenience store chain, 7-Eleven, in a feature display dedicated to the brand.  

“Our mission at Stryve Foods has been about expanding the meat snack category with better-for-you options, while setting a new, higher standard of taste. We are excited to partner with 7-Eleven as we bring innovative, customer favorite solutions that enable category growth,” said Chris Boever, Chief Executive Officer of Stryve Foods.
