CB Yes! We expect our Canadian business to be equally as strong and just as large per capita as our U.S. business. This means our Canadian business should be approximately 10% the size of our U.S. business, so there’s a lot of room for growth. As part of our strategic growth plan, this is the year we’re going to make it happen. To do that, we’ve invested in the team. We have a fantastic new sales director in Canada, Montana Sly, and she is already picking up significant new business
across Canada’s retailers. Our marketing team has a portfolio of flavors and sizes they can break out as needed to meet the tastes of Canadians. Some of our top flavors in the U.S. have a lot of opportunity in Canada. When we put them into the club channel, they fly off the shelves. We don’t move product in club anywhere like we move it in Canada. When you mention Blue Diamond in Canada, people list the flavors they’ve tried from the club channel because they love them and that’s how they’re discovering them. So, there’s room there for flavors like Smokehouse and Chile ‘n’ Lime. Dill Pickle was a huge mover in Canada, too. For the first time ever, Blue Diamond has become a permanent fixture in Walmart’s snack nut aisle. There’s a lot in the works with Canada’s largest retailers to expand the Blue Diamond portfolio and get the right products on the shelves. We’re working hard to ensure that Blue Diamond becomes a household name in Canada like it is in the U.S. We’ve also recently picked up some great Almond Breeze ® business in Canada, so stay tuned!
