“These two listings represent a major step forward for CWENCH Hydration™ in Canada,” said John Celenza, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Cizzle Brands Corporation. “Landing a national listing at Walmart Canada is a milestone we’ve been building toward, and doing so alongside a meaningful expansion of our availability at Loblaws and Real Canadian Superstore is a powerful signal of the demand we’re seeing at retail. Canadian consumers are telling us they want a better-for-you sports hydration option, and our retail partners are responding. We now have broader geographic reach, and placement in the two sections of the store where hydration consumers actually shop — sports nutrition and the isotonic set. This is exactly the kind of disciplined, category-leading commercialization our playbook is built around.”
