Living up to its brand motto, Black Buffalo Inc. is “Charging Ahead” into the national convenience store channel

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, January 24, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Black Buffalo Inc. — Leading Smokeless Tobacco Alternative Company — Launches Nationally into Convenience Stores with Yesway, the 2021 CSD Convenience Store Chain of the Year

Black Buffalo Inc. (“Black Buffalo” or the “Company”) today announced that its full lineup of award-winning smokeless tobacco alternative products will be available for sale to adult tobacco and nicotine consumers at all Yesway and Allsup’s stores beginning this week. Yesway has a substantial presence in the Southern United States, with stores predominantly in Texas and New Mexico, as well as seven other states. This launch marks the entry of Black Buffalo’s products into the national convenience store channel.

Since its founding in 2015, Black Buffalo has invested thousands of hours of research and development into creating the industry’s best smokeless tobacco alternative products, which include long cut and pouches varieties. The Company offers eight products that contain pharmaceutical-grade nicotine but no tobacco leaf or tobacco stem, and also has developed a lineup of ZERO-branded nicotine- and tobacco-free products. Until the Yesway launch, adult consumers could find Black Buffalo’s products exclusively online and in select regional convenience stores. Black Buffalo has experienced continued record growth, with topline revenue up approximately 6x from the beginning of 2020. The Company’s products received all three major 2021 Best New Product Awards from the convenience channel’s leading trade publications.

Black Buffalo’s Chief Growth Officer Matthew Hanson said, “We are very proud to mark our national launch in the convenience channel with an industry-leading chain like Yesway. Our experience with the Yesway team has been outstanding, and we look forward to providing Yesway’s adult tobacco and nicotine customers with our award-winning tobacco alternative products one step closer to home, at their local Yesway or Allsup’s store.”

Yesway has built a reputation for innovation and outstanding customer experience since its founding, culminating with its win as the 2021 CStore Decisions’ Convenience Store Chain of the Year, the most prestigious award in convenience retailing. Yesway has earned the respect of its peers and the loyalty of its customers by providing innovative, first-to-market, best-in-class products like Black Buffalo.

Yesway’s Senior Tobacco Category Manager Kevin Harder said, “We have seen robust demand for products that provide alternatives to adult consumers in the modern oral nicotine space. Our strong belief is that our adult customers will love the entire lineup of Black Buffalo’s products. We are excited to be the first to offer Black Buffalo’s products in the convenience channel in Texas, New Mexico, and our other locations across the United States.”
