FRISCO, TEXAS — Premium meat snack company Stryve Foods Inc. recently announced some new distribution decisions to help put its products into more stores nationwide.

The biltong company confirmed that it made a new partnership deal with Dot Foods that will begin in November 2024 that would help streamline Stryve’s operations, enhance operational efficiencies, and optimize customer lead times.

The companies believe the move will help Stryve with a growing demand for its three retail brands — Stryve, Vacadillos and Kalahari.

“We are thrilled to partner with Dot Foods, an established leader in distribution and logistics for the food industry,” said Chris Boever, chief executive officer for Stryve. “This partnership will help to enhance service to our retail partners, drive efficiencies, and create the foundation for further distribution gains. We look forward to leveraging Dot’s expertise and scale to maximize the reach of our brands and bring our better-for-you snacks to more consumers.”

Another new business development for Stryve included that it would move into a new leading national retailer. The company plans to announce more specific details about the retailer and where consumers can purchase its products as soon as they are available in-store in early 2025.

Stryve expects its products to be in thousands of new locations across the United States during the first quarter of 2025. 

“The meat snack category continues to grow and consumer demand for great tasting, high protein, low-to-no sugar, zero preservatives, in convenient ready to eat protein snacks is on the rise,” Boever stated. “Retailers are continuously optimizing their assortment and our air-dried meat snack brands deliver on these growing consumer behaviors.”
