SAN FRANCISCO — Hero Bread has announced the national retail launch of its better-for-you bread and baked goods, increasing its retail presence from 23 stores to 2,300 across 32 states by the end of May. This move is driven by the 54% push in consumer repeat purchase rate in the first five months on grocery store shelves.
“This new funding will be essential to expanding our reach and fueling product innovation so we can further our mission of creating game-changing bread and baked goods,” said Cole Glass, founder and CEO of Hero Bread. “Our early performance in the direct-to-consumer and grocery retail channels signaled to investors the incredible demand and quality of our products, so our priority going forward this year is accelerating availability to meet consumer demand both online and in retail.”
