NEW YORK, June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Perky Jerky, a high-protein ultra-premium jerky snack, has been experiencing strong success as the only featured item in every check lane of all stores within the Southern Pacific Region of Whole Foods Market.

We've witnessed great success with this product in the Southern Pacific Region of Whole Foods Market and look forward to a long-standing relationship with the brand."

To support the Whole Foods Market "Real Retail" program, Perky Jerky has enacted a series of unique marketing stunts throughout California.
