Rise of Korean Flavors: KPOP Foods Brings Korean Flavors to More Than 1,300 Retail Locations Across the U.S.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- KPOP Foods, the new Korean food brand inviting people to discover and enjoy Korean food and flavors, announced today its launch into Fresh Thyme Market and The Fresh Market further expanding its retail locations.

"The pandemic has shifted consumers' relationship with food; desiring more authentic ethnic flavors as well as preferring the convenience of cooking restaurant-style meals at home," said Theo Lee, Chief Executive Officer at KPOP Foods. The Company's mission of "uplifting spirits and bringing people together by making Korean flavors more accessible," is aligned with and eagerly catering to this current shift in the US food landscape. Combining quintessential Korean ingredients such as premium 100% real gochujang with familiar American flavor profiles, the brand is spearheading the rise of fun and easy-to-use Korean inspired flavors.

With humble beginnings as a successful Kickstarter campaign by two UCLA Anderson students, the Company has evolved from a modest Amazon store-front to occupying retail shelves throughout the United States. KPOP Foods is currently in popular retail chains such as Bristol Farms, Lowe's Foods, Hy-Vee, as well as independent local markets. Recent retail additions expected to launch in Q4 of this year include Safeway Eastern, Acme Markets, Giant Foods, Tom Thumb, Randalls, and Albertsons in Texas.

From July 2020 to July 2021, KPOP Foods has experienced a growth of nearly 400% in store count. With the addition of Fresh Thyme Market and The Fresh Market in August 2021, the Company is showing no signs of slowing its retail expansion and its quest of bringing Korean flavors to the mainstream.
