• TiNDLE Chicken is now sold in over 1,300 stores nationwide, available for the first time in major grocery chains on the West Coast and Mountain Region
• The brand's acclaimed Stuffed Chicken products are stocked on shelves in hundreds of new stores, including Fred Meyer, Ralphs, and Smith's
• The nationwide launch and expansion into additional mainstream retailers signal a demand for great-tasting, plant-based meats from consumers across the country

CHICAGO, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TiNDLE Foods announces its largest U.S. retail expansion to date, launching in over 500 grocery locations by the Kroger Family of Stores, including Fred Meyer, Ralphs, and Smith's. This rollout celebrates a 9-fold increase in TiNDLE's U.S. retail presence in the last 12 months, as TiNDLE Chicken is now sold in over 1,300 stores, and follows the successful introduction of its Stuffed Chicken products last summer.

TiNDLE's plant-based chicken sold in retail stores are the same high-quality, gourmet-forward products that are featured on menus in restaurants and initially attracted customers to the brand. The grocery-ready TiNDLE Chicken products boast a savory, mouthwatering flavor and are made with simple, non-GMO ingredients.

Starting this week, TiNDLE Stuffed Chicken is available in 506 Kroger Family of Stores, and TiNDLE's full range of breaded chicken products are on shelves in a total of over 1,300 grocery stores across 36 states, including:

• Kroger Family of Stores across 19 states, including Fred Meyer, Fry's Food Stores, Harris Teeter, King Soopers, QFC, Ralphs, and Smith's
• 13 Bristol Farms stores across the greater Los Angeles area
• 58 Wegmans stores on the East Coast
• All GIANT and MARTIN'S stores in the Mid-Atlantic region
• All Giant Eagle stores in the Midwest

"Our launch with Kroger, one of America's largest retailers, is a major milestone for our young company," says Timo Recker, CEO and Co-Founder of TiNDLE Foods. "With this expansion and introduction of Stuffed Chicken in their store, we are able to reach more customers than ever before, while remaining deeply committed to offering the best-tasting, nutritious, and quality plant-based proteins we can create."

In addition to the fan favorite TiNDLE Boneless Wings, Nuggets, and Tenders, TiNDLE's Stuffed Chicken range is now reaching even more consumers through this latest retail expansion. The first of its kind in the plant-based category, TiNDLE Stuffed Chicken debuted last year to positive feedback – recognized for its combination of bridging easy preparation with gourmet, global flavors.

Available today in two flavors, Parmigiana and Tikka Masala, these Stuffed Chicken entrées bring bold flavors and a restaurant-quality experience straight from the freezer aisle. Each crispy, golden-brown pocket is filled with a juicy, tender plant-based center, offering a convenient, high-protein meal or satisfying snack in less than 10 minutes. With over 10 grams of protein per serving, the products also contain a good source of fiber and contain no cholesterol, animal hormones, or antibiotics.

"Since debuting our Stuffed Chicken range last year, the products have quickly become some of our top sellers, next to our popular Boneless Wings," shares Billy Whalen, Director of Sales and Marketing at TiNDLE Foods. "We are seeing that consumers are looking for plant-based products that go beyond the basics—delivering on unmatched taste, convenience, and versatility–and we feel inspired to continue innovating to meet the needs of modern shoppers."

For those not located in an area serviced by TiNDLE retail partners, TiNDLE Chicken can be purchased online through Hungryroot and VeganEssentials for nationwide delivery. TiNDLE products are also available via grocery delivery services FreshDirect in greater New York City or Good Eggs in the San Francisco Bay Area.
