(“Candyverse” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce that in the month of January 2022, the company delivered a 100% customer fill rate on purchase orders received of over 8,000 retail ready cases of its delicious Better Bears™ candy products.

We see a continued upward trend in purchase orders for our Better Bears products as we expand our product SKUs, sales channels and points of distribution. We’ve barely scratched the surface in terms of our total potential retail footprint in North America.”
