“ Sergey traveled to New York with a small batch of products and found a few stores that were willing to give them a chance,” opens John McGuckin, CEO of Clio Snacks.“ The results were phenomenal; people loved the bars, and retailers wanted to come on board full-time.
“ One day, Sergey received a voicemail from a Walmart buyer, saying he was launching a new refrigerated snacking set near the yogurt and desserts section and wanted Clio to be part of it. While the opportunity was incredibly exciting, it was also very challenging. Getting Clio on Walmart shelves required a massive amount of preparation, so Sergey began to scale production and invested in a 20,000-square-foot facility which quickly continued to expand. Today, Clio operates an 80,000-square-foot site in Piscataway, New Jersey and is on track to produce more than 150 million bars in 2026.” foodchainmagazine. com 35
