Staten Island, New York, June 14, 2016 (Newswire.com) - (Public Trading Symbol: “SOUP”) Soupman, Inc. (www.originalsoupman.com), makers of the best tasting small-batch soups in the world, announced today that it has shipped its first truckloads of soup to 155 Shaw’s (www.shaws.com) Supermarket stores located in the New England area.
“New Englanders are the most discerning soup lovers in the country and now they will have the opportunity to enjoy our soups, especially our seafood soups like Lobster Bisque, Crab Corn Chowder and now Shrimp Bisque. Adding Shaw’s, another division of Albertsons (www.Albertsons.com), is exciting for us as we look forward to continued growth with this great retail partner. Our expanding distribution including Shaw’s, Bi-Lo Winn Dixie, Heinen’s and others this Spring should help us achieve our internal sales projections for the balance of the year and beyond, said Jamieson Karson, Chief Executive Officer.”
The Soupman will make personal appearances at the Shaw’s stores this Fall and Winter signing autographs and sampling the Soupman soups to the guests.
Soupman has added two new flavors to its lineup this year, Shrimp Bisque and Turkey Stew, bringing to 8 the number of varieties of Soupman soup that are available in supermarkets around the country.
