The Plant-based seafood company’s new crab cakes available in new markets through new Sysco, U.S. Foods, Fancy Foods Inc. and Webstaurant.com
GWYNN’S ISLAND, VA. (November 1, 2022) – After a year of launching new products, activations, and winning awards, Mind Blown™ by The Plant Based Seafood Co. has announced expansion with a number of wholesale food distributors. Their Mind Blown Crab Cakes are now available in the NY, NJ and Conn. area through Fancy Foods Inc.; in Riverside, Calif. through Sysco; DC, Md., Va. metro area through U.S. Foods, and available to operators nationwide online at www.webstaurant.com.
With the expansion, Mind Blown Crab Cakes will be on the menus of more restaurants, with the first of many being All Surf No Turf in Clifton, N.J. that is now offering Mind Blown Crab Cakes.
“We’re thrilled that more people will have the option to choose a seafood alternative and see that anything seafood can do, Mind Blown can do just as well!.” said Mind Blown Co-Founder and CEO Monica Talbert. “This is just the beginning of an aggressive foodservice channel push, which will give diners more options to enjoy a delicious seafood experience while at the same time relieving pressure off our precious oceans.”
This isn’t the first major splash Mind Blown has seen this year with distribution. In July, the Mind Blown Crab Cakes, Dusted Shrimp and Scallops became available nationwide at all Sprouts Farmers Market locations, marking the brand’s first national distribution.
