Acai Roots Adds Sysco San Diego To List of Distributors

(November 30, 2010)—Acai Roots has recently joined forces with Sysco San Diego for wholesale distribution and sale of its Frozen Smoothie Pouches throughout the San Diego region in the US.

With over 100 Sysco reps now offering their premium frozen acai pulp to numerous local food-service customers, Acai Roots hopes to gain even more territory in this already predominant district.

"Our brand awareness in San Diego is very strong, and there’s a large demand in the area for our products,” said Igor Pereira, Acai Roots CEO. “With Sysco supporting our distribution, we expect to gain a lot more territory and efficiency in the area.”
