Klimon has established a distribution deal with 7-Eleven, which will introduce its plant-based, dairy-free frozen desserts in pints and novelties at about 400 Southern California stores, with plans for a subsequent nationwide rollout.
Klimon’s desserts, which first appeared in grocery freezer aisles in 2022, provide an alternative to ice cream for the increasing number of consumers seeking plant-based products.
Klimon said it is riding year-over-year revenue growth of 126 percent and investing in brand-building partnerships and positioning. A recent packaging redesign placed emphasis on the “No Milk” play on words, with a new logo that features a backwards “N” and a crossed out “O.” New pints include specific color gradients for each flavor.
“The Klimon motto is ‘No Dairy. No Difference,’” said Alex Cotraviwat, Klimon’s founder and CEO. “We are meeting a need for people who want plant-based options, but our product is so creamy and delicious any ice cream lover on-the-go will be satisfied with the treats available at 7-Eleven.”
