TORONTO, Sept. 12, 2022 /CNW/ - The Well Told Company Inc. ("Well Told" or the "Company") WLCO 7HO, the female-founded wellness company that offers plant-based supplements, remedies, and other functional wellness products, is pleased to announce its launch into Bartell Drugs, the Pacific Northwest division of Rite Aid.
Ten Well Told products will soon be available at all Bartell Drugs locations, featuring a mix of the Company's capsules and new powders in compostable sachets that launched earlier this year. This is the Company's first foray into Rite Aid. Well Told launched in the U.S. just last December 2021 with 1,700 points of distribution (PODs) and by May 2022, had already surpassed its 2022 milestone of quadrupling its U.S. PODs; this new addition brings the Company's total to over 8,678 PODs in the U.S.
Monica Ruffo, founder and CEO of Well Told, stated, "We are so thrilled to announce a new partnership with such a significant U.S. retailer so soon after announcing our launch into airports across the U.S. These are very significant steps to building our business south of the border where we are just getting started."
Well Told is a female-founded, emerging plant-based wellness company that formulates, develops, distributes and sells a variety of supplements, remedies and other functional wellness products. Founded by serial entrepreneur and award-winning leader Monica Ruffo, it was after undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and deciding to take her health into her own hands that she discovered the lack of transparency and availability of clean, plant-based formulations in the wellness industry. With the mission "Clean wellness for all", Well Told's products are currently available in over 2,000 stores across Canada including several well-known retailers and recently launched in over 1,000 pharmacies in the U.S. in addition to being available at welltold.com and on Amazon.
