Youngevity International, Inc. (YGYI), a leading omni-direct lifestyle company, and a large West Coast grocery chain with over $4.5B in annual sales signed a private label contract with CLR Roasters to produce, bulk coffee, single serve cups, whole bean, and ground coffee retail bags for their 230 traditional and price impact stores.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with this prestigious chain of stores,” said President of CLR Roasters Ernesto Aguila. “This new contract means we’ll be exposing our coffee to millions of coffee lovers and potential customers on the West Coast which represents another growth opportunity as we expand our business in California and Nevada. The first shipments under this contract are anticipated to take place this month and should continue into 2020.”
Based in the heart of the Central Valley, the grocery chain sources a wide variety of local, national, and international products for neighborhoods throughout Northern/Central California and Northern Nevada. The company employs over 14,000 team members and operates 230 traditional and price impact stores under different brands.
