“We are confident that the availability of our products in leading banners, coupled with increased demand for healthy energy drinks and plant-based products, supported by methodical marketing strategies will continue to translate into increased sales for GURU,” added M. Goyette.

“We are pleased to expand the presence of GURU’s organic plant-based energy drinks across Canada, thereby providing our customers with more choice in the growing energy drink category at a time when demand for organic and plant-based products is also growing rapidly. We look forward to GURU’s success as a customer traffic driver in Quebec to extend to the rest of Canada,” said Melissa Lessard, Head of Marketing and Merchandising at Couche-Tard Inc.
