“Shoppers consistently recognize Hy-Vee as America’s favorite grocery store – it’s a natural fit for their Midwest stores to feature the country’s premier dairy-free frozen desserts,” said Cotraviwat. “KLIMON shares Hy-Vee’s commitment to quality, innovation and giving customers what they crave – delicious, sustainable options with zero compromise and ultimate indulgence.”
Hy-Vee, Inc. is an employee-owned corporation operating more than 550 business units across eight Midwestern states with sales of more than $13 billion annually.
Introduced in 2022, KLIMON grew quickly to include new product lines, like Minions-branded pints and non-dairy ice cream sandwiches, which are now available at west coast 7-Eleven locations and MLB’s Oracle Park. KLIMON recently launched a plant-based soft-serve frozen dessert and three-gallon scoopable tubs for food service—including restaurants, corporate and college campuses, theme parks, sports and other entertainment venues.
