iDEAL Hospitality Partners to Showcase Nightfood at Major Hotel Industry Trade Show

Sleep-Friendly Snacks to be Introduced to Thousands of Hotel Owners at Asian American Hotel Owners Association Conference


Tarrytown, NY - (NewMediaWire) - March 15, 2022 - – Nightfood Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), the sleep-friendly snack company addressing the $50 billion Americans spend annually on nighttime snacks, announced today that iDEAL Hospitality Partners will be exhibiting and promoting Nightfood snacks at the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) 2022 conference and trade show in Baltimore from April 12 – April 15, 2022. 

The Asian American Hotel Owners Association is the largest hotel owner’s association in the nation and its 20,000 members own approximately 60 percent of the hotels in the United States.  The association’s annual show welcomed more than 6,000 attendees in 2021. 

Nightfood is focusing distribution efforts on the hotel vertical, where the top 5 hotel brands account for over 26,000 properties among the 56,000 total hotels in the United States, according to the American Hotel & Lodging Association. 

On the heels of a successful retail pilot test by a leading global hotel brand in 2021, Nightfood expects its sleep-friendly positioning and formulations will serve as a unique and powerful competitive advantage in the hotel lobby shop environment over conventional snacks.  The hotel brand that conducted the test has initiated the process to launch Nightfood ice cream pints into one of its largest chains, with more than 500 locations in the United States.

 “We believe hotel lobby shop distribution offers Nightfood a clear path to rapid growth and profitability,” commented Nightfood founder and CEO Sean Folkson.  “We have now established relationships with our first global hotel brand, a leading hospitality-industry group purchasing organization, and the largest snack distributor in the hospitality vertical.  With an anticipated increase in awareness through AAHOACON, we believe the pieces are in place for significant growth in 2022.” 

Recognizing that hotels have an inherent obligation to help support better sleep for their guests, Nightfood engaged iDEAL Hospitality Partners to accelerate its hotel rollout.  Once Nightfood’s initial hotel distribution is in place, further growth is expected to come both from corporate-level deals with additional hotel chains as well as decisions made at the local level by individual hotel owners and hotel management companies.   

“My team and I have already had conversations with dozens of hotel management companies representing well over 1,000 hotels that have told us they intend to add Nightfood to their assortment as soon as it’s in distribution,” stated Jill Rigsbee, iDEAL CEO.  “Likewise, we’re expecting great results from AAHOACON22.  Our goal is distribution secured for Nightfood in 7,500 hotels within nine months of initial launch.” 

Nightfood’s initial purchase orders into national hotel distribution are expected to be received this month.  The Company’s future plans for Nightfood include sleep-friendly versions of all the most popular nighttime snack choices, including cookies, chips, candy, and single-serve ice cream novelties.

About Nightfood

Nightfood is pioneering the nighttime snack category.

Over 80% of Americans snack regularly at night, resulting in an estimated 700 million nighttime snack occasions weekly, and an annual spend on night snacks of over $50 billion.  The most popular choices are ice cream, cookies, chips, and candy.  Recent research confirms such snacks, in addition to being generally unhealthy, can impair sleep, partly due to excess fat and sugar consumed before bed.

Nightfood’s sleep-friendly snacks are formulated by sleep and nutrition experts to contain less of those sleep-disruptive ingredients, along with a focus on ingredients and nutrients that research suggests can support nighttime relaxation and better sleep quality.
