Startup CPG Newswire:
Evie’s Snacks Launches Nationwide in Sprouts

PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Evie Ackerley for Evie’s Snacks

HOUSTON, TX (SEPTEMBER 2025) — Evie’s Snacks, a farm-direct, pecan snack company, announced today its nationwide launch in all Sprouts stores as part of the retailer’s Harvest Seasonal Set.

The launch represents a major milestone for the Texas-based brand, marking its first coast-to-coast retail distribution. As part of the Harvest Seasonal Set, Evie’s Snacks will undergo a 3-month test period, during which Sprouts will evaluate sales performance to determine if the products will earn a permanent place on shelves.

Product Updates Helped Secure Placement

In advance of the Sprouts launch, Evie’s Snacks reformulated two of its best-selling flavors to align with the retailer’s strict ingredient standards:
Brown Butter Rum Pecans — now Non-GMO Project Verified.
Banana Bread Pecans — removed artificial ingredients, making the product fully compliant with Sprouts’ standards.

“These updates reflect our commitment to indulgent yet clean snacking,” said Evie Ackerley, Co-Founder of Evie’s Snacks. “We want our customers to feel good about what they’re eating without sacrificing flavor.”

A Milestone for a Farm-Direct Brand

Evie’s Snacks is built on a vertically-integrated model, sourcing its pecans directly from the founders’ family farms in South Texas. The nationwide rollout at Sprouts emphasizes the brand’s growth and its ability to compete in the highly competitive better-for-you snack category.

“We’ve dreamed of the day consumers could find Evie’s Snacks nationwide,” said Colin Balickie, Co-Founder of Evie’s Snacks. “Now thanks to Sprouts, shoppers across the country can sample our crunchy, farm-direct pecans — and with the support of our community, we hope to turn this test into a permanent placement.”

Availability

Evie’s Snacks is available now in the bulk section of all Sprouts stores nationwide.
