PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Emily Scorgie for Maïzly

CARY, NC (JUNE 2026), Maïzly, a milk alternative made from non-GMO corn, is continuing its rapid retail expansion across the U.S. as Harris Teeter now stocks both Maïzly Original and Maïzly Chocolate in stores nationwide. With this latest launch, Maïzly is now available in more than 2,000 retail locations across the country.

“Harris Teeter has always been a recognizable and trusted name throughout North Carolina, which makes this launch especially meaningful for us as a Cary-based brand,” says Tim Leclercq, Founder of Maïzly. “We’re proud to earn a place on their shelves and excited to give Harris Teeter shoppers a new hometown brand to discover, support, and make part of their everyday routine.”

The Harris Teeter expansion marks another major milestone for the fast-growing brand following recent launches in Central Market, Winn-Dixie, and ShopRite, as well as continued growth within coffee shops and independent retailers nationwide. Adding to this momentum, Maïzly Original recently received the 2026 TASTY Award from NECTAR, recognizing standout dairy-free products, and earned Gold for Taste at the 2025 CPG Food & Beverage Magazine Awards. These recognitions reinforce Maïzly’s role in challenging the traditional plant-based milk space with a more inclusive option that delivers on both flavor and function.

Founded in 2019 by Marcel van der Merwe and Tim Leclercq, Maïzly is redefining the plant-based milk category with the world’s first non-GMO corn milk alternative. Maïzly delivers both functionality and flavor in every sip, powered by soluble corn fiber that supports digestion and promotes beneficial gut bacteria. Designed as a more inclusive and sustainable option for modern consumers, Maïzly is dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, seed-oil-free, and allergen-friendly.

Sustainability is central to the brand’s mission, with non-GMO corn requiring less land and water than many other plant-based ingredients while also enabling sourcing closer to its markets to help reduce food miles and environmental impact.
