Kaival Brands Innovations Group Inc (NASDAQ:KAVL) is the exclusive distributor of all the products manufactured by BIDI Vapor LLC and includes the BIDI Stick, which is an electronic nicotine delivery system. The product is meant for adults aged 21 and over.
On June 15 the company announced that it had made the initial shipment of BIDI Sticks to as many as 900Kwik Trip and Macpo outlets. The company hopes to take the number to 1200 outlets through the course of 2023. Out of those 1200 locations, Kiwk Trip would represent more than 900 locations.

It was a momentous week for Kaival Brands since the shipment to such a large number of new outlets could only prove to be a big boost for the company in the long term. It would be interesting to see how the market reacts to the news over the coming days.
