CHICAGO, December 13, 2023 (VSNewNetwork.com) - Exotic Snack Guys, a chain of international snack shops based in Chicago, has now extended its import range to include snacks from around 40 countries, such as France, Japan, South Korea, Pakistan, India, Sweden, and Taiwan. The company's expanded inventory features a diverse array of flavors, from common ones like apple, dark chocolate, and vanilla to more unique tastes including white peach, lychee, and Kobe beef, thereby enhancing its global snack selection.

The brand was established in late June this year by Zohaib Naman and Shafiq Rehman. They recognized the growing trend of international snacks among online communities and the potential for these products in areas with high foot traffic like New York and Toronto. Naman and Rehman aimed to bring similar enthusiasm to the Chicago area with their venture. Naman highlights the emotional connection people have with snacks, particularly those from their childhood or home countries.

Reflecting on his personal experiences, Naman said, "I was born in the Middle East myself. I remember walking into a Middle Eastern store and finding a candy I really liked growing up. It brought back a lot of memories for me. So, it's been good being able to do the same for other people and hearing their stories when they find candy they loved from their childhood."

Exotic Snack Guys has introduced a special order service for customers seeking specific snacks. If a desired product is not in stock, the company endeavors to source it. This approach has also aided Exotic Snack Guys in discovering new snacks to add to their inventory.

The company's rapid growth necessitated a move to a new storage and distribution facility in Bensenville. Exotic Snack Guys values the connections made through this business and is planning to expand its presence further.

Future plans for Exotic Snack Guys include opening new locations in Milwaukee, Houston, Orlando, and Miami in the upcoming months, and increasing the number of countries they import from to 100 by the end of the year.

Exotic Snack Guys, headquartered in Chicago, serves a national clientele of snack enthusiasts. Since its launch in June 2023, the company has sourced its products from approximately 40 different countries and operates both an online store and a physical retail location.
