Unique milkshake drinks from Northern Ireland are now being enjoyed by local families and visitors on the holiday island of Malta.
Millar Moo richly flavoured milk-based beverages in bottles and aluminium cans from Dunmurry’s Clarke Millar Foods, a family business producing a range of milk-based drinks are now on sale in a network of around 30 24/7 grocery stores, owned and run by Daves Foods, across the popular Mediterranean tourism resort.
Founded by experienced retailer Dave Grech in 2013, Dave’s Foods is now the leading grocery store network on the historic and popular island that also draws thousands of visitors during the holiday season.
The company began life as a single grocery shop and now aims to offer shoppers an unparalleled experience with a comprehensive range of products and excellent customer services. The milkshakes are gluten-free, fat-free and rich in protein.
Clarke Millar, an experienced food entrepreneur who founded Clarke Millar Foods in 2012, says it has supplied a significant order of Millar Moo flavoured milkshakes such as strawberry, cookies and cream and chocolate in environmentally-friendly glass bottles and convenient cans to the grocery network on Malta.
“This exciting export business for us follows our participation on the Invest NI group stand at the Farm Shop and Deli Show at Birmingham in April,” he explains.
“Dave Grech was among the many visitors to our showcase during the event. He was impressed with our Millar Moo products and our quirky branding. We started talking seriously about business soon afterwards and this led to an agreement to ship a container to Valetta, the island’s capital, for distribution to the successful stores.
“We are thrilled to be doing business with Dave’s Foods, our first beyond the British Isles, and look forward to continuing to support our new customer as its sales grow.”
Millar Moo drinks are also listed in Britain, particularly by Spar in Scotland, in the Republic of Ireland and by the Henderson Group, operator of Spar and Eurospar, and Iceland in Northern Ireland.
