Fast-growing Irish food company Strong Roots has secured a listing for its products in more than 2,000 Walmart stores just over a year after it expanded in the US. Mr Dennigan is a former EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, and last year Strong Roots won the Local Enterprise of the Year award at The Irish Times Business Awards. The US market for plant-based food hit $5 billion last year, and is growing at five times the rate of total food sales. Strong Roots earlier this year also appointed former Bewleys group chief operating officer Fergal McGarry as its COO. The company has sold more than 8 million products globally.
