Toronto-based Clearly Canadian Brands has signed an agreement with HDS Retail for placement of its new line of Gourmet Energy Snacks into both its U.S. and Canadian retail outlets.

The products will have different appearances and packaging in the U.S. and Canada. This is the first foray into the U.S. of Clearly Canadian's snack division.

HDS Retail has a footprint in major airports and train and subway stations, per Clearly Canadian. The company's Gourmet Energy Snacks line has over 30 different SKUs.
