LOCALO Noodle to Launch Summer Gift Sets, Commemorating 400,000 Units Sold in First Year

Grand Bleu & Co., Inc. announced that to commemorate surpassing 400,000 total units sold of its versatile meal-replacement "LOCALO Noodle" in the 12 months since its May 2025 launch, it will release "O-chugen Gift" sets for summer greetings on its official e-commerce site starting Friday, June 19, 2026.

This year's O-chugen gift lineup includes not only LOCALO Noodle gift sets but also ice cream gifts from the plant-based patisserie ice cream brand "Dolce Ino." Customers can choose between room-temperature noodle gifts and frozen ice cream gifts depending on the recipient and occasion.

Both options combine deliciousness with a health-conscious design, and come ready for gifting with optional 'noshi' wrapping and elegant gift boxes.

■ Turning the Support of 400,000 Meals into Gifts
Since its launch, LOCALO Noodle has sold over 400,000 units in about 12 months, expanding its support from e-commerce reviews to retail stores nationwide. During this process, the company received many requests from customers who wanted to share the delicious noodles with their loved ones.

In response, the company is proposing two summer greeting options: a noodle gift for daily meals and an ice cream gift for guilt-free enjoyment. These gifts combine top-quality taste with a health-conscious and easy-to-give format, encapsulating the giver's consideration in a single box.
