CORONADO, Calif. — October 20, 2026 — Jocko Fuel, the performance nutrition brand co-founded by retired Navy SEAL officer and bestselling author Jocko Willink, today announced its nationwide launch at Target. The expansion brings the brand's protein shakes, powders, and performance nutrition products to millions of new shoppers, marking a significant milestone in Jocko Fuel's rapid retail growth following strong performance in Walmart, Wawa, Wegmans, Publix, Meijer, and Vitamin Shoppe.
The launch brings Jocko Fuel to Target's growing sports nutrition and active wellness assortment, giving shoppers convenient access to products built around quality ingredients, effective formulations, and great taste. The initial assortment includes ready-to-drink protein shake 4-packs, protein powder tubs, single-serve protein powder formats, creatine, and pre-workout. “We've always had one standard: make products with good ingredients that actually deliver. No shortcuts. No compromises,” said Jocko Willink, co-founder of Jocko Fuel. “Getting Jocko Fuel into Target means more people have access to that standard. Whether you're training hard or just trying to get better every day, we've got you covered. Now get after it.”

Jocko Fuel's ready-to-drink protein shakes deliver 30g of protein with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Across its portfolio, the brand prioritizes effective ingredients, clean labels, and formulations without sucralose, Ace-K, or carrageenan’s. It's an approach designed for people who care about what goes into their bodies and expect more from the products they use every day.
“We've built Jocko Fuel by staying focused on what matters: great products, quality ingredients, and earning the trust of our consumers,” said Joe Masciantonio, President of Jocko Fuel. “Launching nationally at Target is an important step in bringing that approach to a much broader audience.
