NEW Sugar Free Bagged Sweets
17/01/2012
Following the successful launch of a range of sugar free sweets in jars under the Kingsway brand, Hancocks has unveiled a selection of popular sugar free sweets packed in £1 bags.
The brand new bagged range of six sugar free sweets includes Chocolate Eclairs, Devon Toffee, Fruit Chews, Mint Humbugs, Fruit Drops and Throat & Chest. Set to retail at a competitive £1, these new own label products, exclusive to Hancocks can achieve a strong margin for retailers.
“The sugar free category is certainly coming to the fore at the moment as a small but significantly growing sector of confectionery. Health consciousness and the growth in conditions such as diabetes are certainly playing a key part in this notable interest.
Retailers can help a number of their shoppers by providing a range of sugar free options. Now that Hancocks can offer both jarred and bagged sugar free sweets, our range can suit both the pick & mix and pre packed confectionery markets with ease” says Jonathan Summerley, Hancocks purchasing director.
The new range of bagged sugar free sweets will be available to purchase in all of Hancock’s 18 cash and carries in addition to online, within the company’s e-commerce shop. Click here to view the range.
Specialising in the wholesale of confectionery to independent retailers including convenience stores, sweets and chocolate shops, CTNs, traders, off licenses and garage forecourts, Hancock Cash and Carry offers in excess of 5,000 branded and own label confectionery products in each of its 18 sites, stretching from Glasgow to Portsmouth. There is no larger range of sweets and chocolates available in the UK!
Wholesaling all of the main brands from the leading confectionery manufacturers including Cadbury, Mars, Nestle, Kraft, Haribo, Bassetts, Lindt, Ferrero and Taveners, Hancocks also sells a substantial range of pick and mix sweets under its Kingsway own label, including many old fashioned and retro sweets in addition to more contemporary children’s favourites. Hancocks is also known for its range of value, own label and lesser known branded confectionery, which has become a key driver during the tough economic climate.
There is an ongoing program of special offers and deals on confectionery throughout the year, allowing businesses to maximise their return on confectionery.
