Now it’s easier than ever for operators to sell cookies that taste just like homemade. Rich Products expanded its extensive cookie portfolio of over 250 options, adding three flavors to the individually wrapped OUR SPECIALTY TREAT SHOP Cookie lineup — peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, and sugar — which join the existing, delectable chocolate chip cookie. In addition, Rich’s introduced retail-ready merchandisers for three OUR SPECIALTY TREAT SHOP Cookie flavors, plus a merchandiser for the ever-popular, gourmet Christie Cookie Co. Triple Chocolate Cookie. It’s as easy as 1-2-3: operators simply remove the retail-ready display from the freezer case, thaw, and have the option to place it near the register or other display area, creating a terrific impulse sale.
“We offer a full portfolio of different solutions for pre-baked, individually wrapped cookies,” says Alyssa Barrett, customer marketing manager, Rich Products. “Rich’s delicious, pre-packaged cookies are the ideal solution for operators with tight kitchen space or who face constraints with time or labor. The homemade taste will keep customers coming back for more.”
A nostalgic treat, cookie sales continue to gain momentum. While bakery goods represent 6% of Food and Beverage sales, the category is over indexing at 15% growth (IRI Integrated Fresh Data YE 1/20/2022). Cookies are continuing to trend with 37% menu penetration and +8.8% 4-Year Growth (Datassential Menu Trends 2022).
Individually wrapped OUR SPECIALTY TREAT SHOP Baked Cookies are a delicious labor-saving option at an everyday price point. The three new flavors of peanut butter, sugar, and oatmeal raisin round out the portfolio and will inspire indulgences on the go, alongside the original fan-favorite chocolate chip cookie. All four flavors are available in bulk, while three are also offered in a retail-ready merchandiser: chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, and sugar. The 1.35-ounce cookies come 120 per case with a shelf life of 365 days frozen and 21 days ambient.
Operators seeking a gourmet cookie in a retail-ready format will be thrilled with the new countertop display from Christie Cookie Co. Featuring 12 Triple Chocolate Cookies, the classic kraft merchandiser with bright red and navy blue accents emits a homemade vibe that will pop off the shelf. The 1.4-ounce cookies come 48 per case with a shelf life of 365 days frozen and 7 days ambient.
