Pick and Mix sweets still generate impressive profits for retailers, thanks to their diversity and novelty. But when you’re looking for confectionery, you naturally want to find a combination of value and quality. That’s what Kingsway Sweets offers.
Kingsway has a long-standing reputation in the confectionery industry, and you’ll find plenty of sweets available at Appletons. In this post, we’ll reveal the best Kingsway sweets for retailers.
Why Choose Kingsway Pick and Mix Sweets?
Kingsway sweets have been around since 1962. Created by Ray Hancock, the brand is renowned for its selection of retro and modern pick and mix sweets.
With over 60 years of experience, shoppers across the UK recognise Kingsway as a mark of quality.
When you choose to stock the company’s sweets, you can enjoy the following benefits:
- Affordability: While buying in bulk from brands like Haribo can be expensive, Kingsway is an affordable option for growing confectionery stores. For example, a 2.5 kg bag can cost just £8.49, while 3kg bags range between £11.79 and £13.29.
- Variety: If you’re looking for a diverse pick-and-mix selection, Kingsway always delivers. From retro classics to gummy favourites and fizzy sweets, there’s something for everyone, so your pick-and-mix counter can cater to all audiences.
- Dietary Options: In recent years, Kingsway has expanded its collection to suit consumers with dietary needs, including low-sugar, sugar-free, and vegan sweets.
- Trust: Kingsway’s long-standing reputation means that customers trust any sweets created by them.
The Best Kingsway Bulk Bags for Pick and Mix Sales
Kingsway has a huge collection of pick and mix sweets, and most of them are available at Appleton’s. From popular Cola bottles to fizzy sweets, chocolates, and traditional confectionery, you’ll find everything needed to keep your customers happy.
Jelly & Foam Sweets
Jelly sweets are always fan favourites because they suit both adults and children. With bags ranging from 1.5 kg to 3 kg, you can find popular options like Juicy Red Lips, Teddy Bears, Jelly Snakes, Cola Bottles, and the 3 kg Kingsway Jelly Mix.
Most people would agree that foam sweets are must-haves for pick and mix collections, and Kingsway has some great options. These include Foam Smileys, Mushrooms, and Jelly Dentures. We also have classics like Foam Bananas and Giant Shrimps.
Fizzy Sweets
Older children and teenagers love fizzy sweets for their distinct flavours and tongue-tingling effect. Kingsway has an impressive collection of fizzy sweets, available in bulk bags, including Fizzy Cola Bottles, Fizzy Worms, Fizzy Dracula Teeth, and Fizzy Tongue Painters.
For fans of sour flavours, we also stock Sour Apples, Sour Tongues, and Sour Dummies.
Chocolate and Marshmallows
Chocolate and marshmallows add texture to traditional pick and mix, while also appealing to different demographics. Luckily, Kingsway delivers on both bases, with a 3 kg bag of delicious Chocolate-Covered Toffee Drops available.
If you’re looking to add some unique confectionery to your pick and mix collection, we also have Teddy Bear Mallows, Jelly-Filled Raspberry Mallows, and Assorted Mallows.
Kingsway Vegan Sweets
Last but not least, we have Kingsway vegan sweets, which are ideal if you run a plant-based confectionery store or want to diversify your pick and mix collection. Traditional jelly options include Vegan Twin Cherries, Baby Meerkats, and Friendship Rings.
The vegan fizzy selection is also excellent, including Vegan Fizzy Bubblegum Bottles, Sour Bears, Fizzy Cherries, and Tongue Painters.
Tips for Making the Most of Your Pick and Mix Display
Pick and mix sweets can benefit your confectionery store, but you need to know how to maximise sales.
These tips help you make the most of your savings and keep your customers happy:
- Rotate Stock: Make sure you rotate your stock instead of leaving 3 kg of sweets sitting in a container, as leaving them in the bag keeps the sweets fresh.
- Use Clear Labels: Beyond labelling your confectionery for individuals with allergens, also clarify which sweets are suitable for vegans.
- Track Your Sales: It's always a good idea to track which sweets sell well and which last much longer. That way you can keep your customers happy with the confectionery they actually buy.
- Prepare for Peak Seasons: Kingsway sweets are popular, so always prepare for seasonal sales, when demand is much higher.
