American Candy
**..
American candy isn’t a new concept by any means, but some sweets are harder to find than others. When you stock up on candy from the US, you’re pretty much guaranteed sales.
Sure, your customers have probably tried the classics like Reese’s and Hershey's - but there’s so much more on offer.
Top US confectionery options include:
Hard Candy
Deliciously crunchy and available in a range of flavours, hard candy is always an instant hit. Cinemas and sweet kiosks can capitalise on convenience with Airheads Theatre Boxes, which are an American classic.
Looking for something new and unique? Then you’ll want to check out Mike & Ike candy. Popular flavours include Cotton Candy, Sour Blue Raspberry, and Berry Blast.
Soft Candy
Soft candy is suitable for younger children, making it a must-have for your shop, cinema, or sweet cart. You’ll find a massive selection of sweets available, including Nerds Big Chewy and Gummy Clusters, which feature the same infamous flavours as classic Nerds candy.
Now for another all-American classic: Red Vines. These fruity treats are incredibly moreish and perfect for a movie night.
Vegan Sweets
**.
Veganism used to require a significant sacrifice, but that’s no longer the case. From meat-free substitutes that taste like the real thing to creamy chocolate and confectionery, vegans have a range of options available.
When you stock up on these delicious sweets, you’ll keep animal lovers happy:
-
Bubs: Bubs is a Swedish brand that became instantly popular thanks to its foam sweets. Anyone can enjoy these delicious treats, including Foam Banana Ovals or Strawberry & Pomegranate Ovals.
-
Gummy Sweets: From Red Lips and Cola Bottles to Baby Dolphins and Meerkats, there’s an endless selection of vegan sweets available.
-
Fizzy Sweets: Everyone loves a fizzy sweet, and these vegan options are pretty much indistinguishable from non-vegan options. Stock up on a range of flavours, including Cola Bottles and Dracula Teeth, or grab a 2k mix of Candycrave Fizzy Sweets.
Sugar-Free Sweets
From sweets to snack on at the cinema to impulse buys at the corner shop, parents want to give their children treats but also promote healthy options.
Sugar-free sweets are the perfect solution for everyone, because they’re much healthier than traditional sweets, and modern options still taste amazing.
We have a vast selection of sugar-free sweets available at great prices. Here are some of our most popular options:
-
Astra: Astra sweets are similar to Haribo with one key difference: there’s no sugar. Options like Cola Bottles, Teddy Bears, and Fruit Salad are always popular and ideal for young children.
-
Brays: Brays offers traditional sweets in a diabetic friendly format, including Pineapple Rock, Pear Drops, and Fruit Drops.
-
Thornes: Thornes is another popular confectionery brand, known for its sugar-free toffee sweets. Grab a huge bag of Assorted Toffees and keep adult customers happy.
Fudge & Chocolate
**-
Creamy, indulgent, and immensely tasty are just three words to describe chocolate and fudge. Sure, they’re classics, but some delicious creations will delight your customers and keep them coming back for more.
Creative Fudge
Brands like Fudge Factory have taken the traditional idea of fudge and given it a makeover. Instead of conventional vanilla, rum and raisin, and chocolate fudge, you can add a burst of colour to your confectionery stand with:
No matter which flavours you choose, both adults and children will love the bright colours and delicious taste of these epic fudge creations.
Chocolate
You’ll find plenty of classic chocolate bars on our website, but if you want to give your customers something unique, then Le Professeur is one of the best newer brands.
The company creates chocolate bars that burst with flavour, including the trending Dubai-style chocolate. Adults who prefer stronger tastes will love the Sour Blueberry Popping Candy flavour.
For cinemas and sweet carts, it’s all about convenience. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites make a change from traditional Cadbury and other British chocolates, while Milk Duds are one of the most loved sweets in the US.
Drinks for Maximum Sales
Combining sweets and drinks into affordable deals is an excellent way to increase your sales and entice customers.
Yes, you can opt for the classics, including Cola, Lemonade, and well-known brands - but here are some unique drinks that will tantalise the taste buds of prospective customers:
Slush Drinks
Slush drinks are huge sellers - even in the colder months. They’re essential for cinemas, but corner shops can also generate impressive profits by offering them. Traditional flavours like Blue Raspberry and Strawberry, but you can also find more unique flavours.
Unique Drinks
One of the most popular soft drinks in the USA is Root Beer, but it’s hard to get hold of in the UK. Stocking up gives your customers a unique treat. Sour drinks are also growing in popularity, including options from Warheads, such as Sour Peach and Watermelon flavours.
