To mark the start of the Commonwealth Games on the 28th July, the UK’s leading confectionery wholesaler Hancocks is sharing their top sports themed treats.
The Commonwealth Games will bring together families and friends across the nations to watch the major multi-sport event, and what would be a better snack to accompany the games than a selection of sports themed confectionery?
The range from Hancocks includes treats for all, from sports fanatics to those who are looking to fill their snack table with fun game-changing sweets for their watch party.
Retailers looking to fascinate football fans should add Lion Football Gums to their pick n’ mix display. They’re fruit and liquorice flavoured hard gums in the shapes of football gear. Retailers can bulk buy these customers’ favourites in 2kg boxes.
Another great themed pick n’ mix option is Chocolate Flavour Sports Balls that are individually foil wrapped and look like a variety of balls used in basketball, football, golf and American football.
As well as a huge selection of pick n’ mix, Hancocks also offers a range of sweet tooths’ favourite sharing bags, including Bonds I Like Pina Coladas flavoured jelly sweets and Vimto Juicy Mix Ups.
They also have a wide range of Bonds Shaker Cups with candy assortments to cater to a variety of tastes, including Bonds Rainbow Vibes, Cherries and Berries, Giant Fizzy Cola Bottles and Vimto Shake Ups.
Shaker cups are more hygienic, require less space in store, offer portion control and are easy to open and reseal.
There’s also something for the little sports fans – the Crazy Candy Factory brand offers fun novelty sweet treats that the kids will love. They’ve got strawberry flavoured Gummy Hot Dogs and Doughnuts, as well as new Rainbow Stackerz lollipops.
Chris Smith, Marketing Communications Manager at Hancocks said: “With the Commonwealth Games around the corner, now is the ideal time for retailers to stock and display sports themed sweets and share bags that will appeal to sports fans of all ages.
“Customers will be looking for something to nibble on while they’re cheering on to their favourite teams and athletes with their loved ones from the comfort of their homes.
“We’re expecting ball game themed pick n’ mix treats, jelly candy share bags and shaker cups to be especially popular among customers in the upcoming weeks.
“Make sure to stock up soon to not miss out on the opportunity of the potential influx of sales ahead of the major sports celebration.”
