for retail as well as in bulk for foodservice.

The retail display contains eight 1.27-ounce trial size packages of assorted Chewie Fruities, said Torie Burke, company co-founder. It takes up just 4- by 5 1/2-inches of space and was designed to satisfy a consumer desire for a convenience size of the candy that can be consumed on the spot or stashed in a purse, lunch box or carry on bag, Burke said. “We see this as an item that spans a variety of retail formats including specialty food, grocery, coffee and gift shops, and convenience,” she said.

The trial size has a suggested retail price of $1.69 and contains a single serving of individually wrapped pieces in an assortment of three flavors. It is available eight to a case and 12 cases to a master case. A 150-bag bulk case of the trial size package also is available.

A serving of Chewie Fruities candy provides the daily requirement of Vitamin C. The fruit chews also are available in gusseted 4-ounce peg packs with a suggested retail price of $3.99 and ship six to a case and 48 to a master case. A stand-alone display shipper for the 4-ounce size is available. Chewie Fruities are made in the USA and available in three sophisticated flavor duos of Torie & Howard’s organic hard candy, plus a flavor assortment.
