Retailers can win a year’s worth of cookies and ‘Mary-land’ makeover for their store

Retailers can win a year’s worth of cookies and ‘Mary-land’ makeover for their store

To celebrate the successful launch of Maryland White Choc earlier this year, Fox's Burtons Company (FBC) is running an exclusive competition for convenience retailers. Five lucky retailers will have the chance to transform their stores into a "Mary-land’" with one of these retailers also winning a grand-prize of a year’s worth of stock. The competition will continue to help retailers make the most of the white chocolate opportunity in store, as the flavour continues to perform strongly, with over a quarter of GB households buying into white chocolate biscuits.

To enter the competition, all retailers need to do is purchase one case of Maryland White Choc and one case of Maryland Choc Chip* from stockists. They then need to text Maryland, their full name, business name and postcode to 85100, and upload a photo of their receipt to be in with a chance of winning. (Texts are charged at standard network rate. Please retain receipt. Internet access required for receipt upload.) If successful, they will receive everything needed to turn their store into a "Mary-land", from branded POS and themed decorations to stock to sample, with one lucky winner also receiving a year’s worth of stock.


"Maryland White Choc has gone down a treat with both shoppers and retailers, and we want to continue the fun – and what better way to do that than by transforming stores across the nation into 'Mary-lands'?" said Colin Taylor, Trade Marketing Director at FBC UK. "This initiative gives retailers the chance to create an immersive shopping experience for their customers. We can't wait to see the creativity and enthusiasm from retailers as they compete for this delicious opportunity.

“The new Maryland White Choc offers shoppers a twist on their favourite cookie and delivers even more choice down the biscuit aisle. Retailers can broaden shopper appeal with the new Maryland White Choc, with white chocolate in biscuits over indexing with younger pre-families and families, so should stock up now alongside Maryland Choc Chip Cookies. ”

This competition coincides with Maryland's return to TV screens, reinforcing the leading cookie brand’s presence in the market. On screens from August 1, the TV advert is set to reaffirm Maryland’s family-focused brand positioning.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
