WENATCHEE, WA - Welcome to What’s in Store. World Famous Cherries from Stemilt are in season now with harvest going on daily through September in Washington State. Stemilt cherries come straight from beautiful locales like Stemilt Hill in Wenatchee, WA where warm days and cool nighttime temperatures create the best environment for producing cherries with world famous qualities.
Stemilt and the Mathison family are celebrating the company’s 50th year anniversary in 2014. To mark the occasion, Stemilt is packing cherries in its classic white box with the company’s 50 year logo. Proper merchandising of cherries is key to any store’s success and Stemilt’s grower-centric pop-up display bins are a great way to bring cherries front and center in the produce department during key promotional periods that include the 4th of July.
Stemilt’s golden Rainier cherries are fresh off the tree and ready for promotion just after July 1st, with big promotions centered on National Rainier Cherry Day on July 11th. Also in early July, Stemilt starts packing Kyle’s Pick cherries. Named after 4th generation cherry grower Kyle Mathison, this premium cherry program puts the best cherries in pouch bags with the Kyle’s Pick logo in order to entice shoppers throughout the month of July and into August. Kyle’s Pick cherries showcase the best varieties and largest size fruits that are full of dessert flavors.
The second item in the Kyle’s Pick program series, Half Mile Closer to the Moon cherries, begins in mid-August when Stemilt cherries come from high-elevation orchards – like Mathison’s Amigos Orchards in Wenatchee, WA. Grown between 2,500 and 3,200 feet above sea level these cherries are literally cultivated a half mile closer to the moon. Stemilt’s cherry season is off and running in Washington state. With a range of merchandising support to increase impulse purchases, cherries are sure to delight shoppers throughout the summer season.
Thank you for watching What's In Store.
