Welcome to What's In Store! Columbia Marketing International has kicked off the New Year with its long-awaited KIKU® brand apple program. The red-stripped appearance and crunchy flesh KIKU® has become an annual crowd pleaser. The unique apple is packed and ready to hit the produce section, presenting super sweet flavor and great eating quality. In fact, many consumers have stated that KIKU® apples may be the sweetest apples they have ever tasted. CMI KIKU® shippers are available in both a five box euro display that features bulk fruit and tote bags; and a two box euro display with 2 pound pouch bags. All KIKU® tote bags and pouch bags come complete with the story of the KIKU®, its parentage, flavor profile and more. Totes also have a PLU number on the handle to ensure proper identification at the register. All bags present a QR code that leads consumers to quick tips on the brand, a grower video, recipes, craft ideas and contest information. The company has zeroed in on color and sugar standards this year and is confident that consumers will enjoy this year's KIKU® eating experience. CMI has begun shipping with supplies lasting for the next 7-8 weeks. The KIKU® brand apple has grown a large following over the last four years; both at the retail counter and in homes alike. With New Year's resolutions to eat healthier and consume more fruits and vegetables, now is the perfect time to promote the KIKU® and experience Fresh Apple Emotion.
