Leading impulse and confectionery distributor, Bobby’s, has expanded its delivery service with the launch of the Bobby’s Brand Box, a new multi-brand delivery model giving independent retailers access to additional Bobby’s branded products and to a wider range of bestselling and trend led products.
Accessed via the rep, these will be in addition to those products already stocked on the van and all delivered straight to the store.
An increased range of Bobby’s branded products including Blue Raspberry Bon Bons, Strawberry Dazzler Bites and Fast Food Gummies will be included within the delivery service.
Alongside these will be ranges from other well-known brands including Warheads, Bonds of London, Barratt, Vimto and Sour Punch are among the confectionery ranges included within the new service.
As well as the Bobby’s branded products being carried on the van, independent retailers will be able to order a whole range of additional products from Bobby’s and other big brands directly from their Bobby’s representative.
The products will be delivered straight to the store via DPD within two working days allowing independents to remain stocked with bestselling confectionery lines from big name brands.
Retailers will be able to benefit from wholesale convenience without having to drive to the nearest cash and carry.
The products will arrive shelf-ready, and payment is handled through the regular Bobby’s rep making the service convenient and easy to use.
