A sweet twist on a tasty tradition
Article Abstract:
St Stephen, New Brunswick-based Ganong Bros has taken a series of major steps to expand its core chocolates and candy products with the addition of a line of gummy snacks made with fruit juice, kiwi- and strawberry- shaped jelly confections. The gummy fruit snacks are targeted at children aged four to 13, while the jelly confectionery is aimed at adults. The success of both has been a major stabilizer for Ganong's traditionally seasonal business. Furthermore, a cross-promotional campaign with the Royal Canadian Mint has boosted national awareness of the company and its products.

Alpine's share of he $150-million annual provincial market dropped during the late 1990s. To boost Alpine's market share, Molson, Canada's largest brewer, has taken over the product's sales function for the region.
