Wonderful Pistachios brings travel retail exclusives to Orlando


First time exhibitor Paramount Farms will be bringing its Wonderful Pistachios™ brand to the Duty Free Show of the Americas in April later this year (Booth 1316, Palms Ballroom).

Wonderful Pistachios™, the top selling snack nut in the U.S. market, features California grown, dry roasted pistachios. The brand is known for its iconic "Get Crackin'" ad campaign. This year it featured rapper and Youtube sensation PSY in a popular Super Bowl spot, which first aired during the big game on February 3.

Wonderful Pistachios™ travel retail exclusive packs were first introduced to the trade at TFWA World Exhibition last October and are now being launched to the Americas region. Wonderful Pistachios™ has a bold contemporary look that appeals to a sophisticated, health-conscious consumer.




The travel retail selection includes two pack sizes: a 300g pack of best-selling Wonderful Roasted & Salted pistachios and a 275g pack of award-winning Wonderful Salt & Pepper pistachios, both carrying recommended retail prices of US$11.00. Both are offered in resealable premium-look stand up pouches and carry a global travel retail exclusive logo. In addition, there is a travel retail version of the existing 510g gift bag which includes a hang-tag with multi-lingual nutrition and ingredients details.

Says Paramount Farms Sales Director for Global Travel Retail, James Kfouri: ‘As the Wonderful Pistachios™ brand is so well known in the Americas already, we are hoping that it will be a good basis for travel retail distribution in the region. We know flavors drive incremental sales by attracting new consumers, and that there is strong, growing consumer interest in the snack nut category. Combine that with the power of the Wonderful Pistachios brand and you have a healthy win for consumers and our retailer partners.’

Currently the No. 1 snack nut brand in the US and sold in more than 30 countries around the globe, the Wonderful Pistachios™ brand has an ambitious target for travel retail. ‘We were delighted with the response from retailers at TFWA World Exhibition last year and are confident that exhibiting at the Orlando show will further show our commitment to building distribution within the market-place.’


The company has also set up a dedicated travel retail website for the brand at: www.wonderfulpistachios.com/travelretail
