PRETZELS
Hard Year and Soft Sales
It hasn’t been the best of years for pretzels, with dollar sales increasing a mere 0.6% during the past year and volume down 4.7%, according to SymphonyIRI Group. But softened sales figures aren’t preventing pretzel producers from being optimistic and preparing for the future — and developing new variations. Market leader Snyder’s-Lance, Inc., Charlotte, NC, sold $267.3 million under its Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzels brand during the past year ending March 18, according to data developed for the Snack Food Association by SymphonyIRI Group. This amounted to a 1.6% increase over the previous year. However, the brand’s unit sales declined 7.1%, and volume slipped 3.9%. The company’s 100-Cal-pack pretzels generated another $11.4 million in sales, although unit sales were off 5.9% and volume down more than 13%, during the same period. Nevertheless, on Feb. 21, Snyder’s-Lance announced construction of a new research and development center in Hanover, PA, located near one of the company’s largest baking facilities. There, experts will research, develop and enhance new and existing products across the company’s entire line of snack foods, including Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzels, Lance Sandwich Crackers and Cape Cod Potato Chips. The new facility will carry a LEED Silver Certification, meeting the requirements of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system for the construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. All of the center’s electricity will be generated by the company’s 26-acre solar panel farm located nearby. The project is expected to be completed later this year. The company’s new pretzel products include GlutenFree Pretzel Sticks, York Peppermint Chocolate Pretzel Sandwiches, Bacon Cheddar Pretzel Pieces and Gluten-Free Mini Pretzels.
