Convenience Retailer Show Daily Wednesday, October 18, 2017 8 Peanut Products from Bell Plantation Bell Plantation was born of one simple charge – to develop new and different products to deal with a large surplus of stored peanuts. From this charge a star was born: PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter. In removing 85 percent of the fat by pressing the roasted peanuts, Bell Plantation developed a tasty alternative to traditional peanut butters, and people have taken notice! PB2 is popular with athletes for its ability to add delicious fla- vor and additional protein to meals. Chefs appreciate the ease of use in recipes both savory and sweet. Anyone watching their calories or fat intake can appreciate the flavor of peanut butter without the guilt. Following in the footsteps of PB2 is Chocolate PB2, which adds premium cocoa to the mix for a rich chocolate peanut flavor that is absolutely delectable. Chocolate PB2 only tastes sinful, though, as it is just as healthful as the original PB2. Bell Plantation realized early on that the roasted peanut oil that had been pressed from the peanuts was too deli- cious to lose. Its Unfiltered Extra Virgin Gourmet Roasted Peanut Oil has a rich nutty flavor that tastes great on everything from vegetables to chicken or fish. It is a delicious addition to recipes, as a drizzle on vegetables or salads, or for sautéing to give foods a rich roasted peanut flavor. The possibilities are endless! Bell Plantation also recognizes that not everyone is look- ing for an alternative to traditional peanut butters. That is why Bell Plantation also produces Plantation 1883 Peanut Butter in both smooth and crunchy. Plantation 1883 is all natural and sweetened with a touch of molasses for an unbeatable flavor. In 2015, Bell Plantation introduced Plantation 1883 Chocolate, peanut butter with premium chocolate. Decadent, delicious and decidedly delightful, Plantation 1883 Chocolate is destined to be your next peanut butter craving. One day, the company Chief Executive Officer was putting Plantation 1883 on his crackers and thought, "What if we could turn peanut butter into crackers?" The result was Bell Plantation PB2thins, a crunchy, slightly sweet and totally addictive cracker that packs the full creamy taste of peanut butter into 100 calories with 3 grams of protein per all natural serving. Bell Plantation also pro- duces PB2thins in a gluten free version that is just as tasty as the original. As the Bell Plantation family of products continues to grow, you can count on its promise that when you buy Bell Plantation products, you are choos- ing flavorful healthy foods that are good for you and your family.

These are not your average chocolate chip cookies. The Bake Shop Bites are some of the compa- ny's most beloved, delectable recipes. The Macaroon is nothing short of an amazing thing to bite into – lightly crispy outside with a moist coconut bite on the inside, and of course it's dipped and driz- zled in dark chocolate. The Peanutter is for the peanut butter lover in all of us – a crispy vanilla cookie shell filled with smooth peanut butter, enrobed in choco- late and topped with real diced peanut chunks. The Brownie is like no brownie you have ever had before – a deliciously moist chocolate brownie enrobed in even more chocolate and finished with crushed brownie crumbs. The "S" Cookie is the com- pany's take on a classic Italian breakfast cookie with a new chocolate driz- zled twist. All Bake Shop Bites come with two pieces in each package, making the package not just ready to go, but por- tion control perfection. The Bake Shop Bites package design has gotten rave reviews. They all have a distinctly recognizable white color palette and a homemade feel to pay hom- age back to the classic bak- eries these products origi- nally came from. The days of having to go to your local bakery for quality bakery products are over. Bake Shop Bites brings the bak- ery on the go in your busy life.

One Brand Plus One Brand Can Equal Three Customers By John Owen, Chief Executive Officer, Green Chile Foods Company There is certainly a place for private label and it will always be an important part of any retailer's strategy. In many cases, it is used to fill a price point void or allow for better margin than the national brand. However, c-store and CPG brands can leverage one another for mutual growth where one plus one can equal three. C- store retailers and consumer packaged goods companies both spend money on traditional marketing and social media and should leverage one another for mutual benefit and growth. For a brand to carry serious weight in a category, it needs to be thought of as an "authority" in the mind of the con- sumer. Ranked No. 1 for growth rate among the top 10 brands in the conven- ience channel, the Green Chile brand is fast becoming an authority on southwest- ern flavors. Green Chile burritos are made in micro-batches using authentic ingredients customers can see and taste. Bold peppers, real Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, and quality proteins are care- fully rolled up and layered with signature salsas for an exceptional taste experience that will hook customers and keep them coming back for more. Consumers have high expectations. They expect to be engaged, educated, entertained, and need to believe that a brand is authentic and an expert in its field. The best c-store retail- ers offer an assortment of the strongest and most interesting brands, including their own, where appropriate. Providing an exceptional shopping environment – friendly, fast and clean – is the retailer's most impor- tant job. Brands need to create demand through exciting and innovative products. When retailers and consumer packaged goods companies stick to what they do best – their areas of authority – this combined strength can multiply customer counts and improve profitability. One plus one can equal three. Visit Green Chile at booth #2553. For more information, go to www.greenchile foods.com, call 952.666.2993 or email sales@greenchilefoods.com. WEH Offers TK17 CNG Fueling Nozzle The TK17 CNG fueling nozzle for cars is a world market leader, providing out- standing ease of operation. It has been winning customers from all over the globe for more than 10 years. In Germany, where the CNG market is well established, nearly all fueling sta- tions are equipped with this unique pistol grip nozzle. In the growing European and American CNG markets, the innovative fueling nozzle is being very well received. Maximum safety, reliability and operator convenience are all given top priority by WEH ® design engineers when developing new products. The WEH cul- ture of high quality then extends to the workmanship and exclusive use of high- grade materials. The natural result of this philosophy is a highly durable unit with minimal maintenance and downtime while providing optimal operator safety. Operation is single-handed and very simple. Just remove the fueling nozzle from the dispenser mounting and engage it to the receptacle. An integrated swivel joint facilitates handling and allows for the fueling nozzle to be turned to the best posi- tion for comfortable fueling. Retract the actuation lever for filling to begin. The gas will only flow through the fuel line if a safe and pressure-tight connection is estab- lished. When filling is finished, the fueling nozzle can be disconnected once pressure venting of the system is complete. Thanks to extremely high flow rates, vehicle refueling is fast and efficient. The filling procedure can be safely and easily interrupted or terminated at any time. The nozzle is designed to prevent accidental use outside its predetermined pressure range.
