We have a new range of small pads at the counter and, as with the last range they are selling well. They work better for us than major brand candy – because they are unique to us in our centre whereas many others sell the major brand candy around us.
At my Frankston newsagency, where we have a confectionery story at the counter, we are reconsidering purely on a return on shelf space basis.
It doesn’t make sense to me that we think of ourselves as a convenience store or supermarket when it comes to this candy at the checkout.
