Wolfgang Candy Now at Linens 'n Things

Hanging out in line at of one of the nation's top retailers is a position that Wolfgang Candy is elated to hold. Why? Because Wolfgang's Dark (delicious) Chocolate Berries have found themselves a happy home in a display right near the check out registers at Linens 'n Things (LNT). This enviable spot marks Wolfgang's first ever national retail account, and it represents a new and hopefully ongoing relationship with the beloved retailer (whose customers eagerly await its next coveted 20% off discount coupon with fevered anticipation.)

Linens 'n Things, Inc., headquartered in Clifton, New Jersey, is the biggest of the large-format retailers of home textiles, housewares and decorative home accessories in the United States. The folks at Wolfgang Candy are delighted to be one of the "Things" discovered by LNT's Buyer, Christina Pontilena at the Fancy Food Show in New York.

Christina, a lover of dark chocolate, tasted Wolfgang's Berries at the show, and then brought her manager, Sean Jackson, back to the Wolfgang booth to sample a few more. They were hooked on the clever packaging of the Berry pouches and baskets and enthusiasm of the family-owned team representing Wolfgang at the show. With an eye for what's hot, Christina knew the dark, anti-oxidant rich fruit-filled chocolates would be a super product for LNT's discriminating customers. Christina said, "I am truly amazed at the company's unique ability to preserve a whole berry in chocolate for one year, I have yet to see this amongst any chocolate manufacturer."

Thanks to the efforts of Wythe Will Distributing, LLC, responsible for bringing finer food favorites to LNT and stores like Fresh Market and Cracker Barrel, Wolfgang's Dark Chocolate Berries have hit the shelves throughout the US. Wythe Will CEO, Gordon Angles, shared that he was "impressed with the cutting-edge packaging of the Berries pouches and their ability to capture a buyer's attention."

The Dark Chocolate Berries are being distributed throughout US LNT stores by Wythe Will. Gordon continued, "I recognize Wolfgang Candy's commitment to producing high quality chocolates that is enhanced by their creative berry packages. I expect they will be very appealing to consumers." In addition to Wolfgang Chocolates, the distributor ships over 6,000 unique items to more than 1,500 retail customers every week from their headquarters and climate controlled 100,000 square foot distribution center near Williamsburg, Virginia.

Christina reports that the first weeks of Wolfgang Chocolate sales at Linens 'n Things went quite well and they are anticipating great success for this first quarter. So, the next time you head to LNT for some fluffy new towels or ocean scented candles, make sure you pick up a package of dark chocolate Wolfgang Berries to raise your anti-oxidants and endorphins for the ride home!
