Recently released scan data proves customers like to Experience Fall All Year® by purchasing Autumn Glory® apple, an exclusive variety from Superfresh Growers®.
In January, Autumn Glory Apple’s national sales growth was off the charts, doubling sales and leading all top-20 apple varieties in growth percentage. Sales dollars increased by 83%, and pounds increased by 103%! By comparison, only one other proprietary apple variety had a sales increase of 8% in January. Other proprietary apples experienced a decrease in both sales and volume. This is based on IRI FreshLook™ data for the four weeks ending January 27, 2019.
“With sales like this and the amazing consumer feedback we are receiving, Autumn Glory is a rising star that needs to be in everyone’s lineup,” says Mike Preacher, Director of Marketing. “These numbers prove what we have known for years, that Autumn Glory apple’s flavors -- spice with hints of caramel – attract customers year-round by reminding them of their favorite season for eating fresh apples right off the tree. Autumn Glory apple evokes harvest-season sentiments that are ingrained in us all.”
