Paramount Farms will be showcasing its Wonderful Pistachios brand once again this year at the IAADFS Duty Free Show of the Americas (Stand number: 1438). The brand plans to promote its “˜good-for-you’ pistachio products in exclusive packs for travel retail.
This year the brand will present the travel snack range in new merchandising units. Specially designed for travel retail, the floor-standing units will be strongly branded in the signature black and green Wonderful brand colours with silk screen printing, magnetic side boards to enable messaging to be changed, casters for movability around the store and a combination of metal hooks and baskets for display.

Since launching into travel retail in 2012 with a 300g pack of best-selling Wonderful Roasted & Salted pistachios, a 275g pack of award-winning Wonderful Salt & Pepper pistachios and a 510g gift bag, the Wonderful Pistachios brand has achieved numerous listings with retailers across the Americas including Saveria at JFK, DFS San Francisco, London Supply Argentina, Sineriz Uruguay, Bernabel Uruguay, Mannah srl Paraguay and ARI Caribbean Barbados.
Wonderful brand awareness will have been boosted by the brand’s new Super Bowl campaign, starring Stephen Colbert, Emmy-award winning host and executive producer of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report”. The spots will kick-off a new, full-year agreement with Colbert under the campaign theme, “Get Crackin’, America.”
Paramount Farms Sales Director Australia/SE Asia James Kfouri said: “We’ve been very pleased with reaction to the Wonderful Pistachio brand and the uptake from retailers. Sell-through is positive, proving that there is clearly a consumer demand for good-for-you savoury snacks which, at the same time, are still fun to eat and tasty. For the Americas – North and South – we believe that the brand’s Super Bowl sponsorship and relating adverts starring Stephen Colbert give further opportunities for promotion and sales.
“We understand the importance of merchandising units as a retail tool. As a consequence we have spent some time developing units which address this need and look forward to highlighting these in Orlando this year.”
