From January 26-28, Royal Wholesale exhibited an array of confectionery offerings at the 141st Philadelphia National Candy, Gift, & Gourmet Show. This year’s show took place right in our backyard at the Crowne Plaza- Philadelphia in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Having been an exhibitor at this show for 25 years, we always look forward to attending and this year was no different. 

One of the questions the employees here at Royal get asked the most is, “What is it like working in a candy warehouse?” The answer is simple: It’s pretty sweet! Our warehouse is filled to the brim with gummy candies, bulk chocolate, lollipops, and tons of other fresh bulk candies. It’s hard to resist all of the sweet temptations around us, but we’d do anything to provide our customers with the highest quality wholesale chocolate and candy. One of the aspects of Royal that we take great pride in is our candy warehouse. It's our central operating hub and it’s where we house the most important part of our business… our confectionery inventory!

The hottest new products in the confectionery industry are candies and chocolates that contain CBD and THC. Here at Royal, we now carry a high-quality line of CBD gummies and tinctures from Funky Farms as well as a decadent array of CBD chocolates from Incentive Gourmet. While we know these products are delicious and contain high-quality CBD, we understand that many of our customers have a lot of questions and concerns when it comes to these types of products, and rightfully so. For those of you who are new to CBD, the information available on the subject can be confusing. We’ve put together this blog post to help answer some common questions related to CBD confectionery so that you can feel confident in choosing which products are right for you.

The Early “Roots” of Licorice

From traditional black licorice and red licorice to newfangled flavors like lime and blue raspberry, licorice candy has a pretty sweet history. It’s been around for thousands of years as there’s evidence that suggests it was a present in Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Roman, and Hindu civilizations. Back in its early days, licorice was not the sweet treat as we know it but rather used as an herbaceous plant revered for its medicinal properties. So how did “licorice” become a term used to refer to a type of candy?

Have you ever considered selling candy in your store’s checkout area? It’s a great way to get your customers to add last-minute, impulse purchases to their order and increase your sales revenue. Maybe you already have a selection of sweets at your register, but they’re not exactly flying off the shelves. There’s more to an effective checkout display than you might think. Simply piling up candy on your counter isn’t the way to go. Selling candy at checkout requires a well thought out approach in order to be successful. Here are a few tips to help you start assembling a killer candy checkout area.

No matter what it is you’re looking for these days, it seems like there are more options than ever. Just take a look at the choices you have in the cereal aisle of a supermarket or drive down a local street and count the number of pizza shops. Seeing as how National Candy Cane Day is December 26th, it had us thinking about how many new candy cane flavors have hit store shelves lately. While many of the new flavors sound delicious such as Swedish Fish and Cookies and Cream, others are downright weird. Here are 5 of the weirdest candy cane flavors you can try this holiday season.

Here at Royal, a bulk candy wholesaler, many of us had our prime trick-or-treating years during the ’80s and ’90s. October 31st was a day filled with excitement and anticipation as we readied our costumes, grabbed the biggest pillowcase we could find, and took to the streets with our parents or friends for a night filled with fun and sugar-filled treats. Ask a kid today what their Halloween looks like and they’ll likely have a very different answer. Halloween traditions and celebrations have been changing recently and even the day Halloween is celebrated on could be changing very soon. So why, you may ask, is Halloween moving? Where is it going? Here’s the scoop.
