"When we first started stocking Dad’s Pies family size, I was a little hesitant at first, we started out with two flavours sharing one facing and selling a couple of units per week to start off. Once we extended to the full range we tried an end display and an in-store tasting, the feedback was incredible. Everyone who tried it only had good things to say and we went from selling a few units a week to 90 family pies sold during the week of the display. We now have a good customer base repeat purchasing and are selling closer to 15-20 pies a week which we are very happy with."
