Jannis Other Candy Wholesale & Bulk

Jannis fills a gap that few import candy distributors address well: Greek traditional confectionery. This isn’t gummies, chocolate, or hard candy — it’s sesame crunch bars, nut brittle, loukoumi (Greek Delight), and coconut sticks, all made in Greece and imported to North America. Twelve SKUs across bars, bagged, boxed, and bulk formats, with case weights from 0.66 lb to 1.23 lb, available through the Jannis wholesale catalog.

Sesame and Nut Crunch — The Core Range

The sesame crunch bar is the backbone of the Jannis catalog, offered across multiple formats and sizes to cover different retail needs. The Sesame Crunch Bar comes in 70g and 40g sizes, the Organic Sesame Crunch Bar Bio at 40g, and the Sesame and Honey Soft Bar at 30g — a softer texture variant that appeals to customers who prefer less crunch but still want the sesame and honey flavor combination. The bagged mini formats — Mini Sesame Crunch Bars 150g and Mini Almond Crunch Bars 150g — give you flexibility to merchandise for individual snacking at point of sale or for bulk bin retail. The organic option is particularly relevant for health food retailers and natural food co-ops that require organic certification on specialty confectionery items and use it as a purchasing filter.

The nut crunch bars expand the range beyond sesame. Mini Hazelnut Crunch Bars and Mini Mixed Nut Crunch Bars are Greek confections that fall between a brittle and a bar — crunchy, nut-forward, distinctly Mediterranean in character. They’re a natural fit alongside sesame bars in a dedicated Greek confectionery display or alongside other European nut confections in a specialty food section.

Greek Delight (Loukoumi) — Boxed Gift Format

The Jannis Almond Vanilla Greek Delight and Pistachio Vanilla Greek Delight are boxed loukoumi — the Greek tradition of gel-based confections dusted with powdered sugar, analogous to Turkish Delight but specifically Greek production. The almond and pistachio versions carry distinct nut profiles, and the vanilla component gives them a more accessible flavor note for customers who haven’t tried loukoumi before. Both boxed formats are appropriate for gift retail and specialty food stores — the box packaging communicates authenticity and gift-readiness without additional wrapping. Greek expat communities and customers with Mediterranean food backgrounds are the core buyer, but the pistachio version especially has crossover appeal given the current visibility of pistachio-flavored confectionery across North American specialty food retail and the broader cultural interest in Mediterranean ingredients.

Coconut Sticks — Two Formats

The Jannis Coconut Sticks (12-count) and Choco Coconut Sticks (12-count) round out the catalog. Plain coconut sticks are a traditional Greek candy format — mildly sweet, coconut-forward, clean-ingredient. The chocolate-coated version adds a cocoa coating for buyers who want both options alongside each other in a display. These travel well in pick-mix displays and impulse retail settings, and the 12-count structure makes them easy to merchandise as a set or break down for individual sale at a deli counter.

How Buyers Stock the Jannis Range

Greek and Mediterranean specialty stores are the anchor buyer — Jannis is one of the few Greek candy brands available at wholesale in North America, which means stocking it gives these retailers access to an authentic product their customer base actively seeks. Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food stores often carry Greek Delight alongside Turkish and Arab confectionery traditions, where loukoumi fits naturally in a broader Middle Eastern sweets section. Health food retailers and natural food co-ops appreciate the organic sesame bar and the straightforward ingredient profile — sesame, honey, and minimal additives, without artificial colors or flavors.

Gift-basket programs targeting Mediterranean food themes or international sweets collections use the boxed loukoumi and nut crunch bars for their visual and cultural distinctiveness. Specialty candy shops that want to represent a broader geographic range of confectionery traditions use Jannis to cover the Greek category that’s underrepresented in most wholesale candy catalogs. For buyers building a ‘world candy’ or ‘global confectionery’ retail section, Jannis is the authentic Greek entry that can’t be approximated with a domestic product.

Storage and Shelf Life

Sesame-based confections like the Jannis crunch bars and loukoumi store well at cool room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. The sesame oil content in crunch bars can cause slight softening in high-heat environments — keep cases in a dry, temperature-stable space. The boxed loukoumi formats are protected by packaging and travel well in gift contexts without refrigeration. FIFO rotation applies for all display formats, with the Sesame and Honey Soft Bar benefiting most from freshness management given its softer texture baseline.

Seasonal and Event-Driven Opportunities

Greek Independence Day (March 25) and Greek Easter create concentrated demand from Greek-American communities for authentic Greek food products including confectionery. Stocking the Jannis range ahead of these dates can generate strong seasonal velocity in communities with active Greek cultural organizations and specialty food shopping. The boxed loukoumi formats sell particularly well around Greek Easter in Greek and Orthodox Christian retail contexts. The organic sesame bar moves steadily through health-food channels year-round. The Mini Sesame Crunch Bars and Mini Almond Crunch Bars work as year-round impulse items in natural food and specialty candy retail settings where customers browse for compact, shelf-stable snacks with clean ingredient profiles and authentic Mediterranean origin.

Cross-Sell Opportunities

Jannis pairs naturally with other Mediterranean and Middle Eastern confectionery imports in a wholesale order. Buyers building a Mediterranean specialty food section often combine Greek, Turkish, and Levantine confectionery items in a single regional display, where Jannis loukoumi and sesame bars fit naturally alongside other sesame-based sweets and nut confections. The organic sesame bar cross-sells alongside other organic and natural food specialty items. For buyers who also carry Israeli halva, the sesame flavor profile is familiar enough to attract the same customer base, making Jannis a natural companion SKU in a Mediterranean specialty section. The nut crunch bar formats also work alongside European nut brittle and torrone formats in a broader nut confectionery display.
