Jannis Other Candy Wholesale & Bulk

Few import catalogs bother with Greek sweets, so ours is a small corner. You won’t find gummies or chocolate in it, and no hard candy. It’s sesame bars and nut brittle instead, with loukoumi and coconut sticks on the side. That’s twelve SKUs, sold as bars and bags or as boxes and bulk. Cases weigh between 0.66 and 1.23 lb. The whole run lives in the Jannis wholesale catalog.

Sesame and Nut Crunch: The Core Range

The Sesame Crunch Bar is what we’d call Jannis at its best, and you can get it at 70g or 40g. The Organic Sesame Crunch Bar Bio is 40g as well, which matters to natural food stores that filter on organic. Want less snap? The Sesame and Honey Soft Bar is 30g and gives way more easily. Then come two 150g bags, Mini Sesame Crunch Bars and Mini Almond Crunch Bars. A bulk bin suits them, or the register.

Hazelnut and mixed nut get their own bars. The Mini Hazelnut Crunch Bars and Mini Mixed Nut Crunch Bars sit somewhere between brittle and a bar. They’re crunchy and nutty and very Mediterranean. We’d put them beside the sesame bars in a Greek display, or near other European nut sweets in a specialty section.

Greek Delight (Loukoumi): Boxed Gift Format

Almond Vanilla and Pistachio Vanilla are the two boxed loukoumi. If you haven’t sold it before, it’s a gel candy dusted with powdered sugar, a Greek cousin of Turkish delight. Vanilla sits under both and each box adds its own nut, so nobody has to gamble on a strange new flavor. The boxes already look like gifts, so wrapping isn’t needed. Greek families would probably buy first, then people who cook Mediterranean. Pistachio might travel further, since pistachio sweets keep showing up in specialty shops across the US.

Coconut Sticks: Two Formats

Coconut sticks round things out. That’s the Jannis Coconut Sticks and the Choco Coconut Sticks, both 12-count. Plain ones are a traditional Greek candy, mildly sweet and coconut all the way. The Choco version has a cocoa coating, so you can set the two side by side. They do well in pick-mix displays and at the register. Twelve to a pack also means you can sell the set or break it up at a deli counter.

How Buyers Stock the Jannis Range

Greek and Mediterranean shops come first. Jannis is one of the few Greek candy brands you can buy at wholesale, so those stores get something their customers go looking for. A Middle Eastern food store could shelve the loukoumi near Turkish and Arab sweets and it wouldn’t look out of place. Natural food stores usually like the organic sesame bar. It has a short recipe of sesame and honey, and no artificial colors or flavors.

Gift baskets with a Mediterranean theme can use the boxed loukoumi and the nut crunch bars. They look different from the usual import candy. Specialty candy shops that want more than one corner of the world on their shelves get a Greek section out of Jannis. Greek candy is thin in most wholesale lists. For a world candy section, this is the real thing and a domestic product can’t copy it.

Storage and Shelf Life

Sesame sweets like a cool room out of the sun and damp. In heat the crunch bars soften a little, so we’d tuck them somewhere dry where the temperature stays put. Loukoumi in its box needs no fridge because the packaging looks after it. Use the oldest cases first, and watch the Sesame and Honey Soft Bar more closely since it starts out softer.

Seasonal and Event-Driven Opportunities

Greek Independence Day falls on March 25. Greek Easter brings the same pull, with Greek-American families hunting for food from home. If your area has active Greek cultural groups, we’d get Jannis in before either date. Boxed loukoumi seems to do best near Easter in Greek and Orthodox Christian shops. Natural food stores move the organic sesame bar steadily all year. The Mini Sesame and Mini Almond bags are small and shelf-stable with a short ingredient list, which is why people grab them on impulse in any month.

Cross-Sell Opportunities

Put Jannis in the same order as other Mediterranean and Middle Eastern sweets. Someone building a Mediterranean section could set Greek and Turkish beside Levantine pieces on one display, and the loukoumi and sesame bars sit well next to other sesame sweets. If you already stock Israeli halva, the sesame flavor will ring a bell with those same shoppers. The organic bar can go with other organic items. Nut crunch bars sit nicely by European brittle and torrone.

Ordering Jannis Wholesale

There’s no minimum order. A case weighs 0.66 lb to 1.23 lb, lighter than usual bulk candy because the units are small. You pay by card at checkout. Approved accounts get account pricing. We ship to US addresses.
