The Foxtrot gummy mixes have made their debut from the convenience store retailer as a series of custom candy products perfect for satisfying customer cravings. The products were developed by the brand after a strenuous sampling procedure that saw hundreds of options considered before settling on eight custom mixes that each blend bold textures with nostalgic flavors. The mixes include such options as the Shroomies Mix, Gummies for Breakfast Mix, Spring Fling Mix, Swedish Sweeties Mix and the Summer/Lollipop Mix amongst others.
Senior Director of Merchandising Kristen Pospychala spoke on the new Foxtrot gummy mixes saying, "We wanted to create something totally new and exciting for our gummy-obsessed customers — an indulgent experience that will have your taste buds zooming. These new mixes are bursting with vibrant colors, playful textures, and a delicious balance of sweet and sour flavors. They're as fun to eat as they are crave-worthy. We spent months curating these mixes, sourcing standout sweets from Europe and the U.S. to bring something fresh to our shelves."
