LGS Specialty Sales Launches New Tiny Tim’s Mini Avocados Bag
October 16, 2018 | 2 min to read
New Rochelle, N.Y. – LGS Specialty Sales (LGS), leading importer and distributor of citrus, grapes, and avocados, is thrilled to announce that its beloved Tiny Tim’s mini avocados are now available in a more economical bag. Tiny Tim’s launched last year with incredible consumer response, and after receiving valuable retailer feedback, the company is now utilizing a more cost-effective packaging solution.
“Since its launch last fall, we have taken great care in developing the Tiny Tim’s avocado brand and positioning it as the ideal single-serve snack for the health and convenience-focused shopper,” said Stephen Fink, avocado category manager at LGS. “While the product has been extremely well received, we heard concerns from retailers over the carton and felt it was important to make sure that we provide the best price point, without sacrificing quality, which resulted in this new packaging option.”
Flavor-packed and sized for snacking, Tiny Tim’s mini avocados are grown in the nutrient-rich soil of Mexico and originate from the Suavo Avocado family. They have the same creamy flavor as the larger hass avocados, but in smaller more individualized portions, ideal for taking on-the-go and reducing food waste. As a result of this new packing, retailers can now buy Tiny Tim’s at a lower price point and offer their shoppers expanded options with either a 6-count or 2 lb. bag.
“We’re constantly striving to better support our customers, and ultimately shoppers, by providing superior products at approachable prices,” added Fink.
