Matt Collins, trading director at KP Snacks, said: “At KP Snacks, we are always looking to add variety and value to our range and we are excited to be combining Wheat Crunchies, a popular Everyday Value brand that creates a sense of nostalgia in shoppers, with the strong £1.25 PMP format.”
4. Le Petit Chocolat PMP
FRENCH biscuit brand LU has unveiled its new PMP for Le Petit Chocolat biscuits.
The new packs are priced at £1.69 and aim to drive up more incremental spend for the adult sweet biscuit category, according to Mondelez International, while also bringing more consumers to the LU brand in the process.
The firm also noted that this is likely to prove a popular addition to the LU line-up, which was found to be the number one launch in the adult sweet biscuits category for 2022.
