A plane filled with 100 tons of cherries–about half of them bound for Oppy customers–winged its way from Neuquen, Argentina directly to Miami last weekend for the first time ever. This historic flight enabled the fruit to move directly into the market, without being trucked for eight hours to Buenos Aires and flying from there. Sweet!
The holidays are the one time of the year where consumers don't think twice about splurging on fresh, beautiful food. Cherries, with their glossy ruby red shine and sweet, luscious taste certainly are high on the list for impulse purchases. Wow your shoppers with a well-positioned display of merry cherries. Pouch bags and POS available.
Oppy cherries will be plentiful for holiday promotions!
VANCOUVER, BC ― Cherries have made the Oppenheimer Group’s list of top items to promote over the upcoming holiday season, joining the traditional favorites Ocean Spray fresh cranberries and Japanese mandarins. With their festive red color and resemblance to holiday ornaments, winter cherries just might become a new tradition for many.
Cherries are a sweet treat, now arriving from Argentina. Now available in random weight PLU, stand-up pouch bags that feature Oppy branding on one side, and the beloved Cookie Monster on the other. This new high-graphic pack is sure to draw the attention of shoppers, regardless of age. Get them while quantities last.
Bags hold approximately 1.25 lb. of fruit.
Typically a promotional favorite in July, we’re surprising shoppers with a taste of these super sweet summer favorites even though November is here. Freshly harvested and flown in from Chile, our Rainiers will bring a cheer.
Sweet! Our first cherries of the Chilean season arrived about two weeks earlier than last year, thanks to excellent growing conditions. Our grower partner Copefrut flew these into Miami just in time to delight your shoppers with a little taste of summer as the cool autumn days begin. Enjoy!
Bountiful blooms mean beautiful cherries are on their way! They are growing strong at LQ Fruit in Sagrada Familia, Oppy's southern-most Chilean stone fruit grower partner.
It’s been a great season at Orchard View Farms! We packed our very last box of the year yesterday. We’ll ship a little longer, so don’t miss out on the final days of this sweet deal. Thank you!
"I just want to thank you for your cherries," writes Susan, who left The Dalles, Oregon — the hometown she shares with Orchard View Farms — to serve in the U.S. military in the 1970s. "When I was stationed in Korea, my grandma sent me some. I now live in Hawaii and can get your cherries in the commissary and at Sam's club. I always look for cherries from home, and yours taste best."
Thank you for writing and for serving, Susan!
