MIDLOTHIAN, VA -- "Miss Bonnie's Gourmet," TA Miss Bonnie's Distributing, is a startup home based company located in Midlothian, Virginia. The company produces and distributes "Miss Bonnie's" Gourmet Cheese Spreads. Miss Bonnie's is currently sold exclusively in Kroger food stores.
Kroger corporate in Cincinnati contacted the company this past March. "The sales numbers Miss Bonnie's is generating in our Kroger stores in Richmond simply don't exist in this business." "I've never seen sales numbers like these before," said Rod Taylor, deli-bakery merchandising Kroger corporate in Cincinnati.
The company was also informed by Kroger that "Miss Bonnie's" was outselling the top selling national brand gourmet cheese spreads by a margin of 3 to 1. Kroger has expressed an interest in partnering with the company to take their products to national distribution.
"Miss Bonnie's" was introduced to the consumer on November 22, 2006 in only one Midlothian, Virginia Kroger store. Now in 18 stores, and with a focus on quality ingredients, the company markets their gourmet cheese spreads hosting in-store product demonstrations (tastings). "Most of our advertising has been word of mouth." "Kroger customers tell me all the time they heard about my cheese from a friend or had it at a party," said Bonnie Adleman, President of Miss Bonnie's Distributing.
Miss Bonnie's Gourmet has just recently published their first web site (www.missbonnies.com). The new web site posts recipes and serving tips, as well as The Miss Bonnie's Story. "The grocery consumer has embraced and connected with Bonnie and her story in a personal way." "We wanted the web site to reflect Bonnie's warm magnetic personality," said Ron Adleman VP marketing and sales.
"We don't have any other single specialty product in this store that does the unit sales numbers "Miss Bonnie's does." "In over forty years in the grocery business, I've never seen anything like it," said Ed Southern, manager of the Ivy Mont Midlothian, VA Kroger. "Bonnie Adleman, and her story is an inspiration for anyone with a recipe, invention, or product idea that will appeal to the masses." "Bonnie's passion, and persistence, are proof positive that anyone's American Dream can come true," added Southern.
