Bulk Pretzel and Cinnamon Crumble Win 2026 Best New Products Awards

Convenience Store News just announced the 41 winners of its 30th annual Best New Products Awards, and two of them are ours. The Bulk Pretzel won Foodservice: Snacks. The Cinnamon Crumble Coffee House Pound Cake won Packaged Sweet Snacks: Snack Cakes.

The awards cover products launched into the convenience channel between June 1, 2025 and June 1, 2026, entered by suppliers, distributors, and retailers. What makes this one different is who does the judging. A panel of consumers scored every entry on value, convenience, appearance and packaging, plus taste and ingredients for food items.

Both products have already been recognized this year. The Bulk Pretzel took home a 2026 CStore Decisions Hot New Products Award, and Cinnamon Crumble was a runner up in the same program. Those were chosen by retailers and editors. This one came from shoppers.

Retailers and editors already picked them. This time, the people who buy them did too.

Winner · Foodservice: Snacks

Bulk Pretzel

Big, golden, and baked with real butter, with an old world bakery look that stops people at the warmer. It arrives fully baked and frozen, so stores just thaw, heat, and serve.

The real reason it keeps winning is range. Salt it and serve it with cheese sauce, load it up as a pizza pretzel, or roll it in cinnamon sugar for dessert. One case, sweet or savory, every daypart.

Winner · Packaged Sweet Snacks: Snack Cakes

Cinnamon Crumble
Coffee House Pound Cake

Our newest Coffee House Pound Cake flavor: a warm cinnamon swirl baked into a rich, buttery pound cake, finished with brown sugar crumble and vanilla icing. Made with farm-fresh eggs and a fine, delicate crumb.

It is Individually Wrapped at 4 oz, ready to thaw, display, and sell, and it holds 45 days once thawed. Put it next to the coffee and it does the rest.
