I work of one of the two supermarket chains, think Lakers/Celts, we pretty much run the table in terms of Supermarkets. I am a buyer for specialty stores as we've got stores in our portfolio that sell western goods and are bascially designed for rich ******. In terms of product range, you'd be surprised that we essentially have most things covered. For example we've got an american guy here that supplies us with CLIF BARS, MUSCLE MILK and WHEY ISOLATE.I'm looking into jobs and this sounds pretty interesting, who do you work for, what's your title and etc if you don't mind me asking?
Godiva chocolate, Nathan's Hot dogs, Sam Adams beer, Klondike (ice cream bars, choco taco and etc), Goya Malta, Boca burgers, Red Barron pizza, Ciao Bella froyo, Fridays frozen food, pizza rolls, simply lemonade, digiorno pizza, oscar Meyer, Chobani greek yogurt, Nutella( not American but too good to pass up), Tabasco sauce, planters nuts, peanut butter and co(flavored pb), koolaid,Gortons( fish sticks, shrimp and etc), Andy's hot fries, Little Debbie snacks, Clif bars, Muscle milk, American Choice bacon
I would say look into Trader Joes, that's where I do my shopping. Healthy and affordable but idk if they sell their products outside of their business. Try Wholefoods
My main objective here is to find out what people are eating in the US/CAN besides the convebtional stuff. I was back home in Van and spent a few hours in Whole Foods, but of course asking you guys for suggestions is always better.
As for a category I'm currently focusing on, I'm planning to bring JONES soda to HK, and I'm also looking at Boylan's and looking at websites like BEVNET.com for help, so really treat this as a thread to discuss food, I find myself at this job sometimes forgetting about the most BASIC stuff because I was trying to bring in too niche/hipster/expensive stuff. Best recent example is I've totally forgot about fruit loops and pop tarts.
