Halal sweets

Post by Style »

Ive always had a couple of sites that sell mainly skittles because they dont contain gelatine and are Halal. Ive lost a couple of sites over the years because my sweets arent Halal. But they have never been great sites so it never really bothered me.

Last year I picked up a really good chippy/chicken place that for 10 months was doing £70 a month then the owner told me he was getting complaints because he was a Halal chippy and could i take everything out with gelatine. Sales halved.

Liam at Hurleys has now supplied me 3 lines of Halal sweets.

Fizzy mix
Bubble gum bottles
Juicy Berries

Look great. Going to use them to help with some site finding. May open a few new doors.

I've got a few places where I think at least having a few halal lines would be a good idea so would like to hear how your sales go. Do the product stickers say they are halal?

No,the stickers dont say Halal. I guess they could if you wanted them to. I thought about it and decided not to go down that route as it would put as many people off as it attracted. I figured the sites where I need them I can tell them and the important people will know.

Best way around the halal issue in food retail outlets is to replace the sweet tower with a toy one. Towers with the new plastic one piece barrels can hold about 120 toy capsules. Convert those spare towers to toys!

Wouldnt help in either of the sites Ive talked about. Ones a chippy that I also have a toy machine in the other is a barbers where Im pretty sure its the Muslim staff that eat the sweets.

Anyway sales are good in both of these sites since Ive added the Halal stuff.
