Sugar Bowl Bakery is a family-owned brand specializing in pastries and cookies, known for its commitment to quality and taste.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 6 stores.
