Best of the Best Multi Vendor Endcap (BOB RACK)
Control your valuable end cap space and earn more real profits with GSC’s Warehouse Delivered Snack Program. The Best of the Best program offers only the top selling items in eight different GSC snack categories. The multi-vendor concept ensures that only the best selling product from various vendors is available to the consumer. An estimated 18 to 20 turns per year will drastically reduce stale or out-of-date products at store level. Gross profit margins should exceed typical DSD margins by 14 to 18 points. The rack only requires nine square feet of prime floor space. Average gross profit earned per square foot per year is estimated at $796 to $948! That is an annual gross profit yield of $7,164 to $8,532 per year. Each rack placed will qualify for a $100 placement allowance the first year, and a $200 placement allowance the second year. A one year agreement must be signed by the retailer stating that: The rack will be placed at one of the front end caps of the store; the rack will remain on the end cap for a period of not less than one year; the rack will remain stocked per the GSC plan-o-gram; all product on the rack will be purchased from GSC. GSC personnel will check for compliance with the plan-o-gram. The product selection will be updated annually. Over 1,000 GSC customers are offering only the Best of the Best to their customers, and nationally, approximately 20,000 retailers serviced by over 50 different wholesalers have also made the decision to take control of their valuable end cap space.

NEW! GSC 2007 MINI BOB Multi Vendor End Cap (MVE)
The Mini B.O.B. MVE is a smaller 3’ end cap rack without the deep side racks. This MVE will allow you to maintain the top sellers in the program with a plan-o-gram as well as receive the same amount of placement allowance as the standard size B.O.B. MVE.

Parrot Ice
Parrot-Ice is a premium frozen fruit beverage program with several flavors and cups available through GSC. Parrot-Ice has a purchase or lease purchase program. Gross profit estimates are $125.92 x 5 cases per month x 12 months = $7,555.20 annual.

Parrot-Ice, say it quickly and it sounds like Paradise. It immediately evokes images of a divine destination featuring lush tropics, and yes, exotic frozen fruit beverages. That’s exactly what Parrot-Ice had in mind when we created the “Escape to Paradise” Caribbean cabana display. The cabana is made of rugged construction with 3” bamboo poles and an authentic vacuum formed roof. The cabana is 58”h x 58”w x 28”d and comes with: illuminated gecko sign, palm tree on the beach, tropical background photograph, drink on the beach cup rack façade, “Escape to Paradise” counter sign, Parrot-Ice neon sign, and “Escape to Paradise” neon banner sign.

Alligator Ice
It’s time you take a close look at Alligator Ice, the affordable, high-margin frozen drink offering that is doubling and even tripling frozen sales for its customers. Alligator Ice product appeals to all categories of convenience store customers. Because our suggested retail price for a 12-ounce drink is just 99 cents and because it’s smooth, creamy (without using cream), and really delicious, your frozen volume will go wild from all those repeat sales. You’ll realize a 50 to 60% profit which is among the highest margins in the frozen category. GSC stocks over 20 flavors of Alligator Ice products as well as logo cups, POS material, lighted logo sign, and window/door/outside pole signage.

Another benefit we offer lies with our recommended equipment. Cecilware by Ugolini has no real seal. Its magnetic drive aids you by not having to clean and lubricate the equiment daily - and we all know that daily cleaning in a c-store doesn’t usually happen despite our best intentions. Alligator Ice also recommends the Bunn Ultra 2, which does not require lubrication and is electronically controlled.

Jelly Belly Jelly Beans
Want to try something new in your store(s)? GSC offers the Jelly Belly Jelly Bean product. Jelly Belly Jelly Beans are a great way to add a new line of product and possibly new customers to your store(s). Just order from the GSC order book and try them out in your store(s). Read below about the journey of the Jelly Belly Jelly Bean.

The Journey
Back in 1976, a Los Angeles candy distributor had an idea for a jelly bean made with natural flavorings. So he called up the candy makers at Jelly Belly (formerly known as Herman Goelitz Candy Co.) who had a reputation for making the very best candies. Creating "true-to-life" flavors was, well, a natural evolution. The candy makers cooked up a recipe for a new kind of jelly bean -- intensely flavored throughout, with natural ingredients for flavoring whenever possible. In 1976, the first eight Jelly Belly flavors were born: Very Cherry, Lemon, Cream Soda, Tangerine, Green Apple, Root Beer, Grape, and Licorice. Funny enough they are still some of the most popular flavors made.
The rise to the top, or, what a long, tasty trip it's "bean." A furor arose when people tasted Jelly Belly beans for the first time. Wow, what flavor! Soon Jelly Belly became the favorite candy of President Ronald Reagan, who made the beans a staple in the Oval Office and on Air Force One. (President Reagan's passion for jelly beans inspired Blueberry flavor, which was cooked up so he could serve red, white, and blue beans at his inaugural parties.) Diplomats and world leaders clamored to have Jelly Belly beans. And guess what? Jelly Belly was also the first jelly bean in outer space. Free floating, weightless Jelly Belly beans were sent on the space shuttle Challenger in 1983 as a presidential surprise for the astronauts. Coincidentally, it was the same mission that boasted another bit of history -- the first American female astronaut, Sally Ride.

Today, Jelly Belly is the world's #1 gourmet jelly bean, the bean of choice for all those with the most discerning taste, and made in 50 amazing and tasty flavors. Check out the menu to see all the flavors.
