Stock Guru Profile – News – Blogs
Tootie Pie Co. is placing their pies with H.E.B.
H.E.B. is a huge player with more than 300 stores throughout Texas and northern Mexico and estimated sales of $12.4 billion last year, H.E.B. was 11th on Forbes magazine’s “America’s Largest Private Companies” ranking.
Because of its heritage in Texas, H.E. Butt has become the retailer of choice among shoppers in Texas.
The loyalty the chain has built up over its years as the hometown grocer has helped it become the dominant chain there. With 52 stores in and around San Antonio, H.E.B. has a 63% market share.
In addition, it is a major force in the supermarket trade class in the Austin area, where it operates about 40 stores and controls about half of the grocery business.
Through the years innovation has been a mark of the chain’s evolution, and it is reflected today in its array of retail formats and creative marketing. It operates supermarkets and food/ drug combination stores under several banners, including Central Market, H.E.B. Marketplace, H.E.B. Plus, H.E.B. Pantry Foods, H.E. Butt and Mi Tienda, a Latino-themed store.
Right now the real and visible story is HEB, Central Market, Neiman Marcus and Rice Epicurean for whole pie sales
Neiman Marcus’ Christmas Catalog represents quality … and from there TOOT has taken on two premium grocers.
There is absolutely no question but TOOT has reached the iconic brand stage.
- HEB Central Market Placements
- Inclusion as a premium product in Neiman Marcus Catalog
- Sales in Upscale Houston Grocer
- The pie of choice to be delivered with Fox’s Movie The Waitress
TOOT sold in excess of 4,700 pies for the month of October, 2007. This is approximately a 180% increase over the 1,700 plus pies sold in October of 2006. These improved results were driven by a high number of repeat sales to existing customers, as well as continued growth of new customers in our current wholesale market area of ten states and 12 distribution centers (versus 4 this time last year). We are also beginning to see impressive results stemming from our recent emphasis on sales to multi-unit chains (10-20 locations).
CEO Don Merrill notes TOOT continues to experience dramatic growth across all sales channels.
Multi-unit chains are bearing fruit on the wholesale front.
Corporate and retail sales channels are expanding.
The Neiman Marcus Fall 2007 Catalog inclusion enables Tootie Pie to gain a strong foothold in the premium marketplace.
