Deli Market News wrote a feature on Wake-N-Bagel, and how we debuted our new packaging and Raisin-Cinnamon Flavor at the Winter Fancy Food Show in Las Vegas.

Check out excerpts from the article by Lilian Diep below and read the whole article HERE.

“Wake-N-Bagel’s thaw-and-bake frozen line is made from a family recipe with over 27 years of success in the retail and wholesale bakery Little Shop of Bagels in Ashland, Oregon. The women-owned company brings the experience of fresh, authentic bagels into home kitchens.”

“Our new packaging went over great. With its smaller footprint on freezer shelves and the same contents inside, it’s a win-win for customers and retailers,” Angelina tells Deli Market News. “Our new Raisin-Cinnamon flavor received a lot of positive feedback from those who sampled them. Many people told us things like, ‘Great packaging,’ ‘Great chew,’ and ‘Love the name.’”

As noted in the release, the newly revamped retailer-friendly packaging is shorter to enable more options for placement on freezer shelves. Wake-N-Bagel products are found in the frozen section of retailers such as Whole Foods, Metropolitan Markets, and Market of Choice stores in Oregon and Washington. They can also be found as far away as Hong Kong, in City Super stores.”

We attended the first in-person food trade show in 2 years and it was great to see people in person again!

NOSH included our Wake-N-Bagels in their write-up of new products at the show.

We have introduced a NEW Flavor, Raisin Cinnamon and new packaging!

“With over 1,000 brands exhibiting at this year’s Winter Fancy Foods show, there was a wide range of new products on display from plant-based protein alternatives to better-for-you indulgent treats. As we reported earlier this week, many exhibitors were eager to discuss the unique and often environmentally-conscious supply networks that helped create these new innovations. Check out the roundup below for a selection of notable new products spotted during this year’s show.”

“Thaw-and-bake bagel line Wake-N-Bagel launched its third flavor, Raisin-Cinnamon, alongside upgraded “retailer-friendly” packaging at this year’s Fancy Food show. The new flavor joins a lineup of Plain, Onion, and Hiker-Everything in the frozen section of retailers such as Whole Foods, Metropolitan Markets and Market of Choice stores across Oregon and Washington. According to the company, the new pack enables more options for placement in the frozen aisle.”
