Prince Edward Island food processors are getting a sales boost this holiday season thanks to the new Superstore in Summerside. The Atlantic Superstore in Summerside is selling PEI Product Gift Baskets throughout the Holiday Season.
Consumers can choose from one of three baskets which include products from the following Island companies: Waddell's, Jasper Wymans and Sons, Seaman's, Raspberry Cordial Bottling Company, PEI Speciality Chip Company, Humpty Dumpty, PEI Coffee Company, PEI Maple Syrup Company, Royal Star Foods, Acadian Fishermen's Co-op, Polar Foods, PEI Spice Merchants, Neen's Preserves and Gail's Country Pantry.
The project is being coordinated through the PEI Food and Beverage Processors Association and PEI Business Development. Minister of Development and Technology, Mike Currie, thanked the Atlantic Superstore for its commitment to the project and hopes Islanders will support the promotion.
"We are very pleased that a large retailer like the Superstore has seen the importance of supporting Island food processors and the value of these high quality products," said Minister Currie. "The promotion is a great way to highlight our many talented food companies on PEI."
Larry Williams, Store Manager of the Atlantic Superstore, is thrilled with this year's promotion. "As a corporate citizen of PEI, we see the need to support Island companies," Williams said. "There is a tremendous selection of PEI products available, and we hope this promotion will increase consumers' awareness of that selection."
As the lead government economic development agency for the Province, Prince Edward Island Business Development works to support Island-based companies in marketing their products. The Provincial Government is proud of the high quality products and services produced in our province, and Prince Edward Island Business Development is committed to promoting these products in PEI.
The PEI Food Product Gift Baskets are now on sale at the Atlantic Superstore in Summerside.
