Discover the Calico Fudge Retail Programme

Your own unique artisan fudge made just for your retail business

Whilst Calico is not a name you will ever see at retail, if you have seen fudge in a store, there is a huge chance it is made with Calico's mixes and support.

Fudge has been a tradition in tourist attractions, craft fairs, Christmas markets and seaside shops for decades.

Fudgemakers come and go but over the last 36 years Calico Cottage has been behind the scenes supplying and supporting retailers all over Europe to enable them to make their own unique range of fudges selling at 5 times cost in their own store. From huge theme parks to Christmas Fairs, Calico continues to help retailers profit from fudge making the most of their existing staff and space.

Make exceptional profits from Calico's Fudge Programme!

We've been providing a hugely profitable in-store fudgemaking programme for over 50 years worldwide and 30 years in Europe. We call it a programme because it is a complete retail solution that allows our customers to generate exceptional profits from a small space and existing staff.

Nothing else in the gift or confectionery market makes comparable profits per square metre. Also, in the right location, it's important to mention that these are additional sales, they don't take away from other sales and they don't require extra staff.

Aside from the profitability, fudge made with our programme enables you to stand out from your competitors, use local ingredients and make an offer that is unique to your store.

Fudge Programme

Turn footfall into profit with your own unique fudge!

Fudge can sell at 4 to 5 times cost, making it one of the most profitable products you can add to your store. Take a look at the space by your till and ask how much money it makes. Very few products can beat a fudge offer!

Whether you run a farm shop, visitor attraction, garden centre, Christmas market, seaside store, zoo, theme park or gift shop, our programme is designed to help you turn existing space and footfall into a fresh experience for your visitors and a profit for you.
