Choosing Snack Cups for a Small Retailer
Start with the customers who stop at your counter. Do they want a familiar peanut crunch, a rich cashew snack or a sweet treat? Choose a small range and learn from what they pick.

Choose flavour, size and price point
- Compare the cup sizes with the snack choices your customers already buy.
- Try a few textures: crunchy nuts, chewy cranberries and sweet or sour treats.
- Choose an initial quantity you can watch and learn from.
- Ask us about business pricing, shelf life and delivery to your Cape Town shop.
Work out your markup
Markup percentage = (retail price - purchase price) / purchase price x 100.
Example only: buying at R10 and selling at R15 gives R5 gross profit and 50% markup. These are hypothetical prices; use your agreed purchase price and allow for delivery and overheads.
Let the favourites guide your next selection
Record what you stock, what sells and how long it takes. Keep the flavours customers reach for and try another cup alongside them.
Share your shop's suburb and stocking plans. We deliver throughout Cape Town and will discuss quantities and pricing with you.
