  1. Our best-selling fall food item is Vermont Epicurean Maple Pumpkin Butter. We sample it in
    the store during the fall.

  2. Our fall best sellers are preserves and soups from Cherchies and Frontera. Also, Rao’s pasta
    sauces and other Italian things like pastas, sun-dried tomatoes and risottos pick up in the fall.

  3. I would have to say that our best seller is Pumpkin Spice Truffles from Godiva. We sample
    them in the fall and people look forward to them at that time of year.

  4. Our best selling fall item is White Chocolate Gourmet Popcorn from How Sweet It Is Handmade
    Confections. We sample it all through the year, but I think it sells best in the fall because then
    it comes in a tall 6-oz., slender red and purple box, which gives it a fall look.

  5. Our best-seller is Stonewall Kitchen Maple Pumpkin Butter, which we sample towards the fall.
    We have food samples out every day, and we sample about 12 different products.

  6. In the fall, anything with squash is a big seller — we offer several kinds of squash soup.
    Anything with a fall flavor, like pumpkin, sells well, too, and we highlight these products in
    our ads.

  7. With the cooler weather and the holidays just around the corner, our customers turn to us for the goodies that conjure up feelings of comfort and nostalgia. This time of year, our gourmet Rocky Rhode and Turtle Candy Bars, which are updated, more grown-up twists on childhood flavors, are big sellers.
