Introducing ANCHOR's Wholesale Frozen Fruit Sandwiches
ANCHOR Co., a company based in Kama City, Fukuoka, has announced the official start of wholesale distribution of their flagship product, the low-carbohydrate, high-freshness "Fruit Sand," under the brand name "FRUITS SAND THREE". Set to launch in November 2025, the company is taking a bold step into B2B operations for frozen fruit sandwiches, which had previously been available only as sweet sandwiches.
With a commitment to improving their cream and distribution techniques, ANCHOR has already secured partnerships with numerous stores in their launch month. As they transition to a full-scale shipping operation in December, they aim to expand their supply to restaurants, retail establishments, and e-commerce businesses nationwide.
The "FRUITS SAND THREE" is not only loved locally in Fukuoka but has also garnered significant attention on social media and among tourists, known for selling out by morning. This move to wholesale is a significant progression of their product, which has consistently been praised for its visual appeal and genuine taste.
Building on Existing B2B Success
ANCHOR has successfully established a B2B framework by already providing popular sweet sandwiches including "An Butter" and "Tiramisu" nationwide. Their experience in store management, freezing technology, and packaging design has laid a strong foundation for their latest venture.
Overcoming Challenges in Shipping Frozen Products
One of the key challenges in distributing frozen fruit sandwiches is maintaining the fruit's moisture and flavor while ensuring they taste great after thawing. To address this, ANCHOR has developed unique low-carbohydrate whipped cream and researched effective thawing methods. They now offer a frozen product that excels in appearance, taste, and texture—making it ready for nationwide shipping.
Product Lineup for Wholesale
The range of frozen fruit sandwiches includes:
- - Strawberry Sandwiches
- - Mixed Fruit (Strawberry, Kiwi, Pineapple)
- - Flower Mandarins
- - Chocolate Cream Strawberry
- - Seasonal items (Mandarins, Kiwi, Pineapple, etc.)
Check product lists for details.
Support System for Wholesalers
To ensure their wholesalers are set up for success, ANCHOR provides original promotional materials including POP displays and thawing manuals to accompany the sandwiches.
Collaboration on Store-Specific Items (upon consultation)
The whipped cream used in ANCHOR's sweets is a low-carb, safe option that appeals to those watching their diet. Using a natural sweetener called "Lakan"—a zero-calorie sugar alternative that delivers a sweetness comparable to regular sugar—guests can enjoy the fresh, light texture without guilt.
Introducing Additional Low-Carb Products
To complement their frozen sandwiches, ANCHOR also offers the low-carb "Pancake Cans" available in a variety of eight flavors. Using their proven methods for successful fruit sandwiches, these cans promise aesthetic appeal and delicious freshness.
Moreover, the "Cookie Cream Sandwiches," which topped 234,000 total online sales, feature a delightful fusion of crushed cocoa cookies and low-carb whipped cream, highlighting yet another facet of ANCHOR's culinary expertise.
They also provide various "Sweets Sandwiches" and "Whipped Only Sandwiches" that feature a lightweight, tasty low-carb whipped cream designed to enhance each ingredient's flavor. This diverse lineup includes everything from traditional cake to unique seasonal flavors that reflect the culinary arts.
For those with a penchant for whipped cream, the adorable "Kumap Bottle," which holds low-carb whipped cream made with the natural sweetener Lakan, is also available.
Besides their fruit sandwiches, the company offers delicious "Caneles" with a crispy outer-shell and moist interior available in several flavors, as well as large-sized macarons that blend almond flavors distinctively.
