The Objective

Mooney Farms owner Mary Mooney wanted to expand distribution of the brand’s Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes in Walmart.

The Solution:

Fact-based analysis uncovered the advantages of offering Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes and expanding assortment in this growing segment. Walmart sales of the Bella Sun Luci 8.5-ounce jar and 3-ounce pouch items were leading the chain’s sales of sun-dried tomato products. Using this strength, Circana and Mooney Farms looked to expand distribution and introduce line extensions.

The Results:

Mooney Farms was able to expand its total TPDs and take advantage of the renaissance and growth of American-produced sun-dried tomatoes.

The success was backed by meaningful data, allowing Mooney Farms to create powerful presentations proving to buyers it is the best at what it does. The numbers speak for themselves, showcasing Mooney Farms’ capabilities and the impact of its products in the market. Mooney Farms was incredibly grateful for the support of Circana and Schnucks, whose sponsorship has helped it continue to grow and validate its excellence and the value its brand offers.

Mooney Farms successfully expanded its Bella Sun Luci product distribution at Walmart by leveraging Circana’s data-driven insights and strategic support.
