Wawel and the Cinema City chain have entered into an international concession agreement for the sale of loose products. The sweets are now available in the “Freedom of Choice” modular displays specially tailored to the needs of cinema kiosks in all Cinema City locations in Poland. From September, Polish products will also be available in cinemas in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. Cinema operations in the entire CEE region are coordinated by the marketing department of Wawel and New Age Media.

The international concession agreement for the sale of Wawel sweets in Cinema City’s cinema kiosks is the first stage of long-term cooperation. The next stages plan for the expansion of the portfolio of products offered and conducting various promotional activities, designed especially for modern multiplexes. The first steps will be take place later this year.

The “Freedom of Choice” concept of the Wawel brand includes various types of sweets available in modern displays, with the possibility of making up a favourite mix by weight. In cinemas, the displays are at the cinema kiosks and customers can weigh their sweets at the checkout counters.
Key Wawel products will be supported by cinema campaigns with many attractions.

– The concession for the distribution of sweets in Cinema City cinema kiosks is an important international project for us. Cinema is one of the most popular forms of entertainment among our customers, so we decided to maintain a presence in Cinema City both in Poland and in other countries of the region, where our products also have fans. A presence in cinemas in as many as 6 countries will certainly provide the Wawel brand with even greater recognition, positive image effects and sales results.” – comments Tadeusz Czarniecki, Marketing Director at Wawel.
