Inventure Foods Expands Its Licensed TGI Fridays™ Snack Line Into Growing Pub Mix Category

New "Happy Hour" Mixes Feature On-Trend Salty/Sweet and Spicy Combinations 
Like Cheddar Bacon, Sriracha Ranch and Sweet Barbeque

PHOENIX, June 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The TGI Fridays™ snack line, known
for its bold, restaurant-inspired creations, expands this summer with the
 introduction  of a new line of snacks featuring nuts, pretzels, crackers and
seeds in the tradition of happy hour pub mixes. The new TGI Fridays
Happy Hour Snack Mixes include four flavors available in 2.65-ounce
and 6-ounce pouches. They appear in select grocery and convenience
 stores nationwide beginning this month with a suggested
 retail price of $2.99 and $4.99, respectively.

TGI Fridays Happy Hour Snack Mixes represent a shift into an entirely new category
for the successful licensing partnership between Inventure Foods and TGI Fridays;
a partnership that has thrived since the   introduction of TGI Fridays Potato Skins
snack chip line 15 years ago. The snack mixes arrive just as consumer demand for
 salty snacks is at an all-time high (Mintel, US Salty Snacks Report, Jan. '15).
Consumer interest in pub mixes, in particular, is reflected in a 60 percent growth
 in category introductions during the past five years (FONA International).
"We've demonstrated remarkable consistency in our ability to develop successful
 new products under the TGI Fridays banner, and we've often pushed the envelope
of bold flavors in the process," said Steve Sklar, senior vice president and general
 manager for Inventure Foods, Inc. "These mixes are no exception—in fact, we
believe they perfectly hit the intersection of salty, sweet and spicy."
The Cheddar Bacon flavor features a savory combination of cheese crackers,
pretzels, pumpkin seeds and Cajun corn sticks. The Sriracha blend adds smoked
almonds, sesame sticks and peanuts to the mix and covers it in mouth-watering
siracha ranch seasoning. Sweet Barbeque takes the same irresistible recipe and
coats it in a tangy yet sweet barbeque flavor. Finally, Sweet and Spicy Snack Mix
adds butter toffee peanuts, wasabi peas, pecans, cashews, rice crackers and honey
mustard pretzels to the blend to provide the best of sweet and savory flavors in
each delicious bite.
Since the brand crossed over to the snack chip aisle in 2000, the TGI Fridays snack
 line has become a consumer favorite in grocery, vending and convenience channels,
 providing premium snack options that parallel the exciting flavor combinations on
 Fridays' menus. In addition to Potato Skins, snack line staples include
Cheddar Cheese Jalapeno Poppers, Onion Rings and Mozzarella Sticks.
