Corsicana, Texas-based Collin Street Bakery has been recognized by H-E-B as a “Million Dollar Seller” in the retailer’s grocery stores.
In 2018, Collin Street entered its fruitcake in H-E-B’s “Quest for Texas Best” competition. Out of nearly 1,000 vendor entries, Collin Street Bakery was named a top 25 finalist and was awarded space in over 200 HEB stores.
Out of more than 5,000 H-E-B “Quest” participants in the past eight years, just a small portion earn a spot on H-E-B’s shelves, and only 38 have surpassed $1,000,000 in sales. By the end of 2022, the company is poised to double that achievement, currently sitting at $1.8 million in sales through the retailer’s 420 stores in the southern U.S. and Mexico.
Both Collin Street and H-E-B are more than 100-year-old family-owned businesses brands.
Collin Street Bakery is set to bake and ship about 2 million pounds of fruitcake across the U.S. and to 190 foreign countries this year. The company has been featured on nationally televised programs and in several other publications.
