CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- Lil' Drug Store Products Inc., a leading health and beauty care (HBC) product supplier to the convenience store channel, said that it has nearly tripled sales versus a year ago of its Lil' Drug line of products.
Lil' Drug Multi-Symptom Sinus was one of the top category performers, it said, summing up its 2012 as "a year of successes."
The company has expanded its lineup of popular brands, it said, including the recent additions of Crest Complete, Colgate Total, Germ-X and Emergen-C.
It has also forged strong partnerships with national brands such as Carmex lip balm and Ricola cough drops, and forged a new exclusive distribution partnership with Rayovac that establishes the popular battery brand in the c-store channel.
Lil' Drug also launched two new merchandising programs--EZ Bins and EZ OTC. EZ Bins is a new merchandising system for personal care items in travel sizes for on-the-go shoppers. EZ OTC is a collection of over-the-counter formulas available in mid-size packages designed specifically for c-store shoppers.
