'It’s an exciting time for us': Northern Ireland artisan food producer secures supermarket boost with Dunnes and Tesco deals
Carol's Stock Market celebrates two major retail milestones as its award-winning natural stocks and bone broths expand into stores across Ireland
An artisan producer of natural, slow cooked stocks and bone broths in Londonderry is celebrating two major milestones for an innovation-led and highly successful food business.
Carol’s Stock Market, which was founded around 2017 by Carol Banahan, a former professional stock trader in Canada, has won business from Dunnes and Tesco Northern Ireland, two of Ireland’s leading supermarkets.
Carol, a passionate home cook, set up the small business in Londonderry on her return to Ireland from a hugely successful career in Canadian high finance.
She formed Carol’s Stock Market in Londonderry to build on her love of cooking great food into a small enterprise which has revived interest in healthy stocks and bone broths. These include: Free Range Chicken Stock; Beef Stock; Beef Bone Broth; and Cottage Bone Broth for home cooks to add further nutritious ingredients to meals.
Bone broth is regarded as being highly nutritious, providing benefits from collagen, calcium and magnesium to a range of vitamins.
Carol continues: “It’s an exciting time for us and we’ve some great news to share that will enable more consumers to enjoy our natural products.
“At Carol’s Stock Market, we’re passionate about great food and bringing a taste of Ireland to every dish in kitchens across Ireland,” adds Carol. We’re delighted to announce two major milestones in our business involving Dunnes and Tesco Northern Ireland.
Carol’s Cottage Bone Broth, Beef Stock and Free Range Chicken Stock will once again be available nationwide under the Dunnes Stores ‘Simply Better’ range, starting this month.
Alongside this, Dunnes Stores will continue to stock Carol’s Stock Market products, including: Beef Bone Broth; Vegetable Stock; and Chicken Bone Broth with Turmeric & Ginger
Carol’s hugely innovative products will be on Tesco shelves in 29 stores towards the end of September
“We’re incredibly proud to see our products reaching even more customers and making it easier than ever to enjoy our range,” adds Carol “So wherever consumers shop, you’ll have even more opportunities to enjoy Carol’s Stock Market products,” she says.
