Organizations interested in hosting the PEEPSTER can view the tour schedule to request a potential visit when the Volkswagen chick rolls into your city.

Just Born Inc., maker of PEEPS Brand candies, is sending its PEEPSTER Volkswagen “chick” on a tour of the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest to celebrate its NEW peepsandcompany.com online store and to connect directly with loyal fans and new fans in select markets.

While on its journey to promote peepsandcompany.com, the PEEPSTER will distribute free candy and prizes to all their fans.  In addition, the PEEPSTER will provide one-of-a-kind photo opportunities and live Facebook updates.

Peepsandcompany.com  features candy and merchandise from the company’s signature candy brands: PEEPS, MIKE and IKE, HOT TAMALES and PEANUT CHEWS.  The PEEPS and COMPANY online store brings excitement and an immersed consumer brand experience similar to that of its physical flagship store in National Harbor, Md.  The online store offers a wide selection of branded merchandise, which includes candy, apparel, toys, drink ware and more.  There are products and special offers available only online.

“The tour will utilize social media to allow fans to follow our progress on the road using an interactive map, see videos and pictures, read our journal, and even request the car to stop in their town,” said Paul Gustafson, chief engineer of the PEEPS tour. This will all be embedded in Facebook and through a special domain – sweetnesstour.com that will launch Monday.  The tour will reflect how our peepsandcompany.com store marries tradition and current trends to create the best experience for our fans.”
