April 25, 2007 – Pennsauken, NJ., J&J Snack Foods Corp. has acquired the DOGSTERS® Frozen Dog Treat’s brand from CoolBrands International. J&J Snack Foods is the maker of LUIGI’S® Real Italian Ice, the # 1 selling Italian Ice in the world and Minute Maid® Juice Bars and SOFT FROZEN LEMONADE. This acquisition comes on the heels of the Whole Fruit® and Fruit-a-Freeze® brand acquisitions that J&J Snack Foods made from CoolBrands earlier this month.
 
 “With this unique canine-friendly brand, J&J Snack Foods will be a dog’s best friend! Seriously, though it fits our ever expanding portfolio of frozen novelty products and pushes us into new channels of distribution,” commented Gerry Shreiber, JJSF President and CEO. “Pet treats, is one of the fastest growing market segments, with over $14.5 billion dollars in annual sales. Pet snacks alone posted $2 billion plus in retail sales consecutively over the last few years,” he added.
