“Rustlers has evolved and has attracted lots of new consumers, so much so that 40% of Rustlers consumers are female and the age profile of Rustlers’ consumers now stretches from 16 to 34-year-olds.
A sustained NPD programme sees the introduction of two panini products to the Rustlers range along with a limited edition, £1 PMP ‘Hot and Kicking’ range.
