(NASDAQ:JJSF) announced today that it has acquired the WHOLE FRUIT Sorbet and FRUIT-A-FREEZE Frozen Fruit Bar brands, along with related assets including a manufacturing facility located in Norwalk, CA, from a subsidiary of CoolBrands International, Inc.

The products will be sold through its food service and retail supermarket business segments. FRUIT-A-FREEZE is a super premium fruit bar featuring chunks of fruit. WHOLE FRUIT sorbet is sold mainly in pints and is known for its wholesome, healthy and upscale fruit flavors. Gerald B. Shreiber, J & J's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "These two premium brands add to our expanding portfolio of frozen novelty products. Our goal is to improve upon their recent performance in the retail supermarket segment as well as to expand their presence in the food service market. In addition, the manufacturing facility gives us a west coast plant for manufacturing frozen novelty products that is expandable in the future which would benefit logistics over the long term."
