Legendary Chulos bakery joins Bonnie & Wild after brilliant summer residency
Famous in Glasgow, Edinburgh and all over Instagram for their legendary cookies, Chulo’s Stuffed Cookies have been a hit at Bonnie & Wild since they joined us for a 10-day pop-up back in February.
After a super-busy summer residency when thousands of guests flocked to their colourful stall, we’re delighted to announce that Chulo’s will officially become part of the Bonnie & Wild family and take on a long-term spot within our Scottish Marketplace.
“We were delighted to welcome them back into Scottish Marketplace for the summer and they’ve been every bit as popular, selling their cookies almost as fast as they can make them. As a result, we’ve been able to give them a home in the St James Quarter. It’s a fantastic success story for a young Scottish food business.”
“With their eye-catching branding, exciting product and good business sense, Chulo’s are a perfect addition to an already incredible line-up of kitchens, chefs and restaurateurs that offers a range of menus including pancakes, pizzas, burgers, Asian cuisine, fried chicken, fresh seafood, and traditional Scottish deli items. We’re very proud to be supporting Scottish food and drink businesses, and it means there’s something for everyone at Bonnie & Wild.”
“We’ve had to expand the team to cope with demand and our kitchen is practically running non-stop. People have got a real appetite for our stuffed cookies, while they’ve also been a major hit online as well. It’s been an incredible journey since we first started trading at farmer’s markets and food fairs only a few years ago.”
The Chulos pop-up was the latest in a programme of meet-the-makers, tastings, pop-ups and brand activations at Bonnie & Wild, which aims to showcase Scottish food and drink brands and provide a supportive platform within the busy St James Quarter for local producers.
As well as Chulo’s, Bonnie & Wild has hosted pop-ups with the likes of Wester Distillery, Botanist Gin, and Isle of Raasay and Isle of Skye distilleries. Gary Maclean, the National Chef of Scotland, hosted an oyster and champagne bar in collaboration with venerable fishmonger Bernard Corrigan and Champagne Piaff, while other other activations included Ruby Flowers, southeast Asian food business Okanda and local bakery Kilted Donuts. Its also offers regular meet the maker tasting events with Scottish craft distilleries.
“It’s really important to us that Bonnie & Wild is always vibrant and fresh, that we champion amazing Scottish food and drink products, and that we can always offer our guests something new and exciting.”
