SYRACUSE, UT - Tell your shoppers they will cry no longer! Returning to stores late October is Onions 52’s Smileys™, a tearless and sweet onion. These premium onions are domestically grown and available to ship from all Onions 52 locations, including the company’s new East shed in Ohio, ensuring ease of delivery and nationwide supply for the upcoming season.

Shawn Hartley, President, Onions 52

“We’ve grown our tearless, sweet onions for several seasons now, and every year we have exponentially expanded our acreage, a testament to the premium quality and taste consumers love about these onions,” shared Shawn Hartley, President. “Smileys are not an easy onion to grow, and we have perfected the process by investing in proprietary growing and harvesting methods to ensure consumers are getting the top quality that only our variety of tearless and sweet onions can offer. While there may be other tearless onions on the market, none are comparable to the Smileys brand promise.”

Harvested in August, Smileys are unique sweet onions that remain in storage for several months until reaching the brand’s promise of sweetness and tearless-ness. Smileys are shipped in high-graphic, 40 lb fuchsia cartons that are an-eye catcher throughout produce departments, and offered in both 3 lb and 5 lb pack sizes.

Smileys are available through mid-April or while supplies last and make the perfect kitchen companion for seasonal celebrations your shoppers are already getting prepared for.
