A Post-Pandemic Report
The onset of Covid 19 brought about a variety of changes in our behaviors and our shopping habits. Some of which (such as alcohol delivery) brought about entirely new laws and markets. However, more often, the pandemic shook up existing markets, detracting from some and providing a boon to others. Pandemic restrictions have largely faded away over the past two years, but many of these trends have stood the test of time.
Though restaurants are full again on any given weekend, C-Stores and Markets have gone on to see increased sales for Grab and Go options every year since the pandemic hit, along with a marked increase in overall quality of products. In fact, according to recent market studies, 56% of consumers consider C-Stores as an alternative to Fast Food and Fast Casual eateries.
This consistent rise in grab and go sales is not just about easily accessible food options (though that is invariably a part of it), the quality of convenience store offerings has also increased considerably in the past few years. With better quality ingredients, and made to order options becoming increasingly prevalent.
With the demand for higher quality grab and go products on the rise, the necessity for higher quality and varied display solutions has increased as well. Grab and Go Displays come in many styles, sizes, and temperatures. Finding the right set of grab and go merchandisers is an integral part of creating or adding on to your concept.
