Time starved
ready-2-eat consumers want better for you food and believe that multiple small
meals are better for you than one regular meal are replacing breakfast with
snacks. Restaurants, Grocery stores, Convenience stores and chain Drug stores
are all ready to cash in on this new trend.
Walgreens now has
500+ stores that host Café W selling fresh beverages and tag-along snacks that
are providing incremental lift to stores. Taco Bell has a focus on the “fourth
meal”, while McDonalds is garnering lift with new coffee beverage options and
snack wraps.
Nielsen reported that last year sales
of all snack foods reached $16.64 billion, that is 3.3 percent from a year
ago. Consumers are dynamic not static
food retailers must incorporate directional moves by consumer into their
product offerings.
