Alimentation
Couche-Tard has acquired Holiday Stationstores,
CST Brands, Ultramar and
many more in each case the template has been the same integrate a fresh food
first strategy to drive brand consolidation and sales with a focus on grocerant
niche Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh food fast according to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice
Solutions®.
So, when EG Group, the British
retailer which last year purchased Kroger's convenience-store business, has
now entered into a binding agreement for the acquisition of Cumberland Farms, according to Johnson we should
expect the same. Simply put more grocerant
niche Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh food.
Consolidation in any industry is a sign
of sector strength according to Johnson and the C-store sector has been on fire
for 9 years. What is more important is
haw the ‘big’ money sees the future of the industry and it clearly is pointing
to a dramatic growth of grocerant niche Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh food.
