The Intersection of Foodservice & Snacking

Snacking is an essential factor in a convenience store’s business. However, snacking goes beyond packaged snacks, whether salty or sweet. Foodservice snacks are drawing consumers looking for something “fresh.” A recent survey by Carbonview Research, sister company of Convenience Store News, found c-store shoppers are adding foodservice snacks — from fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, to fresh bakery items, to hot appetizer-type foods — to their baskets around the clock.
