SBF brings back ‘Win the weekend’ competition

The competition comes as out-of-home snacking now has a 19% share of the savoury snacks category, up by 5%. Additionally, the inclusion of PMPs in the list of qualifying products aims to help retailers tap into growing demand.

Sharing PMPs account for 42% of salty snacks value sales in crisps, snacks & nuts and are growing by 20.1% compared to last year.

“The start of summer means more consumers visiting convenience stores and independent outlets, to prepare for a barbecue, grab a quick snack, or spend time with friends and family,” said PepsiCo’s head of wholesale, Mike Chapman.

“We wanted to support our independent away-from-home and retailer colleague s through one of the busiest times of the year with our latest giveaway, helping them to invest in their outlets so that they can continue serving their communities.”
