SHINING STAR

How high-definition gummies, "discovery shoppers," and limited edition, licensed confectionery are reshaping the convenience store candy aisle.

Tap into seasonal success with data, trends and innovations from beverage alcohol leaders.

"Smaller formats, particularly 375 mL bottles, are seeing increased popularity as they offer an affordable way to enjoy quality wine without the commitment of a full bottle."

"Order early, and be ready for the long weekends! Traditionally, 45% of alcohol is sold between Victoria Day and Labour Day."

"Create strong call outs for your local/craft sections, as this attribute becomes increasingly important and top of mind for shoppers."

"Convenience retailers can lean into flavour, ensure core products are well-stocked and chilled, and don’t overlook the growing demand for low and no alcohol options."
