The news that former Sainsbury’s boss Justin King is to invest a “substantial” sum of money in home delivery platform Snappy Shopper – and become a special advisor to the group – comes as a ringing endorsement of the independent convenience sector as it faces up to the challenges of the post-pandemic retail landscape.
The sector is facing massive competition for on-demand groceries at the moment. On the one hand there are the big multiples such as Waitrose, which has just expanded its deal with Deliveroo to more than 100 stores, offering groceries in as little as 20 minutes.
Then there are new operators such as Getir and Weezy, who are looking to deliver from a network of their own ‘dark stores’ around the country and effectively put independent corner shops out of business.
IT PAYS TO DISPLAY
accessories
market is big business, particularly in the convenience sector which accounts for more than three-quarters of all tracked sales.
New products have a major role to play in ensuring the £310m category 1 achieves its sales potential, including environmentally-friendly products such as the OCB range,
currently the UK’s fastest-growing mainstream paper brand 1.
Effective product display is also really important. It’s one of the keys to increasing awareness and demand, particularly if you’re looking to increase profits by stocking products that deliver on quality, brand assurance and strong margin.
