Whether you operate a hotel grab-and-go station, a convenience store snack counter, or any kind of micro market area that provides on-the-go snacks and meals, you know the value of having the right products on hand to help customers who are always on the move fuel their cravings.

According to a recent study, consumers are snacking 2.3 times a day, and 22% purchase grab-and-go meals from convenience stores at least once a week.1 However, consumers also want healthy grab-and-go meal options when they're on the go. In fact, 60% of consumers are more aware of mindful snacking, and 61% look for healthier snack alternatives.2

With the rise of health-conscious consumers, offering options that cater to dietary needs while still being delicious and convenient is crucial. In addition, providing nutritious grab-and-go meals can help you stand out from the competition because customers are more likely to choose a location that provides options, from brands they know and love, that align with their dietary needs.
