Staying in to watch the football at home? The Brits don’t really need a reason to visit the On Trade, but the Euro’s will provide a strong pull for even the lightest of drinkers to get together and experience that great pub atmosphere.  However, for those that are looking to support from home, multipacks of cider are proving to be great value for those special occasions. Consumers are finding two of Westons multipacks especially appealing… the Stowford Press 10 x 440ml can pack has grown 34.4% in the past year, against a category that’s growing 4.4%. In a similar position, in crafted cider, is the Henry Westons 500ml x 6 pack, which is growing at an impressive 41.6% year on year, and is now a top 25 cider sku. Read more about the category and the trends for the year ahead in the latest Westons Cider report today: https://lnkd.in/eE3G_zX7 Source: Circana Infoscan 52 w/e 20th April 2024

🔥 🥯 Just Sold 🥯🔥 • Thrilled to announce that we just closed on this Nassau County bagel shop. • It wasn’t without its challenges—from restructuring the deal last minute to some unexpected litigation with the shopping center, there were quite a few moments when we weren’t sure this would cross the finish line. ⏲️ • We had to navigate a lot of moving parts, and there were times when both buyer and seller almost walked away. But through it all, we worked hard to keep everyone cool and committed to staying at the table. 🤝 • The buyer, a seasoned bagel guy who ran a successful shop in the city, is ready to bring some fresh energy, including making bagels in-house and partnering with a famous baker to elevate the recipes. 🧈 • It was an all-cash deal at a fair price, and despite all the challenges, both sides are walking away happy. Excited to see what’s next for this local spot! - Looking to buy or sell a business?

One of the most significant challenges for any brand entering a new market is establishing brand awareness—especially with a distinctive ice cream concept like The Original Rainbow Cone. With over 98 years of history, we believe our compelling story will resonate deeply with new customers. We know that once they experience our one-of-a-kind Rainbow Cone, they’ll fall in love, no matter where they are from. As part of our market entry strategy for our first Texas location, we deployed our iconic ice cream truck for two weeks of community engagement events. By offering free Rainbow Cones, we served over 4,000 individuals in our target market, personally sharing our rich brand history with each one. This initiative not only generated significant buzz—landing us a feature on a popular local news station—but it has also set the stage for our grand opening on November 14th. The excitement in Hurst, TX, and surrounding communities is palpable, and our franchisee couldn't be more thrilled with the response. Creating connections through authentic experiences is key to building lasting brand loyalty, and we’re just getting started! #Franchising #BrandAwareness #MarketEntry #CommunityEngagement https://lnkd.in/g_RxbMTX

What a wonderful story of the value of the co-operative model. The Plainfield Co-op in Vermont is a 51-year-old community-owned grocery store that is in the midst of a VERY unique expansion. The co-op's small store couldn't provide the variety of grocery choices their community wanted, and the low volume of sales was impacting the prices they could offer. Lack of land and parking limited who could be served and their ability to expand in place. Enter Plainfield Hardware (+ garden center, pet supply, deli & gifts) that had been up for sale. The co-op explored the feasibility of acquiring the business and site following which members voted in favor of the expansion and diversification. The move is projected to double grocery sales and add an additional $1.4M in revenues from the hardware store. The co-op is now presently operating in both locations as it eventually transitions the entire operation into the new single store. What an amazing effort! #whoownsyourgrocerystore #cooperatives #foodcoop #localeconomicdevelopment 👏
