Product Information

And finally, Westons says outdoor occasions have gained prominence over the past two years as outlets have invested in improving outdoor spaces. Drinkers who choose venues for their outdoor areas tend to be less sensitive to price, so there’s opportunity to grow value sales via trade-up options.

Trends matter according to Molson Coors’ Mark Bentley. He says: “There is a real opportunity for outlets to drive more cider sales over the summer months. The key for suppliers and operators alike is to stay close to the latest consumer trends and deliver innovations that consumers are going to love.”
