"In the UK there are over 350k foodservice outlets, far outnumbering traditional grocery + convenience store numbers which creates huge opportunities for distribution and brand exposure. When consumers are out of home, they’re more open to discovery, and that levels the playing field for emerging brands. The channel is evolving from a transactional into an experience-led one."
