Sandwich Trends
If you’re in the fast-casual restaurant industry, you know how important trends can be for business. Sandwich shops are no different. Here are some trends that sandwich shop owners should know:
- Deli meat is still a staple of most homes. Most Americans choose deli meat for its convenience and flavor innovation, promising to remain on consumer’s minds.
- Premium products are king. New flavors and styles are providing more sandwich options than ever before.
- Healthful choices are becoming indispensable. Healthier choices matter more than they did a decade ago. More Americans are eating healthier since the pandemic in an effort to thwart off the virus and other health issues. Plant-based products are also poised to grow.
- Pre-packaged meats are seeing growth. Pre-sliced meats allow for convenience, longer shelf life, and packaging technology that maintains safety, quality, and flavor.
- Snacking is the ultimate meal. Consumers are replacing meals with snacks more often, and single-serve products are providing solutions for socially distanced, smaller holiday gatherings by giving consumers the opportunity to explore various options without spending a fortune.
- Ready-to-eat and do-it-yourself takes a big bite. Charcuterie continues to be a popular trend, and consumers enjoy preparing grazing platters at home. Meal kits are a great opportunity to express creativity and prepare trays catered to specific tastes or dietary restrictions.
- E-tail continues its surge. While in-store buying isn’t completely abandoned, more customers than ever are continuing to utilize online shopping as the means of ordering and picking up groceries.
