A Tale of Two C-Store Regions

Dear Client:  All data is NIQ, 13 weeks ending 9/10/24 For this quarter’s "Around the World with 3 Tier Beverages" deep dive analysis (with Mary Mills), we take a closer look at the convenience channel.

While total beer/FMB/cider is down -1.8% in dollars in total U.S. (xAOC+Liq+Conv) the latest 13 weeks, the total U.S. convenience trend for the category is down -2.7%.
