Doritos Dinamita's recent in-store activation campaign has been a huge success for participating convenience stores as the campaign created quite a buzz among shoppers leading to rise in impulse sales, a leading independent retailer has revealed.

PepsiCo recently launched its latest NPD Doritos Dinamita exclusively into the convenience stores. The launch was accompanied by massive in-store activation in convenience stores across the country.


Bobby Singh from Pontefract, who also jazzed up his store BB Superstore earlier this week for the activation, told Asian Trader that the activation turned out to be a huge success.

He said, "The activation has been a huge success, thanks to the incredible Point of Sale displays, eye-catching merchandise, and engaging in-store experience that truly captured the attention of customers.

"The Spin-to-Win game was a real hit, adding an element of fun and excitement for customers."

Not only did his customers enjoy the thrill of playing, but many were also lucky enough to win exclusive merchandise, further boosting engagement, stated Singh.

"Customers were already making purchases while we were setting up, demonstrating the immediate impact of the vibrant POS presence," he said,

Expressing gratitude towards PepsiCo UK and Walkers Crisps UK for their "outstanding support during the Doritos Dinamita activation", Singh also applauded Cirkle for "bringing everything together and making it all happen"

"The passion from PepsiCo, Walkers Crisps, Cirkle, and retailers drove this campaign to success, with everyone’s dedication making a huge impact on the activation’s results.

"This fantastic execution led to excellent sales and remarkable incremental growth. The strong social media presence also amplified the campaign’s reach, keeping the buzz going well beyond the store," Singh shared with Asian Trader.

Calling it a "game-changing launch", One Stop retailer Priyesh Vekaria from Manchester stated on social media how the new launch is already making waves, "tapping into the growing demand for spicy flavours among Gen Z consumers".

Vekaria pointed out that the activation's big-ticket promotions, high-impact in-store theatre that disrupts the consumer shopping journey and marketing that keeps consumers engaged beyond the shelf are what set this activation apart.

Elsewhere in Northamptonshire village of Kislingbury, retailer Vidur Pandya is also basking in his "first in-store activation".

He stated on social media that he could not have pulled this off without great product and amazing POS materials that made Doritos Dinamita "stands out on the shelves".

Britain's enduring love affair with beer, lager, and cider is set to flourish once again

Navigating the changing landscape of beer, lager, and cider

As winter's grip finally loosens and the UK eagerly anticipates the arrival of spring, the nation's enduring love affair with beer, lager, and cider is set to flourish once again. Despite economic pressures and rising costs, these traditional favourites remain firmly entrenched as Britain's alcoholic beverages of choice, accounting for an impressive 65 per cent of total alcohol consumed nationwide.

The UK alcoholic beer market is projected to generate £8.8 billion in off-trade revenue in 2025, with steady growth anticipated at 0.62 per cent annually through 2029, according to Statista figures. With the average Briton expected to consume nearly 32 litres of beer at home this year, the opportunity for convenience retailers remains substantial – particularly as consumers continue their migration from on-trade to off-trade purchasing in search of better value.

The rise and rise of Swiss Army knife c-store

The rise and rise of Swiss Army knife c-store

Last year we were writing about the “Swiss Army knife c-store", a shop that could hold its own against the mults and discounters because it stood at the centre of its community. It would dispense not just groceries but many of the services that encourage people to visit, the everyday things they rely on – from post-office counters and banking to picking up parcels and even dry-cleaning – that could save them a trip into town and encourage them also to purchase some extra items while they were in-store.

The development has been ongoing for some time, and the digital revolution meant continually upgraded and affordable ePOS systems and digital stock-taking enterprises, until electronic shelf-edge labels, self-re-stocking systems and other space-age miracles started to come within reach of even the smallest retailer.

Dairy: Towards newer, value-added products

The UK’s dairy sector is undergoing a period of transformation, shaped by shifting consumer habits, economic pressures, and evolving attitudes towards health and sustainability. The cost-of-living crisis, which has dominated retail trends in recent years, has led to significant cutbacks in dairy purchases, with milk and butter among the hardest-hit categories.

According to NIQ data, published in December, milk sales experienced a substantial drop of £223.3 million over the past 12 months, while butter, spreads, and margarine saw a decrease of £63.7m. These figures position milk as the fastest falling category and butter, spreads, and margarine as the third fastest declining in 2024.
