Allrounders will have 52 confectionary varieties across boiled, gum, mint and bonbons, chocolate and toffee lines with each sub variety having their own distinctive pack colours of yellow, pink, green and purple.

Available in stores from the beginning of February, the range includes thirty-four vegetarian society and forty-one halal approved lines.

The Allrounders brand continues the journey of its well distributed predecessor of £Onepounders and Halfpounders, the big yellow bag, which was the original offer when launched in 1990.

Carly Rae, Trade Marketing Manager at Golden Casket, commented: “Our All-Rounders offer is a new name but with the same all-round delicious taste and value of its predecessors, the brand will continue to champion and support the Independent retail sector throughout the UK.”

Community retailing at its best

Community retailing at its best

British convenience stores have evolved far beyond being places to pick up milk or bread; they have become community hubs where lives intersect, stories are shared, and memories are created.

Nestled in the charming Northamptonshire village of Kislingbury, Kislingbury Village Store is a shining example of this evolution—a living, breathing symbol of resilience and community spirit.

Christmas snacks special: Festive flavours, big sales

Season of indulgence is here. It is the season when we forget diets and calorie counting; it is the time when crisps, snacks, and nuts come into their own, much like the glittering baubles we dust off every December.

Convenience stores know this better than anyone. December transforms these everyday items into must-haves, with shoppers piling their baskets high with everything from festive-flavored crisps to honey-roasted nut mixes that pair perfectly with a glass of mulled wine. After all, everyone craves a good crunch during Christmas movies or as we gather with friends and family.

Carry on vaping

Perhaps the first item of business is the disposable vapes ban, scheduled to come into force on 1 June next year, and almost universally regarded by those within the industry as counter-productive, perhaps even encouraging ex-smokers to take up the weed again.

All grown up and responsible

Convenience stores have always been more than just a place to pick up groceries – they are vital community hubs. This role was highlighted during the pandemic, as they became lifelines for essential supplies and services. Then, amidst the cost-of-living crisis and soaring inflation, convenience retailers have once again stepped up, helping shoppers stay closer to home and navigate financial pressures by catering to the growing demand for smaller, more frequent shops.

This increased reliance, however, comes with a heightened sense of responsibility. Retailers are not only tasked with meeting the immediate needs of their customers but also supporting the broader community in meaningful ways. Whether through charity initiatives, health education, or sustainability efforts, convenience stores are redefining what it means to be responsible business owners.
