One Stop revamps grocery range

One Stop revamps grocery range

Tesco’s One Stop convenience subsidiary has overhauled its biscuits, cereals, and beverages categories.

The move follows recent range resets in alcohol, confectionery, chilled, and frozen food, and comes after last week’s announcement that the 1,000+ strong chain is phasing out its current own-label products and replacing them with its parent’s ‘Core Own Brand’ range.


The latest changes will see the introduction of healthier breakfast and snack products to meet the needs of health-conscious consumers. New lines include Oatly Oat Drinks, Go Ahead Fruit Slices, Quaker Apple & Blueberry Porridge Pot, and Belvita Soft Bakes Choc Chips.

One Stop is also rolling out new, trend-setting lines for younger consumers, such as Bubbleology Passion Fruit Bubble Tea and Fuel10k Chocolate Breakfast Drink.

One Stop’s cereal fixture has also had a revamp, bringing in Weetabix Chocolate, Kellogg’s Fruit n Fibre, Nestle Cheerios Honey, and Kellogg’s Coco Pops Chocos.

“To support the customer mission, we reviewed how we merchandised our cereals. Customers can find what they’re looking for with much more ease, and more on-the-go breakfast items,” said Henry Maulik, Head of Product at One Stop.

Meanwhile, One Stop has brought in a variety of instant hot drinks that offer customers “café-like beverages from the comfort of their own home”. New lines include Nescafe Original 3 in 1 sachets, Nescafe Quality Street Green Triangle Mocha sachets, and Cadbury Instant Hot Chocolate.

Things to know about new Simpler Recycling reforms

With just 70 days left to go until the government’s new Simpler Recycling reforms are implemented, most businesses are not prepared for the changes in the rule, claims a leading business waste management service.

Although the UK's overall recycling rate has seen a significant rise, reaching 44 per cent in 2015 compared to just 17 per cent in 2008, progress has plateaued in recent years, with indications that the rate may now be declining.

Safer alternatives to cigarettes could save millions of lives and billions of pounds, says think tank

Promoting safer alternatives to cigarettes could save 19 million years of life by 2030 and reduce smoking-related costs to taxpayers by up to £12.6 billion annually, a new report from the Adam Smith Institute (ASI) has revealed.

The think tank argues that the UK government's current approach to achieving a Smoke Free 2030 - defined as reducing smoking rates to 5 per cent or lower - is both illiberal and unworkable and will significantly set back progress against smoking related harm. The ASI warns that policies such as a generational tobacco ban, a new tax on vapes, and restrictions on heated tobacco products and flavours will hinder harm reduction efforts.
