PepsiCo supporting independent businesses this summer with massive giveaway

PepsiCo is supporting independent businesses this summer by offering ten entrants the chance to win up to £2,000 in its latest giveaway. A first for PepsiCo, the giveaway will be open to both independent away-from-home operators and independent retailers. To enter, operators or retailers must simply purchase three cases of any qualifying product* in a single transaction from a participating wholesaler and text to win, by 31 August.

Out-of-home snacking continues to be a key snacking occasion within the Savoury Snacks Category, with 19 per cent (+5pp) share . Summer provides a significant opportunity for retailers and independent businesses to capitalise on this and encourage incremental spend.


With the giveaway including RRP price-marked-packs, PepsiCo is helping retailers to tap into demand for the pack format at a time when consumers are after reassurance. RRP price-marked-packs also continue to play a strong role within savoury snacking. Sharing RRP PMPs account for 42 per cent of salty snacks value sales in the Crisps, Snacks and Nuts segment and continue to grow at +20.1 per cent vs. previous year , demonstrating just how important RRP PMPs remain.

“The start of summer means more consumers visiting convenience stores and independent outlets, to prepare for a barbecue, grab a quick snack, or spend time with friends and family," said Mike Chapman, Head of Wholesale at PepsiCo. "At PepsiCo, we wanted to support our independent away-from-home and retailer colleague s through one of the busiest times of the year with our latest giveaway, helping them to invest in their outlets so that they can continue serving their communities.”
