Walkers, Bestway bring back retailer Win A Van competition – with a twist

Walkers, Bestway bring back retailer Win A Van competition – with a twist

As part of its ongoing commitment to support retailers and the wholesale sector, Walkers is once again partnering with Bestway to bring back its ‘Win a Van’ competition for the seventh year running. New for this year, the winning retailer will be able to customise their prize – a Nissan Townstar EV L1 90kW Acenta Electric Van – by wrapping the van with their existing business name and logo, helping them promote their business in the local area.

Retailers can enter by buying a qualifying case* of Walkers, Doritos, Cheetos, Kurkure, Popworks or Smiths 48-91g £1.25 RRP sharing price-marked packs from Bestway in store or online and texting VAN, their full name, business name and postcode to 85100 to enter the prize draw for a chance to win.


As Walkers and Bestway gear up for another successful campaign, retailers have an incredible opportunity to significantly expand their visibility and impact within their local communities. By offering the chance to win a customisable electric van, Walkers is providing retailers with a unique promotional tool that goes beyond the traditional competition prize – enabling them to brand the vehicle with their existing business name and logo. This offers an invaluable mobile advertising platform that will allow the winning retailer to enhance their presence in the community, driving greater awareness and attracting new customers as they go about their daily deliveries and operations.

“Now in its seventh year, our Win a Van competition underpins our ongoing commitment to independent retailers, the wholesale sector, and Bestway," said Nic Storey, Senior Sales Director, Impulse & Field Sales at PepsiCo. "Given the huge number of entries from last year's competition, we view this event as a key fixture in our calendar of support for the trade and we know the van is a popular prize. From cash & carry runs to daily deliveries or supplying local events, the van is a gateway for a multitude of possibilities for a business and we’re proud to support retailers in this way each year.”

Kenton Burchell, Group Trading Director at Bestway, said: “The Win a Van promotion has been a tremendous success since its launch in 2017, consistently delivering strong results for our depots, whilst offering a tempting incentive for retailers to stock up on key savoury snacking products. We are delighted to once again partner with Walkers and expect this year’s competition to be another significant milestone in our collective support of the trade.”

The competition is live now and will run until 10th October 2024. For full T&Cs and details on how to enter, please visit: Prizeology.com/van.
