But even as the restrictions lift and a return to normalcy slowly comes to fruition, the concept of grab-and-go isn’t going anywhere. With kids back in school and people going back to the office, convenience stores, cafeterias, and other foodservice operations with pre-packaged meals see the need for grab-and-go in high demand. The grab-and-go concept is nothing new in foodservice, but the types of businesses and institutions utilizing grab-and-go have evolved to take advantage of refrigerated self-serve display cases and end caps that draw attention. ## **Why Grab-and-Go?** Grab-and-go works because it serves a need any time of day and is easily adaptable for different types of meals. A successful grab-and-go concept needs the right equipment where buyers can immediately see what they want, make their selections, purchase, and get out quickly. During COVID, that reduced time in the store or in line has been even more magnified. COVID has tremendously impacted the way convenience stores and cafeterias offer dining options. In fact, although this is a huge market now, recent studies indicate the post-pandemic world will look a lot different, and the idea of grab-and-go convenience will stretch well beyond convenience stores and cafeterias, and into more non-traditional places for grab-and-go like stadiums, hotels, even restaurants. The key behind the success of grab-and-go is having the right products in plain view for those shoppers, especially those who frequently make impulse purchases. Food items that are pre-packaged, easy to carry, and strategically placed all increase the success of a grab-and-go concept. ## **Profitable Grab-and-Go Solutions** Self-serve merchandisers add convenience for grab-and-go shoppers in an efficient, yet attractive presentation. While refrigerated options have always been the go-to when it comes to grab-and-go, there is a new breed of shoppers who look for hot-food options any time of day. This has been very popular during COVID and will continue to help expand the grab-and-go market. Federal Industries provides equipment solutions that meet the grab-and-go needs of vendors and buyers.
