The finalists for the store categories for The Convenience Awards 2025 have been revealed.
Brought to you by Convenience Store, Lumina Intelligence and The Grocer, The Convenience Awards 2025 takes place on 19 March at The Victoria Warehouse in Manchester.
A celebration of the entire convenience community, the event recognises excellence from across the sector. As well as the store categories, there are also research awards, derived from data sourced from Lumina Intelligence’s Convenience Tracking Programme that tracks shopper behaviour continuously throughout the year, which provides insights into the channel that can’t be found anywhere else.
“The quality of this year’s entries were extremely high and made our judging panel of experts work very hard to decide on finalists. At a time when the sector is under severe pressure from rising costs and increased levels of crime, it’s inspiring to see how innovative and enterprising the convenience community is,” said editor of Convenience Store, Aidan Fortune.
“The awards on 19 March will be a fantastic event, full of fun and networking. We were blown away by the positive response to holding the event in Manchester for the first time this year so we’re hoping that The Convenience Awards 2025 will be even bigger and better!”
The Convenience Awards 2025 are kindly sponsored by Allwyn, Bestway, Booker Retail Partners, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, Nestlé, Rollover, Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I.
