Nothing gets people mooooooving like chocolate milk. Last weekend, Advantage Solutions' experiential team partnered with Kroger stores for National Chocolate Milk Day (Sept. 27) — including two special events in Cincinnati and 2,250 in-store demo events in 750 stores across the U.S. The fun events featured a chocolate milkshake blender bike … because, of course it did. Shoutout to our teammates April Miolla and Taylor Sanders for leading the team and creating a fun memory for countless shoppers, young and old(er). #TeamADV

Ahead of this year’s NACS Show, we asked our convenience store experts at Advantage Solutions to share some of the trends and developments that are changing the c-store landscape. From bigger stores to new formats to enhanced foodservice programs and services, retailers are transforming the way they do business. And keep an eye out for more private brands! “By offering items that your customers love that they can only get from you, you become the destination of choice,” says our Gil Phipps, SVP, global customer solutions. Learn more about Advantage Solutions’ capabilities and retailer and brand services at the NACS Show at Booth N1447 in the Las Vegas Convention Center, October 7-10.

Andrea Young, chief operating officer for experiential services at Advantage Solutions, knows a thing or two about the power of being one’s authentic self. As Advantage’s first openly LGBTQ+ executive leader, Young was a founding member of the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion board in 2020. At this week’s Kroger Wellness Festival, Young will discuss the importance of inclusion with Laurie Hernandez, a trailblazing Latina gymnast who won gold and silver medals at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Consumers are going cuckoo for cocoa this holiday season, as hot cocoa flavor is showing up in everything from beverages to snack bars, dairy products and even popcorn. That’s bad news for perennial favorites pumpkin and pumpkin spice, which have dropped from the top spot in purchase interest among consumers, according to research from Daymon, which powers private brands development for Advantage Solutions. Not to worry, pumpkin lovers! Your favorite flavors are still well represented in our holiday season survey, along with caramel, apple, peppermint and a surprisingly strong showing for cinnamon. Find out which festive flavors consumers will be seeking out this season — and how private brands can join in the celebration.

Gone are the days when shoppers turned up their noses at so-called generic store brands. Consider this staggering fact: Today, 87% of shoppers buy private brands during every typical grocery trip. Private brands are scorching hot after gaining market share for three consecutive years, according to the latest Private Brand Intelligence Report (PBIR), produced by Daymon, which powers private brand development for Advantage Solutions. Check out our blog to learn more about the PBIR report, which details the latest data and insights. (Spoiler alert: School lunches are a year-round opportunity.) https://lnkd.in/gBmbySan
