Category overview
Fast-growing Indian street food operator, Mowgli has its own range
of signature mocktails, lassis and low and no offerings and Flat Iron
has a range of non-alcoholic house 昀椀zzes. Fat Hippo offers a range of
昀椀zzy drinks including Pepsi MAX® by the pint and Itsu has a range of
co-branded LA Brewery kombuchas, as well as own-brand 昀氀avoured
sparkling drinks.
Evidently, soft drinks are playing a more central role in many
operators’ propositions. As we will explore in greater detail in the
next chapter, health, indulgence and specialisation are all tools
that foodservice operators are using to stand out from the crowd.
For example, Megan’s, which had increased its estate to around
25 outlets by the end of 2023,22 offers a range of juices,
smoothies and health shots as part of its breakfast and
brunch menu. And fried chicken chains, Popeyes
and Slim Chickens, have ranges of
ultra-indulgent hand-spun shakes.
Fast food, rapid growth
Fast food is in rapid growth. By the end of 2023, there were more than 44,000 fast food
outlets trading across the UK, with annual sales worth £17.6bn. That represents 56.4%
growth in turnover and a 4% rise in the number of outlets trading since 2020. Street food
and contemporary fast food have seen the strongest growth.23
