The drumbeat for retail foodservice continues its steady roll this year, though at varying volumes. For supermarkets, Technomic is anticipating 6% food and beverage real sales growth in 2017, while c-stores are expected to see a more modest 1.3% real growth. Why the lower expectations for c-stores? The vast majority of c-stores offer basic foodservice, a mature part of the business. Nonetheless, the industry can expect to see slow but steady ongoing growth.
