Increased prices haven’t soured America’s appetite for packaged sweet snacks.
In 2022, a whole lot of convenience store shoppers were in the mood for something sweet. Packaged sweet snacks sales rose 18.9% in 2022 compared with 2021, according to the NACS State of the Industry Report of 2022 Data. “Packaged sweet snacks were up year over year, with pricing pushing a lot of the sales growth,” said Jayme Gough, NACS research manager.
