Restaurant Brands - UK - June 2009
Restaurant-branded products within the UK retail market remain niche, with factors such as the need for high restaurant brand awareness and competition from established grocery brands acting as significant barriers to entry. However, whilst there are various examples of restaurant-driven retail products that have failed to be sustainable over the years (eg Planet Hollywood), Nando’s sauces/marinades and PizzaExpress salad dressings continue to be market leaders in their respective sectors.
This report is primarily focused on the foodservice/restaurant brand within a grocery retail environment, although it also investigates the impact of ‘designer food’ on consumers by investigating past and current restaurant-driven retail brands as well as briefly exploring the world of celebrity-branded foods. It also examines the impact of the recession on consumer shopping habits both in- and out-of-home, as well as establishing in which food categories consumers are most motivated by branding.
