BBQ IN A BOX
KRISTINA MCSPADDEN BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER - NON-FOODS
With summer approaching, the leaves are green, the sun is shining and the grills are firing. It’s the perfect time for, you guessed it, Barbeque! The smell, the sauces, the ribs! Did you know the average person is cooking between 17 to 21 meals per week, four times the amount they used to since the onset of the pandemic? I didn’t say from scratch, I said cooking at home. My question is - have you embraced take home meals? Take home meals can be packaged in a way to cook at home or just eat at home. Since more of us are preparing meals at home, family cooking means customers are looking for convenience as well as variety. We have every packaging solution available to tempt people to fire up the grill or take a picnic basket to their favorite family spot. According to Mintel’s 2019 Summer Food and Drink Trend Report, vegan barbecue is on the rise. The report found that 33% of U.S. consumers and 37% of millennials planned to buy more plant-based foods. Considering this trend, we have an array of compostable and biodegradable containers that go hand in hand with food origin and sustainability. From our catering boxes which can be used to offer an entire picnic to the hottest trends in packaging, your Performance Food Group team can help you put ideas into a convenient offering for your customers. Let us show you how!
