PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Expansion of retail distribution channels for alcoholic beverages may reduce demand for bars and pubs
The retail landscape for alcoholic beverages in Canada is undergoing significant transformation. Ontario has announced plans to allow convenience stores to sell beer, wine, spirits, and cider from 2026 onwards, with provinces such as British Columbia and Manitoba expected to follow suit within the next two years.
Health-conscious and non-alcoholic drinks shaping future demand
The rising trend of mindful drinking is expected to continue shaping the café and bar industry, particularly among younger demographics who are prioritising wellness and moderation. Consumers increasingly seek alternatives to traditional alcoholic beverages, with mocktails, low-alcohol drinks, and functional beverages such as kombucha gaining widespread popularity.
Innovation in technology and social media engagement driving efficiency and sales
In an era of increasingly fast-paced lifestyles, efficiency and convenience have become paramount for consumers, particularly in the coffee shop and bar industries. Operators are responding by integrating technology-driven solutions to expedite service and enhance customer experiences.
