COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Travel locations remain dominated by high-footfall, brand-led operators
In UK travel locations such as airports, railway stations and motorway service areas, brand strength and operational efficiency are central to competitive positioning. Operators such as SSP Group continue to expand in high-traffic hubs.
Retail locations prioritise convenience, mixed-use formats and experiential offerings
In UK retail-led locations, foodservice operators are increasingly positioning themselves through format adaptation and proximity to footfall. Supermarket cafés, such as Morrisons Café, continue to operate as self-service cafeterias, providing full meals with limited service for shoppers, while in-store hot food counters align with limited-service or kiosk-style formats.
