Coffee is an in-store traffic driver
Coffee is the 10th ranked traffic driving category among a ranking of 129 categories in grocery, and the top reason is because consumers don’t want to run out of it.
Shoppers primarily shop the category as a regular purchase (63%), and purchase triggers include pre-store promotions, primarily flyers and loyalty or rewards.
