Bestway, the UK-based wholesale retailer, has highlighted the opportunities for community-focused convenience stores to address some of society’s biggest issues, including emissions, mental health and obesity. Speaking at Bestway’s first Retail Showcase event, Bestway CEO, Dawood Pervez, emphasised the role local stores play in reducing emissions by catering for pedestrians rather than motorised traffic. Pervez also stressed that c-stores help to address the obesity crisis, as customers are less likely to buy oversized multi-packs with poor nutritional value. The event showcased Bestway’s offerings, including its Best-one and Bargain Booze brands and offered insights into Bestway’s future plans for technology and collaboration. Earlier this year retailer Bestway trialled the bringing together of Costcutter and Bargain Booze, and has since opened 14 stores with plans to open more before Christmas at a rate of one per week.
