US-based plant-based food brand Barvecue has announced the launch of what it claims is the first-ever plant-based rotisserie chicken-style product, expanding its frozen range with a new high-protein, ready-to-eat option. The product is formulated to replicate the flavour and texture of traditional rotisserie chicken, offering a convenient, pre-seasoned solution for consumers seeking healthier and more sustainable meal options. Made from whole soybeans and sweet potato, Barvecue’s proprietary protein blend is complemented by a clean-label ingredient list including organic apple cider vinegar, expeller-pressed canola oil, water and spices. The shredded format is designed for versatility, suitable for use in salads, wraps, sandwiches or as a centre-of-plate protein. Each serving provides 130 calories and 10g of protein, with low sodium, no GMOs and zero cholesterol. “As demand continues to grow for healthy, simple and convenient meal options, we're excited to bring a delicious plant-based chicken to market that elevates nutrition without compromising flavour or texture,” said Lee Cooper, CEO of Barvecue. “Rotisserie Seasoned Chicken is a step forward in our mission to offer plant-based proteins that appeal to everyone at the table.” The new product joins Barvecue’s Pulled BVQ and Carnitas in the brand’s frozen portfolio and is now available at Harris Teeter stores across the US Southeast.

UK-based Higgidy has launched two new product lines, Protein-Boosted Scone Bites and Savoury Potato Frittatas, to capture growing consumer demand for high-protein, on-the-go savoury snacks. Higgidy, the UK-based savoury pastry brand, has announced a significant expansion of its portfolio with the launch of two new product lines: Savoury Potato Frittatas and Protein-Boosted Scone Bites. The move represents a strategic effort to capitalise on the "protein boom," transitioning the brand’s traditionally indulgent pastry image toward a more functional, "better-for-you" snacking profile. The new products are designed to meet the needs of "on-the-go" consumers seeking convenient, high-protein meal solutions that do not compromise on ingredient quality or culinary complexity. Technical Profile of the Savoury Potato Frittatas The new Savoury Potato Frittatas are positioned as a high-protein meal or snack option, delivering 14–15g of protein per 130g serving. The formulation utilises a blend of free-range eggs, extra-mature Cheddar, and cottage cheese to achieve a dense, protein-rich profile. The range debuts with two distinct flavour profiles: Greek Feta and Marinated Tomato: Features a slow-roasted tomato filling and is topped with feta and marinated cherry tomatoes. Beechwood Smoked Bacon and Mature Cheddar: Utilises outdoor-bred British bacon lardons and a caramelised onion filling. By integrating "centre-filled" technology, rare in the chilled frittata category, Higgidy is looking to differentiate its offering through multi-layered texture and flavour. Bite-Sized Snacking The second new line, Scone Bites, targets the "permissible indulgence" and snackable protein markets. Each bite contains 3g of protein, designed to be consumed either chilled or heated. This versatility is a key component of the brand's "fridge-to-hand" strategy. The Scone Bites are available in two vegetarian-friendly variants: Extra Mature Cheddar and Spring Onion: Topped with a chive and Cheddar crumb and filled with cream cheese. Crushed Sweetcorn and Jalapeño: Offers a spicy profile with paprika and jalapeños, also featuring a cream cheese core. For B2B stakeholders, the launch signals a move to capture "share of stomach" in the rapidly growing functional snacking sector. While the UK savoury pastry market has historically focused on traditional pies and rolls, Higgidy is leveraging its "hand-made" brand equity to introduce more sophisticated, protein-forward formats. The use of premium, outdoor-bred bacon and free-range eggs aligns with the "clean label" and "ethical sourcing" trends that continue to drive purchasing decisions in the premium tier of the UK grocery market. Retail Distribution and Pricing Strategy Both ranges are scheduled for a nationwide rollout beginning 8 April 2026. To ensure maximum market penetration, Higgidy has secured placements with the "Big Three" UK retailers as well as the leading online grocer: Retail Partners: Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, and Tesco. E-commerce: The frittata range will have additional availability via Ocado. Price Point: The Savoury Potato Frittatas are priced at a Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of £3.25 (130g), while the Scone Bites will retail at £3.50 for a six-pack (130g). Industrial Significance As the lines between traditional meals and snacks continue to blur, Higgidy’s expansion into high-protein, egg-based formats allows it to compete in more consumption windows throughout the day. By providing a product that serves as both a high-protein post-workout snack and a quick lunch solution, the brand is positioning itself to lead the evolution of the modern savoury pastry aisle.

The feature is designed to guide drivers to specific building entrances rather than generic street addresses, addressing a critical inefficiency in the delivery, logistics, and ride-hailing sectors. Mapbox , the location data platform, has announced the public preview launch of a new doorway-level entrance data capability. The feature is designed to guide drivers to specific building entrances rather than generic street addresses, addressing a critical inefficiency in the delivery, logistics, and ride-hailing sectors. The new data layer covers more than 100 million addresses in the United States, enabling routing accuracy to within five meters or less of a specific entry point. Addressing the ‘Final Meters’ Cost Drain The launch targets the "final meters" problem—a significant source of operational waste in last-mile logistics. According to Mapbox analysis, nearly 70% of failed deliveries in the last 100 meters of a trip occur during the final 10 meters. Furthermore, citing McKinsey research, Mapbox notes that inefficient drop-off locations can account for up to 19% of logistics costs . These costs stem from: Driver dwell time (searching for entrances). Lost packages. Missed pickups and redeliveries. Increased customer support requests. Cherie Wong , SVP of Location Services at Mapbox, commented: "Instead of ending navigation with just 'you have arrived,' companies can guide drivers to the right spot—the door that actually matters." Operational Impact: Early Results dlivrd , a delivery management solution, has been utilising the technology with measurable success. Chris Heffernan , CEO at dlivrd, reported tangible efficiency gains: "Entrance data has saved our drivers time. They spend less time searching and more time setting up. Delivery times are down 7% , support questions are resolved 25% faster —and many never reach us at all." Technical Implementation for Developers The new capability is integrated directly into the Mapbox Geocoding API via a new entrances parameter. When developers convert an address into geographic coordinates, the API returns precise building entrance locations. This allows navigation apps to: Power turn-by-turn guidance that accounts for which side of a building to approach. Indicate exactly where to stop. Visualise entrance locations on the map interface to assist drivers in complex urban environments or large corporate campuses.

All Companies Close Energy Drinks Red Bull Employees founded Headquarters Fuschl am See, Austria Red Bull is the Austria-based manufacturer of the energy drink of the same name, launched by Dietrich Mateschitz in 1982. On a business trip to Thailand, Mateschitz discovered the energy drink Krating Daeng (meaning ‘red bull’) and found that it helped cure his jet lag. He partnered with Chaleo Yoovidhya, the founder of Krating Daeng, to each invest $500,000 into a new energy drink venture by the name ‘Red Bull’ that subsequently became an international brand. Yoovidhya and Mateschitz both took a 49% stake, with the remaining 2% stake going to Yoovidhya’s two sons. Today, the company is just as well known for its sponsorships and sporting involvement as it is for the energy drink: Red Bull founded the football teams RB Salzburg, RB Leipzig and New York Red Bulls; the ice hockey teams Red Bull Salzburg and Red Bull München; the Formula 1 racing teams Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso; and sponsors or lends its name to countless other sporting events.

Athletic Brewing Company has partnered with Arsenal to launch "Clock End," a limited-edition non-alcoholic red ale exclusive to the UK market and Emirates Stadium. Athletic Brewing Company, the leading dedicated non-alcoholic brewer in the United States, has announced the launch of "Clock End," a new non-alcoholic red ale produced in collaboration with Arsenal. Starting March 21, the limited-edition beverage will be available in 12 oz. cans throughout Emirates Stadium, including Club Level bars, marking a significant expansion of the brand's footprint within elite European football. The brew draws its name and inspiration from the historic Clock End at Highbury, the former home of Arsenal. By bridging the club's heritage with modern brewing innovation, the partnership aims to enhance the matchday experience for supporters seeking high-quality, alcohol-free alternatives. Product Profile and Flavour Characteristics Clock End is designed as a structured yet refreshing red ale, tailored specifically for the football environment. The brew is characterised by its amber hue and a roasted malt profile. Flavour Notes: Prominent notes of caramel and dark stone fruit with a subtle bitterness. Body: Medium-bodied and balanced to remain easy to enjoy throughout a match. Nutritional Stats: Each 12 oz. can contains 80 calories, 16g of carbohydrates, and less than 0.5% ABV. "We believe Arsenal supporters deserve a brew of their own that matches the excellence the Gunners display on the pitch," stated Bill Shufelt, Co-Founder and CEO of Athletic Brewing Company. He noted that the beer is "built for football," maintaining its refreshing quality from the first whistle to the last. Strategic Market Position and Innovation The launch of Clock End follows Athletic Brewing's successful entry into the UK market and its ongoing role as Arsenal’s Official Non-Alcoholic Beer Partner. The company has revolutionised the category through a proprietary brewing method that avoids dealcoholization, instead using hundreds of small-batch trials to re-engineer the fermentation process. This innovative approach has allowed Athletic to capture over 50% of the non-alcoholic craft beer market share in the U.S. As a top 20 U.S. brewing company overall, Athletic’s expansion into the Premier League highlights the growing global demand for premium non-alcoholic options in traditional sporting venues. Availability and Supporter Engagement While the primary launch is centred at Emirates Stadium, Clock End will also be available at select on-trade and off-trade locations across London and via online retail. To support the launch, Athletic Brewing has scheduled sampling activations for supporters at upcoming matches on March 28 and May 2, 2026. The partnership reflects a broader trend in the beverage industry toward "mindful drinking," with Athletic Brewing reporting that non-alcoholic beer sales at Emirates Stadium more than doubled during the first year of their collaboration with the club.

KBP Brands, one of the largest franchise operators in the United States, has announced a significant expansion of its SONIC Drive-In portfolio with the acquisition of 78 locations across five states. KBP Brands , one of the largest franchise operators in the United States, has announced a significant expansion of its SONIC Drive-In portfolio with the acquisition of 78 locations across five states. The transaction encompasses units in Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, boosting KBP’s total SONIC footprint to 164 locations across eight states. This rapid scaling officially positions KBP as the fourth-largest franchisee within the entire SONIC system. Notably, the acquired units were previously corporate-owned and operated by SONIC, signalling a strategic refranchising move by parent company Inspire Brands to place established stores into the hands of a proven, high-volume operator. Deepening the Inspire Brands Partnership This transaction marks KBP’s second major SONIC purchase in less than two years, having first entered the system in August 2024. The deal further cements KBP’s robust relationship with Inspire Brands, which began in 2021 when KBP added Arby's to its extensive restaurant portfolio. "We've had a successful five-year partnership with Inspire Brands and have seen strong results from our initial SONIC purchase," said Mike Kulp , CEO of KBP Brands. "We look forward to expanding that with a larger footprint and additional operational efficiencies." KBP Brands currently generates approximately $1.5 billion in annual sales . Kulp attributes the company's sustained two-decade growth trajectory to its core competencies: rapidly integrating new brands and locations, maintaining strong franchisor relationships, and executing highly data-driven operations. Operational Integration and Leadership The acquisition brings an additional 1,600 employees into the KBP organisation. Operationally, the expanded Drive-In business unit will continue to be spearheaded by Mark Everett , Executive Vice President of KBP, working in partnership with Chief Operating Officer Matt Hansen . For SONIC, offloading corporate units to a mega-franchisee like KBP ensures operational rigour while allowing the franchisor to focus on broader brand strategy and menu innovation—such as its signature beverage customisation, the Smasher burger, and its indulgent dessert categories. John Kelly , Brand President of SONIC, highlighted the strategic alignment between the two organisations: "Our relationship with KBP Brands continues to grow due to their operational excellence and our shared commitment to guest satisfaction and a culture that champions innovation. KBP's expansion with SONIC demonstrates their dedication to our vision and the brand's long-term growth."

Moving beyond its core line of ready-to-drink (RTD) seltzers, the company is launching a new multi-serve innovation: Blood Orange Vanilla Cannabis Spirit. Delta Beverages, LLC , currently ranked as the number one THC beverage brand in the U.S. by volume, has announced a significant expansion of its product portfolio. Moving beyond its core line of ready-to-drink (RTD) seltzers, the company is launching a new multi-serve innovation: Blood Orange Vanilla Cannabis Spirit . The launch signals a maturation in the hemp-derived beverage sector, as leading brands begin to target the premium "spirit alternative" category. By designing a product meant for mixology, Delta is positioning cannabis beverages to compete directly with traditional spirits for the sophisticated at-home or on-premise consumption occasion. Product Formulation and Mixology Focus The new Cannabis Spirit blends bright citrus (blood orange) with smooth vanilla profiles. Formulated from fresh-harvested flowers and infused with a curated sativa terpene profile, the product is engineered to deliver a full "entourage effect" of botanical benefits. Crucially for the adult-beverage replacement market, the liquid is designed for high versatility. It can be consumed neat, on the rocks, taken as a shot, or utilised as a base ingredient in complex mocktails. Dosing Mechanics: Fast Onset and Control A historical barrier to entry for liquid cannabis products has been unpredictable dosing and delayed effects. Delta is addressing this with specialised emulsion technology designed for rapid bioavailability. Key Product Specifications: Total Potency: 167mg of hemp-derived THC per bottle. Serving Size: 1.5oz (a standard spirit "shot" volume). Per-Serving Dose: 10mg THC and 2mg CBD. Onset Time: 10 to 20 minutes. This precise, fast-acting dosing structure allows consumers to "stack" their servings and control their experience in a manner closely mimicking traditional alcohol consumption, a key selling point for crossover consumers. Jack Sherrie , Founder and CEO of Delta Beverages, emphasised the brand's focus on material quality as it scales its innovation pipeline. "Delta has seen incredible support from our customers, and we're committed to delivering innovative, high-quality products that we know our fan-base will love," Sherrie stated. "This product reflects our brand values and our commitment to consistent, premium, clean ingredients." Market Context As the regulatory landscape for hemp-derived cannabinoids continues to evolve, market leaders like Delta Beverages are moving quickly to establish brand equity in premium formats. The introduction of a multi-serve "spirit" allows the brand to secure a higher ring at the retail register while catering to the growing demographic of "sober-curious" adults seeking functional alternatives to alcohol.

HIPPEAS® introduces Jalapeño Cheddar Blaze and All Dressed Up chickpea puffs, marking the first product expansion following the brand’s 2026 visual identity refresh. HIPPEAS® has announced the national launch of two new chickpea puff varieties: Jalapeño Cheddar Blaze and All Dressed Up. The rollout follows a comprehensive visual identity refresh designed to increase shelf visibility and align with the brand's 2026 growth objectives. Following its most profitable year in 2025, the company is utilising this refresh to transition from a "puff pioneer" to a comprehensive flavour powerhouse in the salty snack aisle. The updated branding introduces a chickpea mascot and a modified "lip-licking smile" logo, aimed at improving brand recall and making functional nutritional benefits—such as protein and fibre—more legible to the consumer. Flavour Portfolio Diversification The new additions capitalise on the rising consumer demand for bold, globally inspired profiles that do not sacrifice nutritional integrity. Jalapeño Cheddar Blaze: Engineered to deliver a heat-forward experience followed by a creamy, dairy-free cheddar finish. All Dressed Up: A plant-based interpretation of the Canadian regional favourite, blending barbecue, salt and vinegar, and sour cream and onion notes into a singular profile. These flavours join a diverse roster that includes fan favourites like Groovy White Cheddar and the Grillo's Pickles collaboration, which the company noted received an exceptionally strong consumer response upon its debut last year. Comparative Nutritional Advantages Maintaining the brand's core "better-for-you" (BFY) standards, the new puffs are formulated to compete directly with traditional extruded corn snacks while offering a superior macronutrient profile. Key Nutritional Benchmarks per Serving: Protein: 4g of plant-powered protein derived from chickpeas. Fibre: 3g of dietary fibre. Fat Content: 50% less fat than the leading traditional puffed snack. Allergen Profile: Free from the top nine allergens, gluten-free, vegan, and Non-GMO Project Verified. Market Positioning and Retail Strategy Nick Marmet, VP of Marketing at HIPPEAS®, stated that the brand refresh and subsequent flavour launches are part of a strategy to ensure that plant-based snacks never feel like a "compromise." By "dialling up the flavour," HIPPEAS® aims to capture a larger share of the mainstream snacking market while maintaining its loyal base of health-conscious consumers. The new varieties are currently rolling out nationwide across major retail channels in multiple bag sizes. This expansion serves as a foundation for further anticipated innovation in 2026, as the company looks to explore additional snack formats and supply chain optimisations.
