Industry Report 2022 Deep Dive:
Tobacco
Bonus data and insights into the cigarettes and OTP categories at convenience stores.
Instead of location, location, location, the tobacco category is all about legislation, legislation, legislation. With a federal flavor ban looming for all cigars and the proposed removal of menthol from cigarettes, retailers and manufacturers are certainly facing some challenges on the backbar. But in the good news department, cigarettes remain the No. 1 product category at convenience stores in terms of sales per store, and other tobacco products (OTP) rank No. 4. In this special “Deep Dive” report,
a bonus supplement to the Convenience Store News 2022 Industry Report, we present exclusive
data and analysis of the cigarettes and OTP categories.
