What is it?
The most representative EPOS market read covering independent convenience retail and wholesaler-supplied symbol stores in GB

- We’ve cherry-picked a representative sample of ca. 6,500 standalone convenience stores, with a combined turnover of £5.6bn, from a pool of more than 12k stores.
- We’ve spent months identifying the ‘right’ stores, removing outliers and stores with incomplete data and balancing the sample against leading industry reports.
- The data is then factored up using an algorithm to extrapolate this sample to represent total GB independent convenience. The algorithm will continuously update to rebalance the read to ensure consistency and accuracy.
- TWC’s experienced data quality team cleanses the data to provide a consistent product hierarchy.
