Entries are now open for The Convenience Awards 2027!
Taking place on 3 March 2027 at the Rum Warehouse at The Titanic Hotel in Liverpool, the ceremony is one of the highlights of the industry calendar, and sees the entire convenience community gather under one roof for a night of networking, celebration and recognition.
Powered by Convenience Store, Lumina Intelligence and The Grocer, these awards celebrate the entire convenience community - from stores with the self-entry categories to head offices with categories powered by Lumina Intelligence insight.
Convenience Store editor Aidan Fortune urged retailers to enter their stores. “Judging the Convenience Awards is a highlight of my role and it’s exciting to see the innovation, passion and hard work in action at stores throughout the country.
“Celebrate your stores and your businesses by entering this year’s awards and highlighting the amazing work you’re doing. With so many categories to enter, there’s one that will suit your store.”
Returning for 2027 is the Responsible Retailer of the Year category which recognises and rewards retailers that go above and beyond in the field of age-related sales and community outreach. This year also marks the return of the Store Team of the Year category that was introduced in 2026 and won by Spar Parkfoot in Kent.
The Retailers’ Retailer of the Year Award and the top prize in the sector, Convenience Retailer of the Year, are also up for grabs, as well as research categories carried out by Lumina Intelligence insights.
Deadline for entries is 13 October 2026.
