The finalists for the Convenience Awards 2026 have been revealed.
With the ceremony due to take place at the Rum Warehouse at Titanic Hotel, Liverpool on 11 March, this is one of the highlights of the industry calendar and celebrates the entire convenience community.
Commenting on the finalists, Convenience Store editor Aidan Fortune said: “This has been a tremendous year for entries and the judging panel had to work hard to whittle them down to finalists. It’s particularly heartening to see our new category, Store Team of the Year, gain so much interest from retailers. They rightly want to celebrate their hard-working staff in stores, and we look forward to announcing the winners in Liverpool in March!”
