Ritter Sport, the square chocolate brand, has secured national listings with Booker, one of the UK’s leading wholesale retailers. The move significantly strengthens the brand’s footprint in the UK convenience channel, following successful launches in Tesco Express and Sainsbury’s Local earlier this year.
Booker Wholesale depots will stock the brand’s distinctive Rum, Raisins and Hazelnuts flavour, as well as the popular Pistachio block, while Booker’s retail partners, which include Londis and Budgens, will offer both products alongside Marzipan.
Ahleam Safdar, Senior Business Manager at Ritter Sport, commented: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Booker to bring Ritter Sport to even more UK shoppers. This marks an important step forward in our expansion within the convenience channel, which plays a crucial role in driving snacking and impulse purchasing.”
The listing reflects increasing demand for high-quality chocolate within the impulse-driven convenience sector. Ritter Sport’s bold flavours and commitment to premium ingredients have delivered strong results across multiple channels, establishing the brand as a must-stock choice.
The chocolate category has grown by 7.6% in the past 52 weeks and is now valued at nearly £270m (Nielsen ScanTrack, 52 w/e 06.09.25), underlining the strong opportunity for retailers to drive incremental sales with trusted, differentiated brands like Ritter Sport.
