Global nature

And remember, the global nature of the ‘Best Foodvenience Store in the World’ means it’s held entirely online. No entry fees, no travel costs —just choose your top Foodvenience store and enter!

Entry profiles

Each entry will have it’s own dedicated profile page, complete with text, photos, and site video. Entry profiles go live on 29 September 2026 here on Global Convenience.

2026 timeline

Our global panel of judges will then independently review the entries, their aggregated scores, will result in our 2026 shortlist, which will be announced on October 15.

Following the announcement, online voting will open, allowing the international industry to cast their votes for their favourite site until November 5.

The winner will then be announced on November 12 2026 online here at GlobalConvenience.com, on our LinkedIn channel and live at The Retail Marketeers Convenience Leaders Exchange in Hamburg!

Our evaluation process seeks and combines a wide range of views to determine the winner. This makes the overall judging process robust, independent, fair and representative of the global industry.
