Specialty Food Stores in New York

The Specialty Food Stores industry in New York sells specialty and premium food products, which include a variety of baked goods, candy and chocolates, nuts and snacks, artisanal cheese and yogurt, packaged coffee and tea and dozens of gourmet foods. Over the past five years, the industry has grown steadily as rising disposable income levels and higher consumer spending have driven overall economic recovery. In the coming years, the industry is expected to continue expanding steadily as economic conditions improve and a greater share of Americans develop a taste for specialty, premium or all-natural foods. Competition, however, will continue to hinder industry operations as consumers do the bulk of their shopping in grocery and wholesale stores.
