Top 5 Concession Stand Snacks That Keep Fans Coming Back

Game day isn’t just about the score — it’s about the experience. And nothing fuels fans, parents, and players quite like the right snacks. Whether you’re running a little league concession stand, a swim team fundraiser, or a township event, your menu can make or break sales.

At Somerset Foods, we help concession stands across New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut stock the snacks that sell. Here are the top five items that never disappoint.

1. Popcorn Buckets

Light, affordable, and loved by all ages — popcorn is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. It’s quick to prep, easy to portion, and smells so good it practically sells itself.

2. Soft Pretzels

Warm, salty, and perfectly shareable. Pretzels are a game-day tradition, and when paired with cheese or mustard, they fly off the counter.

3. Bottled Drinks & Sports Beverages

Nothing drives profit margins like drinks. From ice-cold Coca-Cola to sports drinks that keep athletes hydrated, beverages are a must-have.

4. Candy Favorites

Sweet treats like Skittles, M&M’s, or Sour Patch Kids deliver impulse buys and high margins. Keep them visible at the counter for maximum sales.

5. Nachos with Cheese

Simple, filling, and a consistent seller. Nachos are easy to prep and hard to resist — especially when the cheese is hot and ready.

Why These Snacks Work

Each of these options checks the boxes concession stands care about most:

• Easy to serve quickly

• High margins

• Kid- and parent-approved

• Minimal prep and cleanup

  
  

When your menu is built on proven sellers, you keep lines moving and profits climbing.
