As 21st century consumers try to balance everything from work to play, modern snack bars are helping to satisfy those consistently on-the-go with a variety of options. Whether it's at the beach or in the city, snack bars are an engrained aspect of our culture that satisfy a need for consistent refreshment in the form of food or drink.
Brands have taken many different cues from modern snack bars and could arguably be the influence for the pop-up shop, which has come to be a retail staple. As we continue to move forward in the new millennium, modern snack bars are evolving to offer a more personable experience with exotic offerings, striking design and a true attention to customer service.
