Alternately, if they have started serving the items you want, thank them and be sure to follow up by giving them some business. Local support and feedback are key.

How Do Concession Companies Work?

Concession companies re-assess their menu and renew their foodservice contracts on an annual basis. That's why it's particularly effective to contact baseball parks and concession managers between January and early March, while they're in the process of considering new items for the next season. The same rule would apply to other sports venues during the "off season" or at the start of the season. New items are also introduced during the season, but may be more difficult due to existing contractual stipulations with certain meat item sponsors stating that "competing products" not be allowed. (Veggie dogs are sometimes considered in this category by the regular hot dog providers.)

Most concession companies use super distributors, which provide them with a list of food options. If your favorite food item is not available, it might be due to the concession company limiting their menu options to their distributors' product list.

While some veggie brands may not be among the assigned distributor's list of foodservice menu options, a direct arrangement might easily be made between the veggie company and the venue through other wholesale distributors, direct shipments....or as a special request through that distributor. This has been negotiated in several arenas already.

Please review our page on Taking Action for more information on the best way to make suggestions to local vendors!
