Competition.
According to Mintel, energy bars do not experience a huge difference
in age group usage. It's a little higher among younger adults, but
even up through the Baby Boomers group has a pretty healthy rate of
consumption, though it generally drops off after age 65,
Competition in the bar category is increasing with the bigger
manufacturers including Pepsi Co., Nestle, Unilever, Kraft, Kellogg
and General Mills.
In January 2004, Mars Inc launched the Snickers Marathon bar and
low-carb and protein-plus varieties. Their target market is active
people aged 18 to 45. They aim to be the number one advertised brand
during the products launch with 1.2 billion media impressions.
Clif Bar is continuously developing new varieties of its Clif Bar
brand. Its latest offering is Clif Builder?s ? protein bar.
PowerBar is expanding its brand to cater to carb-counting consumer
with its Carb Select line divided into sub segments. ProteinPlus Carb
Select targets men and Pria Carb Select targets women.
Part of the growth of these bars can be attributed to the big and
growing demand for convenience.

"The primary difference between [ESPN] Zone and Fox Sports Grill is
the focus on the local market," Freeman said. "We believe that sports
are viewed in a local market, and the affinity of fans is pretty much
local. We are catering to the local market, as compared to Zone, which
is really more focused on the tourist market."

This article explains how Fox Sports Grill aims to compete in the
sports bar sector. Bill Freeman distinguished their brand from other
contenders, stating that "we are creating a new category of
sports-restaurant-bar by having a high-energy destination restaurant

According to Bill Freeman "we are creating a new category of
