Ramadan and the two Eids — Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha — are the biggest trading weeks of the year for shops serving Muslim customers. Across Nottingham and the East Midlands, that includes many Turkish, Pakistani, Arab and Balkan households, and demand for the right lines rises sharply.
NF Plus helps independent shops stock up ahead of the season, from iftar staples through to Eid gifting and sharing lines, on trade terms.
What to stock for Ramadan & Eid
- Dates — the essential line for breaking the fast
- Confectionery, Turkish delight, baklava and gifting sweets
- Snacks, nuts and dried fruit for iftar and sharing
- Soft drinks, Vimto and juices
- Tea, coffee and store-cupboard staples
Order early — demand peaks fast
The heaviest selling comes in the run-up to Ramadan and again just before each Eid. Build your stock in advance and reorder fast movers with next-working-day delivery so you never sell out mid-season across the East Midlands.
