What is the Multi-Niche Innovation trend?
Multi-Niche Innovation: Barbecues not only cater to our need for food, but are reflective of leisure and the luxury to take time for relaxation. Generally, barbecuing is also a social method of cooking. Cooking on a BBQ instead of eating out saves money, fuels our desire to socialize, and lets us commune with nature.
