Usually I take meat for the BBQ. This one I'm going to doesn't have a BBQ.
What I'm after is something I can pick up from the supermarket, that needs zero preperation.
Eg. buy it and you are good to go.
Its for a lunch and would like it to be popular. Any Ideas?
prepared, store purchased foods usually are not all that memorable. I would go to a gourmet type of store, like suggested, maybe Fresh Market or whatever you have and pick up some really good dips, like trader Joes popular blue cheese/pecan spread and get some out of this world crackers. Another sure hit, a really, really, good dessert. Again, you will need to go to the bakery for something that will make an impression. I am not one for purchasing ready made salads, they can be ok, but not meaningful. Most of them are just so/so.
Chips / dip
Antipasti
Chocolate cake
Ice cream
Pie
Cookies
Salad premade
Cut up fruit
Grapes/ cherries.. Just wash and put in nice bowls
Soda
Veggie platter/ fruit platter
Crackers /cheese. Premade
plumrose, lloyd's, sweetbaby rays, all have cooked baby back ribs in bbq sauce...(yes, i know they arent as great as you can cook yourself)
but they are tasty, quick, and convenient
they also have tubs of pre-cooked pulled pork,, pulled beef and chicken.

Meat for barbecue - is having proper. But, try for a variety of SHASHLYK. (I can teach)Take hold of tomato sauce (better to cook), fruits, fresh vegetables such as lettuce. Tomatoes and cucumbers, peppers balgarsky.
Grab and go? The other day, I had a delicious dip, it was spicy deli salsa, poured over a block of cream cheese. I also love olives, you could get some olives, salami, cheese...crackers.
