What’s in store for grocery?
Growth and agility.
Notice how grocery retailers are investing in:
🍎 Boosting the top line with retail media and loyalty builders like private labels*
🍊 Driving efficiencies with technologies that streamline processes and save shoppers time
🍋 Improving agility by responding to threats like theft and opportunities like store expansion
[* Hope Walmart’s bettergoods line, which launched today, will be available in Canada.]
