Tracks: Strategies for Competing

While perimeter departments have expanded to meet increased demand for fresh foods, center store is still the heart and soul of the store.  To maintain strong sales in those departments, retailers need to be committed to providing a positive experience for their shoppers.  We’ll review the importance of assessing and responding to product and flavor trends by partnering with suppliers to get new products to shelf more quickly.  And we’ll examine the importance of rethinking store layouts to create ‘store within a store’ destinations and setting product adjacencies that make sense for all types of shopping trips.
