What’s the difference between Whole Foods and Royal Farms? Not as many brands are fighting to get into Royal Farms. (And that may not be a good thing.) I got to walk into this Douglasville store before completion, but wanted to see it up and running. This large format location comes to 5,300 sqft. (Whole Foods small formats start at 7,000 sqft.) Admittedly, it’s hard to do it justice in one pic. For the record, this location boasts: -Made to order hot and cold foods. -An expanded pantry aisle. -2 sit down eating areas. -Better for You snacks. -Wider beer selection. -A fresh fruit bin. -Full wine islet. Definitely more than your casual snack shop. Would this work for every brand or product type? Absolutely not. But it is representative of how grocery is changing. It is representative of how consumer habits are changing. We would be wise to pay attention. ——— 🔹 We grow brands on Amazon. 🔹 We increase velocity in Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Kroger, Sam's, COSTCO, and lots of other cool retailers. #cpg #cpggrowth #retailgrowth #retailvelocity #omnichannel #retail #amazonagency #retailmedia #shoppermarketing #instacart #royalfarms

As grocery shopping habits continue to evolve, one thing is clear: consumers don’t just want a product—they want a brand they love. 🌟 @Bain & Company’s latest report shows that “grocery private labels” like H-E-B, Costco Wholesale’s Kirkland Signature, and Trader Joe's are top of mind for shoppers. As we head into a season where 80% of consumers are looking to trim their budgets, these fan-favorite brands are especially appealing. Why? Because they offer better value without compromising on quality. Trader Joe’s has extremely loyal fans. Are there any other “grocery store brands” that speak to consumers?

How do you disrupt shoppers cruising the aisles on autopilot? 🤔🛒 Most head into the store with a mission—grab what they need and go.  But with 82% of purchase decisions being made in-store, there's a huge opportunity for brands to interrupt and capture their attention and convert. We helped KP Snacks seize that moment. By creating the first-ever permanent branded bays for Tyrrells, Butterkist, and KP Nuts in the crisps, nuts, and snacks aisle, we transformed 696 bays across 355 Sainsbury's stores into bold, attention-grabbing displays which invited shoppers to pause, explore, and ultimately make a purchase. From concept to installation, we ensured that these beloved brands owned their space, driving visibility and engagement in one of the busiest grocery aisles. #RetailMarketing #RetailDisplay #ShopperMarketing #Branding #InstoreMarketing

https://lnkd.in/e9NSq2mm? Walmart is introducing a new Kirkland-esque premium brand. Part of what they're doing is trying to slow the pace at which customers trade up, by giving them a chance to trade up in the store instead of by switching some of their shopping to Whole Foods or Costco. It's also a way to better-segment their offerings: they have a cheaper house brand ("Great Value") and a premium one ("Sam's Choice") but they haven't made the latter look sufficiently different. Sometimes changing the name, refreshing the packaging, and hiking the price is what it takes to tell a slightly richer customer cohort that they're still in the right place.

Walmarts grocery performance is an indicator of what? Its what happens when you have a "merchant led company" vs. the "company trying to lead the merchant".... Targets two year comp stack -4.6% Walmarts two year comp stack +10.4% Difference.....15% Guess which company has a merchant led organization? Pretty simple strategy don't you think?
