Tag: week in review

It's the season of surveys right now, and we're talking self checkout, online grocery, and shoppers dropping loyalty in search of deals.

We're talking Hurricane Helene and potential crop impacts, Bananageddon and the looming port strike, convenience store fresh food trends, and how Pamela and Greg differ on their Aldi preferences.

Pamela noticed a trend this week in news releases: more investment, expansion, and innovation announcements than usual.

We're talking football, avocados, Aldi's massive workforce push, BC Tree Fruit's auction, and wrapping it up with...tennis?

Salad sales slump, Albertsons threatens layoffs if Kroger merger isn't approved, and mom was right - we DO have food at home.

Cucumbers are trending, Kroger is fighting back, and Loblaws is launching a new concept that has even fewer frills than No Frills, if that's possible.

Would a grocer really surge prices during peak hours? And what makes a good TikTok and business crossover?

Pamela's on vacation this week but that doesn't mean the news stops. GrubMarket acquired again, Buca di Beppo filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and Walmart's online grocery dominance continues.

Kroger's got a new label, Field & Vine, exclusively for USA-grown produce. Will it expand beyond berries?

Greg calls in from The Foodservice Conference in Monterey, but we're still talking As the Kroger Turns here at The Produce Reporter Headquarters.
