Tag: week in review

Pamela and Greg discuss why Target is joining Walmart in shuttering high-crime stores, and where USA Today got it right -- and wrong -- in its recent 10Best grocers list.

Get Pamela's on-the-ground coverage from SEPC's Southern Innovation in Charlotte, and Greg has just returned from a few days at the IFPA Washington Conference, where the farm bill and produce prescriptions were hot topics.

The damage estimates from Hurricane Hilary are in, and California fruit was hit harder than originally thought. and the Kroger/Albertsons deal appears to be moving forward with a plan from C&S Wholesale Grocers to divest hundreds of stores.

Walmart's e-grocery accounts for more than all supermarkets combined? And is this watchdog group's SNAP inflation analysis correlation or causation?

Pamela and Greg discuss Hurricane Hilary's potential effects on fresh produce, a big acquisition in the foodservice business, and the FDA's new Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods.

Why Aldi buying Winn-Dixie is a major shift in strategy, where Costco is winning inflation-proof shoppers, and Big Fresh owning plant-based.

Pamela and Greg discuss the monthly inflation gaslighting from the BLS, how Americans skipping meals is a better indicator of inflation -- and is bad news for produce -- and what Greg thinks of the Netflix movie Poisoned.

Pamela and Greg talk Amazon Fresh's new approach...which is, apparently fresh donuts? And MegaCorp got a big boost from The Open.

Pamela has a satisfying resolution for the Cherry Saga -- that ties into the monthly retail produce sales report from Circana, IFPA, and 210 Analytics, and there's more news in the CEA space.
