A number of trends are putting pressure on food retailers of all stripes, from supermarkets whose bread and butter is groceries to supercenters, drugstores, and convenience stores for which food is a smaller but still crucial part of the product mix, including:

Packaged Facts research director David Sprinkle will speak on the various other important trends specific to food and beverage sales at convenience stores. Mr. Sprinkle’s presentation will be on Friday, February 23 at Convenience Retailing University in Glendale, Arizona.  The Convenience Retailing University event is intended to provide a superior learning environment for category managers, their teams and their supplier partners to gather insights and harness solutions.

As part of the presentation, Mr. Sprinkle will discuss the best practices for effectively integrating new food items while maintaining a focus on top-selling core options.
