Getting on shelf requires systematic planning and execution, figuring out how to move the product off the shelf into shopping baskets is pure wizardry. Yes, Matt Levine is a wizard 🧙♂️and Chlorophyll Water is flying into baskets! Go get some and see what the magic 🪄 is all about.

This requires comprehensive understanding #customers, which requires #ownership of customer #data. Every single brand interaction is a learning opportunity for retailers, especially interactions through digital touchpoints. Own your data, own your future. #Grocery #Wynshop #futureproof #digitalgrocery #egrocery #data #ecommerce

Food policy is PLANNING. Food policy is COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. Food policy is ECONOMIC MOBILITY. Food policy is more important than farmers markets, pop ups, and grocery alternatives. Please understand this what I mean when I say the Sunny South Dallas Food Park is MORE THAN A FOOD PARK.

As of recent years, Greggs has maintained its position as one of the leading bakery chains in the UK, if not the number one. Its extensive network of over 2,000 locations and its significant market share in the quick-service food sector contribute to this standing. ### Factors Supporting Greggs' Leading Position: 1. **Market Reach**: Greggs' widespread presence across the UK makes it highly accessible to customers, contributing to its dominance in the bakery market. 2. **Product Innovation**: The introduction of popular items such as the vegan sausage roll has kept Greggs relevant and appealing to a broad audience. 3. **Sales Performance**: Consistent sales growth, driven by a combination of new store openings, refurbishments, and product range expansion, underscores its strong market position. 4. **Brand Loyalty**: Greggs enjoys a loyal customer base due to its reputation for affordability, quality, and convenience.

Some great stats here!

We're now in all PCC Community Markets in the Puget Sound region! Having grown up with PCC and knowing that was my target customer, it was my ultimate goal for the PNW region for Queen of Hearts Superfoods. I didn't realize how true that would be. People in grocery often say it's "easy to get on shelves", but with PCC that was not the case, and now I understand why, and respect their slow and thoughtful approach. We are one of a small handful of brands that get to share shelf space in what is typically a very busy category - shelf-stable salad dressings. But PCC carries a limited number of quality brands in the space. It was when I started doing demos at their 16 stores last week, when I received affirmation all the work was paying off. Customers would come up and congratulate me like no other demo I've done. Tasters would leave with multiple bottles. Some would come up and grab a bottle without even sampling, stating "You're in PCC, you HAVE to be good." I almost cried. That kind of trust in a store and connection to store values is PRICELESS. I'm running around Seattle doing a PCC Tasting Tour this weekend at Ballard, both Greenlake stores, and Viewridge - come try our dressing with our Sassy Quinoa Salad. Or just come say hello! It's been awesome visiting my old hood and chatting it up with customers who care about what goes in and behind their food! #realfood #nojunk #foodasmedicine #salad #foodentrepreneur #femalefounder #foodandbeverage #cpgbrands #pccmarkets
