4 Stats on Today’s Grocery Shopper

From a consumer point of view, the allure of convenience stores is boldly upfront in their name: convenience. Convenience stores have a tremendous opportunity in 2020. In this new era of social distancing and safe touches, consumers are looking for ways to minimize contact while keeping their refrigerators stocked at the same time. With more demand for foods such as eggs, milk, butter, and fresh fruit, new product requests are coming in that haven’t been considered in the past. To keep up with these demands convenience stores need to get creative on how to increase shopping efficiencies and keep shelves and freezers organized.
