More than three years after the start of the global pandemic, American consumers remain laser-focused on staying healthy, and retailers have been more than happy to oblige with expanding assortments.
Mary Ellen Lynch, principal at Circana, kicked off the recent Store Brands Industry Forum on Consumer Trends with a keynote presentation detailing private label's recent growth.
The grocer honored a dozen store owners in several categories including year-over-year customer count growth, year-over-year sales growth, and store managers of the year.
The new divisions expand opportunities for suppliers and service providers to engage grocery, convenience, retail information systems, consumer goods technology and store brands professionals.
