Strategies & Solutions

Research from the Specialty Food Association reveals consumers are willing to visit additional retailers to find the products they want.

Despite a drop in revenue in Q1, the home specialty retailer reports fiscal improvements with its own brand products seeing growth at the company's flagship nameplate.

The new initiative is designed to bring retail technology solutions to the company's network of more than 30,000 retail customer locations and approximately 11,000 brand partners.

The retailer cited bumps in store traffic and membership as key drivers of growth.

The 150,000-square-foot location in Illinois is stocked with a variety of home products.

The agreement gives shoppers the ability to purchase products online and have them delivered home the same day.

A key component of the partnership will be strategic R&D to build the next-generation grocery shopping experience for consumers.

The new locations give the grocer an expanded presence in Arkansas, Nebraska, and Michigan.
