While less traditional retailers enjoy more grocery traffic and shopper loyalty, FMI trends data note that 8% of shoppers still claim to have “no primary store.”
Food Marketing Institute (FMI), Arlington, Va., released its U.S. Grocery Shopper Trends 2017 analysis, which reveals shopper demand for dimensions of transparency along the supply chain challenged by an evolving marketplace.
The research signaled that U.S. grocery shoppers want more than just information; they desire transparency that engages them, offering assurances of food safety, the pursuit of health and wellness, the appetite for discovery and a closer connection to food.
