Consumer’s like fresh prepared readry-2-eat and heat-N-eat Grocerant food.  Thus Grocerant shoppers simply shop more frequently.  In Europe consumers tend to shop more often, almost daily. And the mix between fresh-prepared and frozen is about 20-80 (as opposed to the US, where frozen foods dominate fresh-prepared 80-20 England). The grocery retailers have adapted to this with small footprint stores like Tesco’s “Tesco Express,” Sainsbury’s “Local,” and Marks & Spencer’s “Simply Food.” Now fourth-place retailer Morrison’s is putting its hopes on M-Local.

Why?  Consumers want Fresh.  Small footprint only 3,000 SF.  Now look at the offerings fresh food.  This is better for you grocerant shopping.  Are you ready for an tour?  Contact Foodservice Solutions.
