This
Valentine’s Day we witnessed the undercurrents of food customer migration reach
new heights. Non-traditional fresh
prepared food retailers around the world are offering consumers a choice to
Dine-In while Dining-Out. They are promoting restaurant quality chef prepared
Ready-2-Eat Meals at a fraction of the price customers would pay if dining at a
restaurant. The successful growth of the
grocerant niche is now ratcheting-up competitive offerings challenging the very
core of the restaurant customer mindset. .
Roses are red, violets are blue
staying at home can be very cozy for two. Wegmans offered a “Romantic Dinner
for Two” either Pan-Seared Strip Steaks or roasted lobster tails with Shallot-Thyme
Butter that can be cozy for two it’s a Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared meal offering.
Wegmans offers restaurant quality

Texas
based Pinkie’s Liquor Stores are in the restaurant quality chef prepared
Dine-In while Dinning-Out fresh prepared Ready-2-Eat mode as well. Pinkie’s is offering a fully cooked Prime Rib

We found these other offering from around the globe:
“Marks

main course, side dish and desert for two, plus chocolate box and a bottle of

In Minnesota next
year you will be able to Dine-In at Lunds and Byerly’s Grocer which is evolving into Lunds and Byerly’s
Kitchen. There will be a 143-seat restaurant with wine and
beer bar that will “offer stone oven pizzas, burgers and seasonal surf and turf
entrees.” Customers will “order and pay for meals with iPads found at each
table. There will also be a patio and 24-seat cafe.” While dining customers can order grocery from
the iPads and pick it up when done. If
success does leave clues the Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared food
niche just may be a very competitive clue.
