When the
customer is on the move retailers must move with them or risk losing the
customer altogether according to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA
based Foodservice Solutions®. Grocery stores are not different when consumers
are on the move grocery stores must evolve with them or simply fad away
according to Johnson.
The new
retail ‘C-store’ is called Tom Thumb
Express and will occupy about 2,500 square feet of space. It will operate
from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. with self-service at six fuel pumps available
24 hours a day as reported by the Dallas News.
In a bit
of a twist from what other retailers are ding the Tom Thumb Express In-store
offerings will include fresh food from an already operating Tom Thumb
supermarket, such as sandwiches, cut fruit, salads and hot food to take home.
Beverage options include coffee, f'real milkshakes and smoothies, and ICEE
drinks.
Grocery store trying the ‘Hub and
Spoke’ format is nothing new but in this case in the Dallas marketplace the
timing might be right for this format according to Johnson. Are you looking for
a new partnership to drive sales?
