When Dollar
General began to expand its format to include fresh food Steven Johnson,
Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions® stated
‘traditional grocery stores have never faced a more formidable competitor.
Now Dollar
General is expanding its remodeling to include more stores that will include
extra refrigerated space and a fresh produce section and step up its
“Better-For-You” initiative to offer customers healthier consumables,
Consider
this as well for fiscal 2019, Dollar General is looking to open 975 new stores,
remodel 1,000 mature stores and relocate 100 stores. Now of the 1,000 planned
remodels, about 500 will be conversions to the DGTP format and about 200 will
add produce according to the company report..
Currently
approximately 2,700 Dollar General stores now carry Better-for-You products. Over the last four-week period of the third
quarter Dollar General reported that “half of our top 10 unit movers within
Better-for-You were Good & Smart-branded items,”
So, grocerant
niche Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat food is rapidly finding its way on the shelves
of the dollar store sector. How will you
differentiate? Are you ready to have a
Grocerant ScoreCard completed?
