Jaya
Grocer’s introduced “grocerant” first at its Empire Shopping Gallery outlet – a
one-stop shopping and dining experience within a supermarket. Shoppers can walk
in, choose their choices of meat or seafood from the butchery or seafood
counters, head to the El Fresco cashier to pay for it and specify their choice
of how they want it cooked.
Australia:
In Australia a new :survey by Lonergan of 4000 Australians found that 59% of Australian children eat a
different evening meal than the rest of the family. There are universal
commonalities around the globe that point out why the grocerant niche filled with
ready-2-eat and heat-N-eat fresh prepared food is booming. Without doubt families still want to eat
together but they simply do not want to eat the same thing in today’s world.
The Grocerant Niche is not a fad it is a trend that has been expanding rapidly
since 1997.
United States:
In the United States a new study by The NPD Group found that in the three
years between 2009 and 2012 NPD reported that the grocery/supermarket sector
increased sales of prepared meals by 46 Million. That occurred in a short three
year period. Chain Drug stores have
taken notice and continue testing, fresh prepared food at locations from coast
to coast and are expanding fresh food offerings. How many fresh meals will be
service before the restaurant sector takes notice?
Puerto
Rico:
In a recent study conducted by
Foodservice Solutions® on grocery Prepared Food in Puerto Rico found customer
counts in the prepared food service “deli” area exceed 60 customers per hour regularly
for both lunch and breakfast day-part. Ralph’s, Pueblo, SuperMax all sell consistent quality Fresh
Prepared Food and lots of it in Puerto Rico.

done for the past 20 years, well you can’t!

Burger Chefs around. Have you called
