Best Reading of the Day - Entry 0139 Grocery Mobile

A very good read today comes to us from Canadian Grocer.  While this is less applicable to those of us in the United States it still tells a good story about the transformation being seen in retail and now grocery supermarkets.

Here is a snippet from the piece:

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, ALMOST NO grocery chain in Canada had an app. But now apps are fast becoming must-haves as big grocers try to personalize the shopping experience in a mobile world.

There’s good reason chains are turning to apps. Shoppers are virtually living on their phones, says Ron Welke, associate vice-president of food at Federated Co-operatives in Saskatoon.

Happy Reading,
