Best Reading of the Day - Entry 0166 Future for Supermarkets

Great little entry on SupermarketNews.com:

http://supermarketnews.com/blog/supermarkets-are-dead-long-live-supermarkets

Here is a snippet from that piece:

The old British phrase after a monarch dies is, “The King is Dead, Long Live the King.” It’s meant to emphasize continuity.

The same can be said here. Old supermarket operating models (and some operators) may die, but the best players are already embracing new directions that will evolve and sustain supermarkets as a retail segment.


I completely agree with his assessment.  The changing landscape will force change on the part of the retailer and will not be friendly to those who refuse it, but the future looks bright for those willing to tackle the challenges of today.

Happy Reading,

J.W. Gant
