RDBA WEBINAR: Rethinking Center Store: A Sea of Opportunity

This webinar was on April 19, 2017

It’s no secret that consumers are adopting a back-to-basics mindset, choosing more fresh, simple and healthy foods often found in the perimeter. But with center store contributing over 60% of retailers’ revenue and boasting foods packed with nutrients, it’s a critical component of the store. Join Jordan Rost, Nielsen, and Laura Ali, StarKist, to learn key trends impacting the store and shoppers, and learn how shelf stable seafood is a center store star with its many health benefits. We’ll also focus on how Retail RDs can act on these trends to build up the shopping cart with nourishing foods from across the store through cross promotion and simple recipe solutions.
