Today’s center store is evolving fast - driven by shifting consumer values, digital habits, and new definitions of health, convenience, and value. In this 30-minute session, we’ll explore key trends influencing shopper behavior across core grocery categories, including:

  • The rise of purpose-driven and health-conscious purchasing
  • The impact of digital discovery and omnichannel shopping
  • The balance between value-seeking and premiumization
  • Generational and cultural shifts that have an outsized impact on historic expectations of brands and retailers

Join us for actionable insights and fresh perspectives on how to keep your center store strategy aligned with what today’s consumers really want.
