For a long time, it looked like grocers would be spared from the massive disruption that began affecting the retail industry with the onslaught of mobility and social media. After all, grocery is that last bastion of physical retail where consumers regularly agree to become glorified warehouse clerks, filling their ever-larger shopping carts with that week’s fuel for survival. That all changed last year, with Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods Market.
While a lot of changes are behind the scenes and invisible to the in-store experience, we’re beginning to see a number of themes that largely involves the mobile device becoming the consumer’s “advocate in the aisles.” At our upcoming Tech Trends in Retail event (our tenth), we’ll explore how personalization for diet, wellness, experiential cooking, and things like supply chain transparency are beginning to be deployed at scale. We’ll learn about the vital adaptation today’s grocers will have to embrace in order to remain relevant in the 21st century. Grocery shopping has never been so interesting!
