Fastest growing retailers (class discussions)
During our class discussion we talked about some of the fastest growing retailers and some of the most successful retailers in the market I noticed that some of the most successful retailers were grocery and food retailers. One specific company that caught my attention was Walgreen in Chicago a dual level fresh food facility. Like some of the other companies we talked about like whole foods and trader Joe's i noticed that fresh food is a hot topic in the marketplace. I'm noticing a trend to how consumers are viewing the food products at grocery stores, super centers, markets and even fast food. When asked which one was the best out of McDonald, Wendy's, and Chick-fil-a the class almost unanimously agreed that Chick fil a was the best because of the quality of food. Whole foods is also one of the fastest growing food retailers which is primarily based on fresh and organic foods it let me know that things are changing rapidly on what society accepts as food. There are a couple films that i believe have shifted the demand for higher quality food products.
