Advocating for a state with over 39 million people, California Grocers Association works at the state level to actively engage elected officials.

Predictions for Grocery Retail in 2023 and How Retailers Can Drive Loyalty

The beards are back with Between2Beards tales from the road.

This time Sylvain Perrier and Mark Fairhurst are on the west coast and travelled out to Coquitlam, BC to visit a brand new Save-On-Foods location that recently opened September 1 2022. Come along as they check out the new grocery store design and layout, and the 16,000 sqft on site MFC that will fulfill online orders come November 2022. (Thanks to Jamie and the store staff for a great tour!)

The Digital Grocer hosts compare this store model to ones they’ve seen in the US, and how they think hybrid store and MFCs models could be the future of regional grocery.
