Between2Beards: On the Road at Groceryshop and NGA 2021

Celebrating 125 years of service to grocery retailers, California Grocers Association is recognised as a leading resource in government and industry relations for grocery retail. Grocery stores are a huge part of our communities and can easily be impacted by legislative changes every year.

In the latest episode of Digital Grocer, hosts Sylvain Perrier and Mark Fairhurst are joined by Doug Scholz, Senior Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer at California Grocers Association. Advocating for a state with over 39 million people, California Grocers Association works at the state level to actively engage elected officials. Our trio discusses the scope of new laws impacting grocery retail every year and how California Grocers Association is at the forefront of taking action to support grocery businesses, especially smaller retailers who are unlikely to have their voices heard by state legislators.

Tune in to the full episode now! And don’t miss Sylvain and Mark in Palm Springs for the California Grocers Association Strategic Conference from September 24-26, 2023.

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.
