Upending the Apple Cart
We can either let others upset our apple carts on their terms, or we can work with our supplier partners to upend our own apple carts in order to see things in new ways, making the needed adjustments to create the more agile marketplace our shoppers want. The 2019 FMI Midwinter Executive Conference provides content that can help you determine which of your carts need to be upended.
Hurricane Florence: What’s the Status of Your Stores?
We need your support to ensure our supply chain can respond and stabilize. As soon as physically possible, please contact FMI via our crisis resources page to alert us on the status of your stores. With this basic information, we can work together to speed up the government’s response time to get food, water and other commodities to communities in need.
Failing to Prepare Equals Preparing to Fail
Preparation is key for a place of business to understand what to do when you don’t know what to do. With frequent training, development of awareness and by forging a relationship with your local police or sheriff office we can minimize the negative impact of an active shooter situation.
Retailers Stay Within the Circle of Trust with Food Safety
Year after year, FMI’s U.S. Grocery Shopper Trends Report shows consumers consistently trust their grocery store when it comes to food safety. This year, 93 percent of shoppers trust their grocery store to ensure the food they purchase is safe. No matter what consumers priorities are or what the latest trend is in food, food safety is at the heart of the grocery industry to maintain shopper trust. Whether it’s providing information about a product, food safety or preparation tips - retailers continue to be a trusted source of information.
Hurricane Preparedness and Response Resources
Hurricane and storm season is upon us and the first potential major storm of the years, Florence, is threatening the Eastern coast of the United States. To help our members prepare their stores, associates, supply chains and communities we’ve put together resources specific to this storm that are available through our state affairs resources.
