As consumers are spending less on discretionary items and more on essentials, experts note that mass merchandisers are capitalizing on value, variety and services.

As today’s consumers look to maximize their dollars on nutritious food and beverages, experts highlight how natural and organic retailers can capitalize on health and wellness trends.

DoorDash, San Franciso, and ALDI, Batavia, Ill., expanded their partnership, announcing that consumers can now order on-demand alcohol delivery from more than 1,200 ALDI locations across 21 states on DoorDash. With the addition of ALDI, nearly 80% of DoorDash consumers now can access alcohol through safe, age-verified delivery.

Gopuff, Philadelphia, and Juvee, an energy drink created by Sam Keene and Matt “Nadeshot” Haag, founder of 100 Thieves, a premier gaming organization and lifestyle brand, announced the launch of their co-branded flavor, Peachy Mangopuff. 

Although convenience stores are facing challenges such as a decrease in commuting replaced by work from home, labor shortages and inflation, experts note that in-store sales are playing a key role in the channel’s growth.

Consumers’ quest for value as inflation and other factors are impacting grocery bills has helped club stores become an attractive solution for shopping needs.

Within the foodservice channel operators have handled the pressures of inflated food and real estate costs, as well as face labor issues within the industry.
