Name
Rebuilding the Store for the Wellness Shopper
Description
As shoppers place greater emphasis on protein, hydration, functional nutrition and fresh foods, traditional category boundaries are becoming less relevant. Retailers and brands will discuss how store layouts, assortment, merchandising, shelf placement, cross-category adjacencies and shopper education are evolving to make healthier choices easier to discover and purchase. From the perimeter to center store, the session will explore what the wellness-focused store of the future looks like.
