Small Stores Attracting Big Attention

Statistics published in Supermarket News today reveal that consumer interest in small, convenient food stores specializing in fresh, prepared foods is on the rise. 64% of shoppers surveyed by TNS retail, reported that they would definitely or probably shop at a small format store. These stores are usually located in neigborhoods with convenient parking options and easy access.

If the success of Fresh & Easy in Vegas is any indication, odds are there will be more to choose from in the near future. In fact, companies like Safeway and Wal-Mart are talking about creating similar concepts. Imagine that, a country full of small neighborhood stores with fresh foods--they're so out they're in AGAIN!
