Is the number of milkman significantly lower than before? 🤔 It appears so, as the services have changed dramatically over the years. This could be attributed to the rise of supermarkets and convenience stores, making it easier for people to buy their dairy products without having to rely on a milkman. This has resulted in a decline in the number of milkman, making it a rare sight. #MilkManDecline #ChangingServices #MilkmanGone

Food Distributors. "Trucks go vrroom" is a critical component of our food system. The Last Mile Delivery (LMD) is a component of distribution that we take for granted given that it take up over half the costs of delivery (https://lnkd.in/eTCvdnij) and costs are going up year over year. My dataset shows 153 distributors in Canada with a variety of responsibilities. The largest segment is farmers that do their own distribution. That said, a growing trend is brands that sell retail online and wholesale to a retailer through their own distribution network. The smallest segment being small businesses that do small truck delivery over a wide area that typically do fresh produce to high value markets. There's a major push for local food shed development across every province in Canada that I can see. However, this will in turn likely make costs rise although quality should improve. Where do you see the future of distribution of food going? What do you see as major changes happening right now in the industry?

Thank you Mike & the team at Balls Foods "As a grocer, I have always been committed to providing our customers with the finest products and shopping experience. Our industry faces numerous challenges. As all retailers know, along with rising credit card costs, utility costs are getting out of control and difficult to forecast. Aware of all the challenges of running a large supermarket company, we partnered with FridgeWize to tackle these utility costs. It was one of the most beneficial decisions we've ever made. FridgeWize innovative energy-saving solutions have completely transformed how our supermarkets consume energy. One of our most significant areas is refrigeration, which accounts for a substantial portion of our energy costs. With FridgeWize advanced technology, we saw an immediate impact on improving our bottom line. Energy savings surpassed expectations, exceeding the promised efficiency range and saving us more money. Overall, FridgeWize has been a game-changer for our supermarket. The energy savings and operational cost reductions have been substantial, allowing us to focus on what matters most—our customers. We highly recommend FridgeWize to any grocer looking to optimize energy usage, save on operational costs, and positively impact the environment.“ - Mike Beal - CFO of Balls Foods #energyreduction #grocery #supermarkets #retrofit #

When it's cold, wet & dark outside, many supermarket shoppers want quick, easy and convenient meals when they get home. Convenience meal brand Rustlers (a Kepak Group brand) used this seasonal timing to generate record breaking sales of over 550 units per store, per day! LINK created and toured three Rustlers branded burger stands on a tour of 180 Tesco Extras & Superstores. Once customers understood that the microwaveable burgers were properly flame grilled, made with 100% British and Irish Beef and got to taste the thick, juicy beef patties, the negative perception of the brand was quickly changed. What was the power of this type of seasonal campaign timing? Each day over 1,600 shoppers got to See > Try > then Buy the Rustlers tasters. It generated an incredible 23% sample to sale conversion ratio. Average daily sales of 315 units were generated across 180 Tescos. Even a TESCO WORLD RECORD peak sales of over 563 units were sold in just one store, in one day! The campaign was responsible for increasing sales across Tesco's entire ready meal category by 13%!!! It also won GOLD for The Most Effective Retail Sales Experience that year too! 🔥🔥🔥 #RustlersAKepakGroupBrand #Tesco #Marketing #Sampling #Burger #Bringyourbrandtolife
