Welcome to Omni Talk's Retail Daily Minute, sponsored by RetailClub and Mirakl.
In today's Retail Daily Minute:
- Traditional supermarkets are hemorrhaging younger shoppers as Gen Z, millennials, and Gen X increasingly abandon grocery stores for discount retailers like Walmart and Aldi, with supermarkets plummeting from the second-most shopped format to near the bottom among these demographics, according to new research from The Feedback Group.
- EG America accelerates its digital transformation by launching online ordering and delivery at 500 of its 1,500 convenience stores through a partnership with Vroom Delivery, marking the latest step in the c-store giant's aggressive push to enhance its foodservice programs across all 10 banners.
- Wienerschnitzel makes history with its first East Coast expansion, signing a seven-unit development deal in Virginia's Norfolk and Richmond markets as the country's largest hot dog franchise pushes beyond its traditional Western footprint with veteran McDonald's franchisee Leon Dickey leading the charge.
