People are becoming more aware of healthier alternatives to their favorite foods and this has
impacted consumer behaviour dramatically.
The consumer behavior shifts have lead to the exploding popularity of frozen yogurt over the
past few years. In the U.S. alone about 121 million servings of frozen yogurt are served
annually with an industry growth rate of about 8%.
Further, Greek yogurt has fast become a consumer favorite due to its heightened health
benefits and creamier texture. In the five years leading up to 2011, Greek yogurt sales
exploded by 2500%

12. RETAILER PARTNERSHIPS
GRAB AND GO CONCEPT
Go Greek has developed a grab and go concept that will leverage the existing clientele of the
surrounding businesses such as fitness centers, convenience stores, coffee shops and small
health food stores. Grab and Go locations will be outfitted with a branded glass-front
refrigeration unit to build brand and product awareness. In major centres where consumer
demand is high, snacks and meals will be delivered each morning. Resale contracts will be
negotiated with all Grab and Go locations.
PRE-PACKAGED RETAIL STRATEGY
Focusing on expansion, Go Greek will seek to create new distribution channels by offering the
sale of Go Greek products in other retail and grocery locations within North America. Go Greek
branded goods such as the spoon sweets that go with plain yogurt and both fresh and frozen
pre-packaged yogurt would be available at other establishments. This strategy allows for
targeted outreach to a broader retail consumer base.
