offering, because it doesn’t include a lot of our
features.” - ABC vs Air Asia
• “It’s good value but not in our preferred
customer market.” - ABC vs Toyota
• “Sure they’re hurting us, but with their unfair
advantage, what can we do?” – ABC vs MILO

• Selectively hold discounts to hold business that has
started to go elsewhere
• Introduce new promotions, terms, conditions, and offers to
confuse and cloud the market
• Beef up customer service by adding people to fix mess-
ups and quicken delayed shipments
• Delay capital investments and adjust accounting methods
to portray quarterly financial results more favorably
• Introduce “new and improved” products that are new in
form, but not in substantive ways that are of consequence
to purchasers
• Introduce Balanced Scorecards and Performance

53. Grocery Store of the
Future
“Supermarket Strategies: What's New at the Grocer”,
Bloomberg Businessweek, June 8, 2009
www.myCNI.com.my www.OOBEY.com
54. The Grocery Store of the Future
By Damian Joseph
Going Small
Who's Doing It: Wal-Mart, Safeway, Super Value, Tesco
What's New: Companies known for vast supermarkets are opening
up small-format stores. Wal-Mart's Marketside (WMT), Safeway's
The Market (SWY), Super Value's Urban Fresh (SVU), and Tesco's
Fresh & Easy all focus on selling fresh produce, ready-made meals,
and organic or natural products. The idea is to penetrate densely
populated neighborhoods and inspire daily shopping visits.
55. Going Ethnic
Who's Doing It: Wal-Mart, Publix
What's New: In an effort to serve the growing Hispanic
population, companies are opening up stores dedicated to
them. Wal-Mart's Supermercado and Publix's Sabor sell
Latino-style bakery products and ingredients, prepared foods,
fresh tortillas, and the stores have bilingual staffs.
56. Meal Assembly
Who's Doing It: Super Suppers, Dream Dinners
What's New: Somewhere between takeout and a grocery store,
meal assemblers sell entire dinners that have yet to be cooked.
The meals follow restaurant-style recipes and come with fresh
ingredients that are pre-cut or proportioned. The customer takes
the food home, puts it together, and cooks for an immediate meal
or to freeze for later. Dinners that serve six people are popular for
entertaining.
57. Smart Packaging
Who's Doing It: Sira Technologies, University of Rhode Island,
Manchester University
What's New: Researchers are developing packaging that senses
when food spoils. Working with the University of Rhode Island, Sira
Technologies created bar codes that turn red, and therefore cannot
be scanned, when a special ink detects temperature increases,
which can breed contaminates like E coli or salmonella. Scientists at
Manchester University are working on refrigerators that will text or
e-mail an alert when packaging senses fresh meats have gone bad.
58. Shopping Cart Wash
Who's Doing It: PureCart Systems
What's New: Anything that people put their hands on becomes a
surface that can spread germs. To keep that from happening,
PureCart is selling a car wash for carts. Employees run shopping
baskets through a machine that looks like a metal detector and
sprays them with a mixture of water, peroxide, and vinegar to kill
bacteria. Though the device costs $10,000, each wash takes only a
few seconds and is cheaper over time than sanitizing carts with
disinfectant wipes
59. Grocerants
Who's Doing It: Whole Foods, Wegman's, Roche Bros.
What's New: What started as a deli counter or hot food section
has become an entire restaurant. To keep up with competition
from local eateries and ramp up store traffic, grocerants—a play
on grocer and restaurant—are doing the cooking. Whole Foods
(WFMI) and Wegman's are among chains adding sit-down areas
with tables and chairs.
60. Niche Labels
Who's Doing It: Safeway, Trader Joe's, Target, SuperValu
What's New: Private labels are finding their own niches. Safeway
now has Bright Green natural cleaning and laundry products
made from biodegradable ingredients and Organics foods, like
cereals, sauces, and cookies. These products successfully
compete with name brands and typically bring bigger returns to
grocers. Other examples include Wild Harvest at SuperValu's
Jewel, Archer Farms at Target (TGT), and Trader Joe's eponymous
products.
61. Smart Shopping Carts
Who's Doing It: Stop & Shop, IBM, Springboard Networks
What's New: Wireless-enabled shopping carts with mini-
computers on board—like IBM's Shopping Buddy (IBM) and
Springboard Network's Concierge—allow customers to keep a
running tab by scanning products as they shop, see what's on
sale in the aisle they're in, search for products, pay, and leave
without waiting in line. Grocers can save on labor costs and
advertisers can connect with highly specific target audiences.
62. Mobile Coupons
Who's Doing It: Kroger, Cellfire, Zavers
What's New: Companies are offering coupons on cell phones and
online. Customers can save the coupons to their store's "loyalty
cards" or simply show their phones to the cashier. For customers,
the service makes saving money easier. It cuts costs for grocers,
too, since they don't have to hassle with paper coupons. In
addition, e-coupons provide real-time market data and boost
customer use of loyalty cards.
63. Mobile Scanners
Who's Doing It: Metro Group, Big in Japan, Occipital
What's New: Customers can now use cell phones to scan product
bar codes to comparison shop or read reviews about a particular
item. Big in Japan's ShopSavvy and Occipital's RedLaser relay
product info to consumers after they scan items via the built-in
cameras on their phones. Metro Group's Real hypermarkets in
Germany are testing a system in which customers would register
their cell phones to use as a payment/checkout device.
64. Advanced In-Store TV Networks
Who's Doing It: Wal-Mart, Premier Retail Networks, Studio 2, DS-
IQ, Kroger, In-Store Broadcasting Network
What's New: Individually programmable video monitors display
advertising and product information. The in-store networks let
advertisers target ads by day, time, and aisle, and provide them
with proof of performance and sales reports. Two years and $10
million in the making, Wal-Mart's Smart Network is powered by
internet protocol television.
65. Marinade on Demand
Who's Doing It: Sealed Air
What's New: Eliminating the mess, excess packaging, and hassle
of marinating raw meat, Sealed Air's (SEE) Marinade on Demand
system puts meat and marinade in separate compartments in the
same package. When consumers get home, they squeeze the
marinade pocket to break the seal between the two and leave the
meat to marinate as long as they like.
66. Whole Canned Chicken
Who's Doing It: Sweet Sue
What's New: Sales of canned meats such as Hormel's Spam have
increased in the recession. Now Sweet Sue, a unit of San Diego-
based Castleberry's offers a precooked, whole chicken that can
be eaten right out of the can. The listed ingredients on the 50-oz.
tin are only chicken, water, and salt.
67. Instant Coffee Wars
Who's Doing It: Starbucks, Nestlé
What's New: It was only a few years back that Nestlé (NESN)
introduced "stick packs," one-serving instant coffee packages of its
Taster's Choice brand. Starbucks (SBUX) jumped in this year its own
version, Via, which garnered a lot of attention due to the
company's barista roots. Nestlé has since fired back with a lower
price per stick and an array of flavors.
68. Social Grocery Shopping
Who's Doing It: Zeer.com, Most Grocery Stores
What's New: Grocery stores are building networks of followers
on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and other social media sites.
Shoppers can join Zeer.com, an online social shopping site that
lets users scan reviews on more than 110,000 products, join
communities of customers with similar tastes, and create
shopping lists with favorite items automatically added. Zeer has
an application for iPhones, too.
69. Natural Pet Products
Who's Doing It: Purina, Rachael Ray, Eukanuba, Nature's Recipe
What's New: For years, pets munched on indistinguishable
processed food, with only a few brands offering high-quality
products for dogs and cats. Today, natural and organic pet food is
all the rage, with lines from Nature's Recipe (DLM), Procter &
Gamble's Eukanuba, and Nestlé's Purina. Rachael Ray has a
signature line of natural dog food. Canada's Medi-cal sells a vegan
version, and for dessert, TBD Brand of Exeter, N.H., offers Yöghund
organic frozen yogurt.
70. New Recyclables
Who's Doing It: Frito-Lay, Primo Water, Biota Brands
What's New: With the push for green products, companies are
upgrading packaging. Frito-Lay's (PEP) Sun Chips soon will come
in compostable bags made from a plant-based plastic called PLA.
Similar eco-plastics made from corn or sugar cane are being used
for beverages, such as Primo and Biota bottled waters. Another
company, Boxed Water is Better, sells water in cartons made from
85% recycled waste that are re-recyclable.
71. Conveyor Belt Ads
Who's Doing It: Kroger, EnVision Marketing
What's New: Those revolving black belts that groceries ride to the
cashier's waiting hands are now valuable marketing space. Little
Rock (Ark.)-based EnVision Marketing patented a process to print
ads directly onto the belts, which are nearly impossible for
customers to miss. Kroger (KR) is trying out the system in some of
its stores.
72. Home Delivery 2.0
Who's Doing It: Amazon
What's New: The world's biggest online retailer is testing the
viability of grocery delivery to homes in parts of Seattle. The
concept isn't brand new—PeaPod and Webvan arose almost a
decade ago—but Amazon's (AMZN) shipping operations are
second-to-none. If Amazon finds big profits where others couldn't,
it probably won't be long before the service expands to other
markets.
73. Made in Transit Produce
Who's Doing It: Wageningen University, Agata Jaworska
What's New: Instead of growing produce in a field or hothouse
and then shipping it, scientists from Wageningen University are
experimenting with mushrooms that grow as they're shipped. The
school is working with Agata Jaworska, who invented the method
as a graduate student at the Design Academy Eindhoven in the
Netherlands. They think the process could be adapted for micro-
vegetables or baked goods, too.
74. Three-Tiered Private Labels
Who's Doing It: Kroger, Food Lion, Winn Dixie
What's New: Introducing a "good," "better," and "best" approach
to food sales, grocers are using tiered labels to reach different
strata of consumers. At Kroger, Kroger Value products are the
cheapest; Kroger is the mid-level, and Private Selection is the most
expensive. Similar approaches have boosted sales at Food Lion and
Winn Dixie (WINN), while providing the chance for higher markups.
75. Green Grocers
Who's Doing It: Price Chopper, SuperValu, Kroger, PCC Natural
Markets, Giant Eagle, Target
What's New: Grocery stores used to burn electricity like Hummers
burned gasoline, but times have changed. Call it green-washing or
a way to cut costs, grocery stores have begun racking up eco-
certifications from the U.S. Green Building Council. From efficient
lighting to bamboo flooring, grocers are becoming lean, green,
energy-saving machines.
76. Super Discount Shops
Who's Doing It: Aldi, Local Surplus Stores
What's New: With a sinking economy, shoppers are straying from
expensive name brands and seeking the best deals available.
Though super-discounters like Aldi don't carry wide selections or
brand names, the prices are dirt cheap. Surplus stores are also
springing up that sell slightly older products at lower costs.

that profit is more important than revenue,
quality is more important that profit,
people are more important than profit,
customers are more important than our
people, big customers are more important
than small customers, and that growth is
the key to our success. No wonder our
