What’s In Store 2019: Convenience

Time is a luxury. In a fast-paced world we are searching to maximize our time doing our favorite things, and spend less time doing the things that feel like chores.

Grocery shopping can sometimes feel chore-like, thus, the advancements of

  • Click & Collect;
  • Meal Kits and do-it-yourself kits;
  • Grab-and-go prepared meals; and,
  • Cashier-less stores.

Manufacturers and retailers can leverage the paradox: control without having to control too much.
