Meet California's
Top Retailers
Stand Out.
Be a True and Authentic Original.
Traditional grocery? Meet non-traditional thinking. A place where one-size-fits-all is being replaced by one-size-fits-one. A place where true value is derived from expressing your true values.
With today’s fragmented shopping reality, customers are looking for a different kind of retail relationship. Omni-connected consumers are embracing the companies and brands that express and demonstrate their values. How retailers define themselves is as important as the products on their shelves and the prices they charge. Truthfulness, integrity, sincerity, individuality, and openness are the new currencies that creates loyal customer connections – in-store and on-line.
Join your industry colleagues on this mind-expanding, purposeful journey into the next generation of grocery retailing.
