In a global world, where cultures converge, the future world of food will offer much more too! Demanding customers will be more aware and conscious of the choices they make. From quality to decor, presentation will take all the points.
It will try to give supermarkets authenticity by maintaining a link between the between producer and retailer. Local producers will get more advantage as careful consumers give more emphasis to the quality of food that they buy.
Farmers markets within supermarkets could appease the demand for authentic fresh local produce.
‘human quality’ will work to impress consumers. The onus of social responsibility will fall on supermarkets and they will have to take on programs such as going carbon neutral. Sense of community will become essential. Branding and ranging will revolve around creating ‘my kind of brand’.
Choose a recipe, buy the ingredients, then cook up your meals in the supermarket’s kitchen at the center of the store.
Most might want to use the internet to order! To counter this move supermarkets will have to come up with innovative ideas and services that save time. They could become a place to recharge cars as well as to cooktheir meals for a week!
Recycle, recharge, and place your grocery order.
