- Thursday, September 27, 2012, 12:44 PM Young shoppers are the force behind the rapid growth of showrooming with their grasp on how to use mobile devices to find the best deals, according to research by AlixPartners. Naturally, Amazon (AMZN +2.2%) appears to be a beneficiary of the trend, but brick-and-mortar retailers could have a secret weapon. A retail brief published by Aimia suggests that the very same savvy young shoppers who make showrooming a force of habit are also the most loyal reward program participants. The end game: A loyalty program with soft benefits could steal Amazon's thunder. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 3:26 PM Kroger (KR -0.3%) continues to roll out at stores its new brands aimed at replacing private label lines thought to be confusing to consumers. The Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic brands have more than 250 food items with new packaging and promotions highlighting that they are free from 101 artificial preservatives and ingredients. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 1:14 PM Toys R Us Chairman Jerry Storch makes the case on Squawk Box that brick-and-mortar stores won't go away anytime soon, but will morph into mini-distribution centers. The line of thought follows a recent trend by retail players of using existing stores as fulfillment centers and showcasing more extensive pick up options to online buyers. The end game: Retail stores see a competitive advantage over Amazon if they can deliver products faster as they still dream about ultimately offering the holy grail of online shopping - same-day delivery. 13 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, September 24, 2012, 12:33 PM Supermarket chains increase their focus on winning back healthy-oriented shoppers who have turned to Whole Foods Markets (WFM -0.5%) and farmers markers.

Industry data shows that demand for organic food is still strong in the U.S. with 78% of families including the category as part of their shopping strategy. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, September 24, 2012, 9:27 AM A price war could be developing in the K-Cup market, according to retail analyst Howard Penney. The buzz is that Kroger (KR) is selling its store brand product at $6, an entry point that could pressure Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), Supervalu (SVU), and Safeway (SWY) to trim prices on their single serve offerings. 9 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 1:32 PM Kroger (KR +1.4%) says recalls spinach packages sold in stores in 15 different states on concerns they could be contaminated with a dangerous strain of listeria bacteria.

- Thursday, August 30, 2012, 1:55 PM Today's round of strong sale reports from major retailers may give firms the confidence to hold back on more promotional activity heading into the holiday season, according to AlixPartners. One promising trend is that shoppers stepped out to buy bolder, more fashion-oriented lines - instead of just replenishing the basics. With the retail table now set for a strong Q3 as the back-to-school season roars to a powerful start, optimism starts to creep up that consumers might even keep the good vibes going right through the crucial holiday period. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, August 23, 2012, 8:22 AM Jefferies cuts its rating on Safeway (SWY) to Hold from Buy. The sector has been increasingly falling out of favor with analysts on the Street as chatter on LBOs and mergers fades and the reality of food inflation takes center stage. On watch: KR, SVU, AHONY.PK, TSCDY.PK. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Tuesday, August 14, 2012, 2:00 PM No M.D. required: Kroger (KR +0.5%) plans to offer self-use health screening kiosks at all 1,950 of its pharmacy locations across the U.S. The company says customers can monitor blood pressure, body composition, vision, and blood glucose numbers - as well as create their own personal health record account that can be tracked online. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, August 10, 2012, 7:53 AM Kroger (KR) and Safeway (SWY) begin to test customized pricing in an effort to improve their razor-thin margins. As part of the program, the companies use data culled from loyalty card purchases to determine individualized prices that may encourage shoppers to spend more. The next phase: Geo-targeting shoppers with coupons based on their location inside a store. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, July 16, 2012, 2:32 PM Grocery store chain Weis Markets (WMK -0.3%) decides to freeze prices for 100 days to commemorate its 100th anniversary. The mid-sized company says it has locked in savings from strategic early buying, but that's not the story at all from larger chains such as SWY, SVU, and KR where the perfect storm of higher food costs and competitive pressure from big box retailers has been hitting bottom lines. 1 Comment [Consumer]
