The current volatile economic climate has grocers across the nation facing tough challenges, and also real opportunities. And after 75 years of providing the grocery industry with exclusive, insightful research and analysis, Progressive Grocer’s latest Annual Report of the Grocery Industry is more relevant and timely than ever to help grocery store owners and operators successfully navigate through today’s tough business environment.


Every year, Progressive Grocer polls its retail audience in depth, and also taps into the robust research data and capabilities of its sister company Nielsen, to create a comprehensive business assessment of the year just past and forecast the year ahead. This year’s report emphasizes the wide-ranging impacts of the economy on business and the consumer, and what opportunities this presents to grocers large and small.


For the first time, Progressive Grocer will showcase the highlights of this research and analysis in this on-demand Web Seminar that retailers are invited to attend, learn from, and participate in.

• Discussions of some of the most important data from the report

• Analysis by PG’s editors, retail economists and analysts, and commentary from retailers themselves on the challenges and opportunities

• The vendors’ perspective on product, pricing, and consumer trends reflected in the Annual Report


Also in the report and topics to be discussed include:

• Retailer’s own assessments of performance in 2007 and expectations for 2008

• Key merchandising and marketing strategies for dealing with current realities

• Operational factors
