Brad examines both, presenting a sharp and thorough exploration of how the food retail and food service industry tick, in both theory and in practice. He starts with retail, carefully deconstructing the anatomy of a grocery store from the frozen aisle to shelf slots, paying special attention to how human psychology informs its layout and the sales it offers. He then helps you evaluate three major retail strategies to see how supermarkets attract new and retain current customers. He shows how retailers use customer data to refine and reform their marketing strategies.
