The butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker

Perhaps we haven’t retreated this far but shoppers are certainly not doing the huge weekly shopping trips that were a family event 20 years ago. Listen to experts from the Big Rivers team discuss this theme in our second podcast.

Grocery shopping is no longer seen as entertaining at any level – it is a time-consuming chore that just has to be done. Big River Solutions consultants, Christine Edwards, Neil Hutton and Rebecca Ross, discuss this phenomenon and where it might lead. Some conclusions that bear further examination include observations that superstores are being outgunned by the discounters – the latter not being just cheap but also quick, easy and convenient - as well as smaller stores for bite-size shopping.
