Grocery stores are becoming “grocerants” and cooking for their customers.

Grocery stores are becoming “grocerants” and cooking for their customers. To make shoppers stay for more than just their typical grocery haul, supermarkets like Kroger, Whole Foods, and Hy-Vee are coming up with fresh ways to keep them for lunch or dinner too. Food halls, delivery-only kitchens, restaurants, and even cocktail bars are being added to stores to serve up menus and experience. YPulse’s Experiencification research found that 79% of young consumers like the idea of stores having restaurants and cafes in them, so it’s a smart trend for retailers to tap into. (CNN)
