The Packer — sister publication of Produce Retailer — is hosting a webinar June 26 about trends in the fresh produce industry, and three retailers will be discussing what they're seeing related to these trends in their stores.
The webinar will feature conversations with Scott Bennett, produce sales and merchandising manager for Jewel-Osco; Rob Ybarra, director of produce and floral for Coborn's; and Kevin Byers, produce merchandiser for PCC Community Markets.
These buyers discuss organic, bulk produce versus packaged, consumer demand for sustainable and socially responsible products, social media, e-commerce and which fruits and vegetables are seeing growth in their stores.
