  • Demand for Beyond Sausage® Grows As Retailers Nationwide Stock The
    Demand for Beyond Sausage® Grows as Retailers Nationwide Stock The Plant-Based Links in The Meat Case Beyond Sausage becomes the first plant-based sausage to be sold in the meat case at thousands of new stores across the country, including Jewel-Osco, Kroger, Publix, Ralphs, Sprouts, Vons, Wegmans and Shop-Rite El Segundo, CALIF. (March 14, 2019) – With backyard barbeque season just around the corner, Beyond Meat® is revving up the distribution of its meaty, plant-based sausage. Beyond Sausage is the world's first plant-based sausage that looks, sizzles, and satisfies like pork, but comes with the benefits of plant-based meat. With more protein than pork sausage but 38 percent less saturated fat and no nitrates, gluten, soy or GMOs, Beyond Sausage is the missing link that delivers the satisfying taste and texture of pork sausage, while being better for human health and the environment. Fans looking to try The Future of Protein® can find Beyond Sausage at over 4,000 grocery stores, restaurants and sports stadiums nationwide. “The consumer reaction to Beyond Sausage has been very positive, with many retailers struggling to keep up with demand. In response, we’ve been increasing production and distribution of Beyond Sausage, which now sees availability at a number of major retailers, making it easier than ever for shoppers to find Beyond Sausage in their local meat case,” said Chuck Muth, Chief Growth Officer, Beyond Meat. Named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2018, Beyond Sausage is also available in a growing number of restaurants and food service outlets including DogHaus, Bareburger, Yankee Stadium, Schaller’s Stube, Rip’s Malt Shop, Wurstküche, Rosamunde Sausage Grill, Next Level Burger, The Moonlighter, State Street Brats and Lord of the Fries.

  • Market Structure Analysis of Florida Metropolitan and Micropolitan
    Retail Grocery Market Structure Analysis of Virginia Metropolitan and Micropolitan Areas Prepared for Virginia Community Capital (VCC) by The Reinvestment Fund (TRF) as part of the ReFresh initiative, supported by JPMorgan Chase | February 2015 Retail Grocery Market Structure Analysis of Virginia Metropolitan and Micropolitan Areas Prepared for Virginia Community Capital (VCC) by The Reinvestment Fund (TRF) as part of the ReFresh initiative, supported by JPMorgan Chase | February 2015 TRF’s Market Structure Analysis measures the concentration of market share within a region’s retail grocery industry. In general, as the concentration of market share within the top few grocers increases, the region’s overall level of competition within the industry decreases as it evolves into a tighter oligopoly.1 An oligopoly is a market condition in which the supply of a good or service is largely controlled by a small number of entities, each of which is in a position to influence prices, thus directly affecting its competitors’ ability to sustain profitability. After decades of mergers, acquisitions, and emphasis on economies of scale, the retail grocery industry has naturally evolved into an oligopoly, ranging in intensity from tight (fewer majority owners) to loose (more majority owners), based on the number of owning entities controlling the majority market share.2 TRF’s experience with the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative suggests that a tight oligopoly in at least one Pennsylvania metro area made market penetration especially difficult for local and regional grocers that were not members of the oligopoly. Conversely, loose oligopolies with less concentrated market share exhibited fewer barriers to entry for prospective grocers.
