Final CFFA Merchandiser Report Southeast Ken Meyer Season recap Final CFFA Merchandiser Report Southeast Ken Meyer Executive Summary This was my first season with CFFA and it was full of ups and downs. Weather problems, shipping problems, dock strikes; all made retailers on edge during the season. Some retailers reported to me that it was one of the worst years in recent memory. Many complained that they could not get to the price point that they needed to have to move good volumes of fruit. This resulted in a number of cancelled promotions. Kroger Memphis, Kroger Atlanta, Harris Teeter, Winn- Dixie/BI-LO, Merchants Distributing, Ingles, and Belle Foods all decided not to run promotions that they had previously committed to. The reasons given were inconsistent supplies and quality. On the other hand Hitchcock’s of Florida, Houchen’s of Kentucky, Piggly Wiggly of South Carolina, and the Defense Commissary Agency ran display contests…some of them for the first time ever. And results were very positive. Retail tags for our TV ads went out to Tampa and Jacksonville Florida, Nashville, Tennessee, and Charlotte, North Carolina. We separated timing of the commercials in Jacksonville and Tampa markets. Publix asked us for a separate commercial from the normal TV ad and so both Tampa and Jacksonville got one ad for Publix and Winn Dixie got the other ad. Harris Teeter got the tag line in Charlotte, with Food Lion turning it down. Thousands of points of sales materials were sent to retailers throughout the Southwest. Many of retailers commented that they had never seen this material before and really liked the colorful displays they could make from our POS. Promotions Hitchcock’s of Northern Florida is a small chain of 10 stores. They ran a display contest in March and had two ads on Chilean fruit with our logo in the ads. The first ad generated sales increases of 3 percent and the second ad increased sales by 3.5 percent. Houchen’s Food Stores are located in Kentucky and Indiana. Their northern division of 30 stores ran a display contest. Photos and results to arrive by early May. Piggly Wiggly of South Carolina is an independent wholesale distributor based in Charleston, South Carolina. They service about 100 stores using the Piggly Wiggly label. They were very happy to be running a contest with Chilean fruit for the first time ever. This contest ran late in the season, so results are still not available. The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) based in Virginia covers 140 commissaries in the continental United States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska. This was their first-ever contest done with Chilean fruit. DeCA made the decision to use Chilean Fruit for their displays, but left the buying to wholesalers who have won the right by government bidding to service the commissaries. Wholesalers such as Hardie’s in Dallas, Military Produce Group in Virginia, Coast Produce in Califormia, and Castellini in Cincinnati are some of the wholesalers that have the right to sell DeCA, so the promotion required extensive coordination on behalf of the CFFA. Each commissary had to use at least 4 varieties of Chilean Fruit, as well as POS material supplied by the CFFA. Photos to be submitted by end of April, with judging by the CFFA. A more extensive report will be available in May, but here is some feedback from select commissaries. Davis Monthom Commissary Carried red and green grapes, nectarines, peaches, red and black plums for a 2 week time frame from March 3rd to March 17th. Produce sales with all items included jumped 11.87% vs. same time last year. Fort Benning Commissary Fort Benning Commissary was very successful in bringing a taste of summer to winter-weary customers. Their main Chilean display included Peaches, Plums, Nectarines, Blueberries, and Red, Green and Black Grapes. They had a total sales increase of 32% from 11-24 March 2012 in comparison to 11-24 March 2013. They believe their customers will look for these items the next winter season. 37% increase on Peaches; 7% increase on Nectarines; 48% increase on Plums; 85% increase on Black Grapes; 28% increase on Green Grapes; 24% increase on Red Grapes TV Campaign The Southeast region had television ads in four markets: Jacksonville and Tampa Florida, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Nashville, Tennessee. Three of these markets (Jacksonville, Tampa and Nashville) had Publix stores in them. Every week during the Chilean fruit season, Publix had at least one ad showing Chilean Fruit, with up to three ads for different commodities. Winn Dixie-Bi-Lo was in two of the ad markets and they also supported with weekly ads. Finally, in Charlotte, we tagged Harris Teeter, who responded with strong promotion support and weekly Chilean fruit ads. In Nashville we had Kroger and Publix using the tag. Publix Ads Customers who attended Retail Tour to Chile Joe Watson’s from Rouses attended the January customer tour to Chile. Rouses has 37 stores in the New Orleans area. Joe ran 14 Chilean ads throughout the season, and wrote a one-page article on his trip to Chile for Rouse’s in-store magazine. He also flew in figs for the first time ever and will be a strong Chilean supporter as we move ahead. Publix CFFA designed a retail tour specifically for Publix, with the produce director, category manager and two buyers traveling to Chile for a week and meeting with an extensive network of growers. Publix reported that they were very encouraged by the results of the trip and view it as a positive step in establishing strong relationships with growers and communicating what their stores require. They expect to make this a regular visit every few years. As noted above, Publix gave extensive ad support throughout the season and promoted their Jet Fresh stone fruit program with POSM designed specifically for them. Retail Ads and Point of Sale Support After joining the CFFA in November of 2012, I made it my goal to see as many customers as I could with a personal visit. I had worked in the Southeastern United States for 27 years with another commodity and I knew a lot of people but in many cases the buyer or the merchandisers were different people so a lot of the calls were first time meetings. The following is a list of retailers and some wholesalers who I personally called on and what we talked about. • DeCA, Bridget Bennett, Started first ever Chilean Fruit contest, over 140 commissaries. • Military Produce Group, Randy Brittain buyer, and Al Oliver director of sales, supplier to 100 commissaries on the east coast. • Kroger Roanoke, 100 stores, Susan Terry, assistant merchandiser, sent out POS material. • KVAT Food Stores, (Food City), Keith Cox, category manager, ordered POS material. • Kroger Atlanta, Duane Myers, assistant merchandiser, said yes to a sales contest, but then turned it down when quality, quantity and pricing became an issue • General Produce, Georgia, serves about 400 stores, Andrew Scott and Geo.

In abrupt fashion, on February 3rd, Asheville, North Carolina-based Earth Fare announced it would halt business operations and close all 50 locations, joining two other once- Rocky Mountain 3 prominent and rising healthy foods chains shuttered in recent weeks. Colorado-based Lucky’s Market West 5 announced it would be closing the banner, excluding seven locations purchased by management, and Southwest 6 New York-based Fairway Market in January again filed for bankruptcy and is selling all stores. Northwest 8 In the days following both the Lucky’s and Fairway announcement many insiders eyed the Asheville- based organic, natural foods grocer as a potential benefactor, especially in the Florida market where Midwest 9 Lucky’s closed 20 of 21 stores, and Earth Fare had its own plans in the works for 50 locations alone in Distributor News 11 the state. However, the future now holds no new store openings, no further growth and uncertainty for Earth Fare’s reported 3,000 employees. The company began liquidation sales at all stores, which Earth Data Update 11 Fare has throughout 10 states, immediately after the news was announced. Oak Hill Capital Partners, a Food Policy 14 New York-based private equity firm, currently holds a majority stake in Earth Fare.

  • Modern Fare Foods Business Plan
    Modern Fare Foods Business Plan Executive Summary Modern Fare Foods, LLC (the “Company”) was formed to provide a unique shopping experience for the consumer that combines the desired benefits of quality and efficiency. Cleanliness, color, redesigned carts, personalized customer service, and easy-to-read POP signage will all combine to create this unique experience and set the Company apart from other local market competitors. Given the trend towards smaller family sizes, a need exists for individual packaged offerings and shelf-stable foods. Serving sizes designed to eliminate waste or spoilage and fresh / organic food offerings will appeal to health conscious consumers. This shopping experience reinforces to the consumer that they are receiving quality products and can feel good about their shopping selections. Consumers will find bright color and signage to enable them to find desired items quickly and conveniently. In addition to traditional store shelves, a butcher’s counter with freshly sliced meats and cheeses, a deli with ready-to-eat lunch and dinner selections, a produce section that includes both organic and vegan selections, and stand-alone displays of specialty items will be available. In order to offer the best specialty foods given the target market’s interests, the Company will use several suppliers on a rotating schedule to meet the target price point and product selection goals. Empire Foods, based in Cincinnati, OH, has a wide selection of natural and organic food selections that would appeal to an important segment of the Company’s target audience. They also offer marketing and merchandising services for the retail grocery industry that would provide Modern Fare Foods with a competitive edge in the marketplace.
