201. Has CSR started to sell? Based on the Covid-19 pandemic : An insight from consumers’ perspective

Abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to explore if consumers evaluate CSR more into their purchase criterion compared to before the Covid-19 pandemic. CSR activities, consumer buying behavior, and CSR as a purchase criterion were combined in a conceptual framework. The consumer decision-making model was used as a framework in consumer buying behavior. In CSR as a purchase criterion, three factors were used to conclude if consumers started to evaluate CSR more as a purchase criterion. The empirical data was collected through two semi-structured focus groups. Group A was ensembled through a convenience sampling method but evolved to a snowball effect. Group B was ensembled through a purposive sampling method. The findings indicated that consumers did not start to evaluate CSR more as a purchase criterion. The main reason was the financial situation. However, consumers have started to buy more sustainable food, especially locally produced during the pandemic which indicated an increased awareness towards CSR as a purchase criterion. The findings also showed that the Covid-19 pandemic influenced consumers' awareness of CSR but the implemented safety precautions in grocery stores had a limited effect on consumers. The research field of consumer buying behavior in the context of CSR can be complemented with the findings in this study. This study contributed to a deeper understanding of consumer buying behavior and if they value CSR in their purchases during the Covid-19 pandemic.

202. How the COVID-19 pandemic affects physical store frontline employees

Abstract: The physical store frontline employees are the link between the organization and the customers. During 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic has had different effect on different retail sectors, some have had their worst results while ICA Maxi stores have increased their sales. This dissertation aimed to explore challenges the frontline employees and their store managers perceive they face during the COVID-19 pandemic in the retail store context. In order to explore these challenges semi structured interviews were conducted at an ICA Maxi store in the south of Sweden. The study found that the frontline employees are not involved in the decision-making process, that the leaders support is important for initiatives to be successful, and that there was no additional training for the frontline employees due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We draw the conclusion that while frontline employees are not included in the formal decision-making, they are still able to raise their concerns with their managers. We also draw the conclusion that managerial support is important when implementing initiatives for the frontline employees. Finally, we draw the conclusion that none of the frontline employees felt the need for any additional training. This study contributes to the scarce amount of research from the frontline employee perspective in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Practically, this study could be of value for store managers in order to enhance the customer interaction from a frontline employee point of view.

204. E-handel i dagligvaruhandeln : En fallstudie av Ica och Coop

Abstract: Dagligvaruhandeln har i många år präglats av stor osäkerhet och okunskap där ansvariga chefer inte har haft full förståelse för följderna som uppkommer genom resultatet av deras beslut. Under våren 2020 utbröt covid-19, en pandemi som skakade om hela världen. Vilket gjorde att dagligvaruhandeln började tappa besökare och den kompletterande handelsmöjlighetens tillväxt sköt i taket, nämligen e-handeln. Till en början med den ökade tillväxten var det svårt för företagen att hänga med och därav ändrades företagets strategi. När företag ändrar sin strategi resulterar det i att dem även måste ändra sin ekonomistyrning. Studien utfördes med en kvalitativ metod genom att göra en flerfallstudie i en Ica och en Coop butik. Datainsamlingsmetoden som användes var främst semistrukturerade intervjuer där tre anställda från Ica medverkade, respektive fyra från Coop. Respondenterna valdes ut med grund av att de hade olika befattningar inom företagen och förväntades besitta den kunskap som behövdes. Företag som följt med i den snabbskjutande tillväxten har fått uppleva både interna och externa förändringar som ändå resulterat i att ekonomistyrningen varit positiv. E-handeln är förhoppningsvis här för att stanna och företagen ser ljust på framtiden., The grocery trade has for many years been characterized by uncertainty and ignorance where responsible managers have not had a full understanding of the consequences that arise from the results of their decisions. In the spring of 2020, covid-19 erupted, a pandemic that shook the world. Which meant that the grocery trade began to lose visitors and the growth of the complementary trade opportunity shot to the ceiling, e-commerce. At first, with the increased growth, it was difficult for the companies to keep up and as a result, the company's strategy changed. When companies change their strategy, it results in them also having to change their financial management. The study was performed using a qualitative method by conducting a multiple case study in an Ica and a Coop store. The data collection method used was mainly semi-structured interviews where three employees from Ica participated, and four from Coop. The respondents were selected because they held different positions within the companies and were expected to possess the knowledge needed. Companies that have followed the rapid growth have experienced both internal and external changes that have nevertheless resulted in positive financial management. E-commerce is hopefully here to stay and companies see a bright future.

The focus of the study is on spatial design in combination with visual information. Collected theories as well as the use of methods such as location analysis, benchmarking, observations, behavioral mapping, interview and focus group, have provided an understanding of what the problem could be and what is needed to create the right conditions for shop visitors to avoid crowding. Based on this, a design proposal has been developed on how spatial design and visual information can be used in stores to control the customer flow. The design proposal consists of one-way paths with associated information that guide visitors through the store.

206. Hur påverkar färgassociationer konsumenters köpbeteende vid val av produkter i livsmedelsbranschen? : En kvalitativ studie om vikten av färgval inom marknadsföring och dess påverkan på konsumentbeteende

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to clarify and confirm previous research and expand the knowledge in this research area, since the majority of the information and knowledge that is available today is mostly repetitive. The theoretical frame of this study is based on theories, such as Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein, M. & Ajzen, I. 1967), alongside previous research done in this research area. The previous research consists of, among other things, analysed associations with the six different colours that this study also emphasizes. The theoretical synthesis is based on the deductive process; meaning, the authors of this survey have collected data and by observing this data, the authors determine whether these theories and previous researchers' arguments can be confirmed or not. Since this survey is based on a qualitative research method, the data collection for this study was executed through focus group interviews. The authors of this survey interviewed three focus groups with various participants in each focus group. Considering that this study focuses on the consumer and its behavior in the grocery store, the researchers selected interviewees who themselves are consumers and who regularly shop in the grocery store. In conclusion, the participants in the focus group interviews confirm that colour associations have an impact on their buying behavior in grocery stores.

Sammanfattningsvis stärks samtliga ursprungligt teoretiska faktorer och två nya faktorer adderas utifrån empirin i studie, Background: The Covid-19 pandemic is a crisis that caused rapid challenges for both companies and consumers, it is also a crisis that may become one of the most extended crises experienced in modern times. The restrictions that arose in order to stop the infection can affect consumers' current and subsequent behavior and habits, which makes it important for companies to maintain relationships with their customers to achieve continued customer loyalty even after the crisis. Research on customer loyalty has barely highlighted crises as a crucial factor for loyalty but losing a significant portion of customers during or after a crisis will lead to a more difficult future for affected companies. In literature, there are various aspects and factors that can have an impact on customer loyalty during a crisis. There are divided opinions in the literature and a lack of measures in the event of a crisis as a decisive factor for customer loyalty and how customer loyalty is handled by companies' crisis management.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose a framework, based on the factors presented in the theory chapter, on how companies can shape/uphold customer loyalty. This is based on our example and study area - Swedish grocery stores and the Covid-19 pandemic.Method: To fulfill the purpose of the study a qualitative method has been used. The method is based on an abductive research approach in which nine semi-structured interviews with grocery store managers were conducted.Conclusions: The study finds that the most frequently used factors that companies work with to promote customer loyalty during the Covid-19 pandemic involve hygiene and safety, crisis communication, expansion of online operations and reaction and action to make their customers feel safe. In summary, all originally theoretical factors are strengthened, and two new ones are added based on the empirical data in the study's final analysis model.

Subjects: communication plan, Bachelor's Degree in Advertising and Public Relations, el raconet de Chelo, identidad visual corporativa, plan de comunicación, target public, ultramarinos, positioning, Grau en Publicitat i Relacions Públiques, corporate visual identity, Grado en Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas, grocery store, posicionamiento, público objetivo
Abstract: Treball Final de Grau en Publicitat i Relacions Públiques. Codi: PU0932. Curs acadèmic: 2020/2021 En el siguiente trabajo se va a desarrollar un plan de comunicación para la solución de algunos problemas que se plantean de la empresa El Raconet de Chelo. A través de un análisis del contexto, el entorno y la situación de la empresa, se planteará la estrategia que se debe de llevar a cabo para alcanzar unos objetivos previamente definidos. Primeramente se realiza un profundo y exhaustivo análisis en el que se examinan todos los aspectos relacionados con la empresa, tanto internamente como externa. Para poder realizar esta investigación hemos realizado unos cuestionarios que la gerente de la empresa y su trabajadora, y a su vez se han consultado referencias bibliográficas que nos han ayudado a aclarar algunos conceptos y respaldar nuestros argumentos. Después de dicha investigación, hemos planteado los problemas respecto a la situación en la que se encuentra la empresa, los cuales son: posee unos nuevos servicios no comunicados, ni posicionados y la imagen de la marca no se ajusta a estos. Para poder solucionarlos, se han desarrollado una serie de objetivos que pretenden dar a conocer los servicios que la empresa ofrece, y para ello, se ha planteado una estrategia donde se desarrollan una serie de acciones comunicativas con el fin de comunicar al público estos servicios y posicionarse como empresa que los ofrece. Para concluir, podemos añadir que el plan de comunicación está dirigido únicamente y exclusivamente a la empresa de nuestro caso, y que sin este, no se podrían encontrar soluciones a los diferentes problemas que encontramos. In the following work, a communication plan will be developed to solve some of the problems of the company El Raconet de Chelo. Through an analysis of the context, the environment and the situation of the company, the strategy to be carried out in order to achieve previously defined objectives will be proposed. Firstly, an in-depth and exhaustive analysis is carried out in which all aspects related to the company, both internally and externally, are examined. In order to carry out this research, we carried out questionnaires with the company manager and her employee, and we consulted bibliographical references that helped us to clarify some concepts and support our arguments. After this research, we have raised the problems regarding the situation in which the company finds itself, which are: it has new services that have not been communicated or positioned, and the brand image does not match these. In order to solve them, a series of objectives have been developed with the aim of publicising the services that the company offers, and for this, a strategy has been proposed where a series of communicative actions are developed with the aim of communicating these services to the public and positioning itself as a company that offers them. To conclude, we can add that the communication plan is aimed solely and exclusively at the company in our case, and that without it, it would not be possible to find solutions to the different problems we encountered.

Abstract: Restaurant delivery services have gained in popularity among college students, however, students participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are not allowed to redeem their benefits via restaurant delivery services. This mixed-methods head-to-head crossover trial assessed whether college students experiencing marginal food security prefer benefits via a grocery store gift card (as a proxy for traditional SNAP benefits) or via a restaurant delivery service gift card of equivalent value, and which type of benefit is more effective at improving food security status. Thirty college students experiencing marginal food security were recruited to receive $80 in cash equivalent benefits to spend over a two-month period in the form of grocery store gift cards and restaurant delivery service gift cards. Participants completed surveys and interviews to measure their food security status and share their experiences with each benefit type. After four months of benefits, 48.3% of participants improved their food security status. However, neither type of benefit was statistically better at improving food security status. Most participants preferred grocery store benefits (89.7%) over restaurant delivery service benefits (10.3%). However, more research is needed to explore whether allowing SNAP recipients to redeem their benefits with restaurant delivery services is a viable mechanism to address food challenges among college students experiencing marginal food security.

Abstract: This journal contains the identity of the Aceh people in diaspora of grocery store (Kedai Runcit) in Malaysia. Diaspora plays a role in the establishment of a cosmopolitan commercial culture. The spread of humans from various parts of the earth to other parts of the world, meeting each other, communicating, forming networks, is ultimately a meeting between cultures, mutual appreciate, mutual respect, and mingling. Given that interaction between people is one of the important factors in strengthening relations between countries. The Indonesian diaspora is also expected to strengthen bilateral relations between Indonesia and Malaysia. The form of actualization of the runcit diaspora is a type of commerce that is easy to engage and can contribute to development. The study of these findings is focused on a review of the cultural identity of the Acehnese society in the grocery store diaspora in Malaysia. Among the Diaspora minorities in Malaysia, there are a small number of Acehnese migrants after the conflict and post-tsunami. Malaysia is known as the second multi-ethnic country after Singapore in the Southeast Asian Region. Researchers would look for samples of Acehnese people who have succeeded in creating new communities among ethnic communities, local Malays, ethnic Chinese, ethnic Indians who are the majority in Malaysia. Researchers would use the method of Literature Review and Netnography interview in data collection. The sample taken was Acehnese people who live or have a grocery store in Malaysia. The results of this research found that it is true that there is a diaspora process between the Acehnese people in Malaysia through commerce.KEYWORDS: Diaspora, Identity, Commerce, Grocery Store, Malaysia

Abstract: The cognitive complexity of adults’ questions, particularly during shared book reading, supports children’s developing language skills. Questions can be described as having low cognitive demand (CD; e.g., labeling, matching) or high-CD (e.g., comparing, predicting). Little is known about the relation between different types of parental questioning and children’s math abilities. The current study examined the quantity of low- and high-CD and domain-specific math questions that parents posed to their 4-year-old children in three structured activities and how the frequency of those questions relates to children’s concurrent math and language skills. Parent–child dyads (n = 121) were observed interacting with a picture book, grocery store toys, and a puzzle for about 5 min each, and children completed math and spatial assessments. Although the frequency with which parents asked questions did not relate to children’s outcomes, parents’ use of high-CD questions was associated with children’s spatial skills, standardized math scores, and vocabulary skills after controlling for parental utterances, child utterances, child age, and family socioeconomic status. However, domain-specific math questions were not related to any child outcomes above and beyond parents’ total questions. This study suggests that domain-general questions that vary in CD (low and high) are differentially related to children’s math and language abilities, which can inform the ways in which parents engage in early learning opportunities with their children.

222. Collaboration and commitment in a regional supermarket supply chain.

Author: Dunning, Rebecca
Abstract: This article presents findings from a longitudinal case study of efforts by a 100-store regional grocery store chain to localize its supply of fresh produce. The study was conducted to better understand the development of collaborative supply chains between farmers and grocery stores, and the broader potential that grocery store chains might play in localizing food systems. Data consists of three years of the chain’s local produce purchases via direct-store-delivery from farms to stores; a survey of store managers and farmer-vendors; and interviews with farmers and grocery store and chain-level management. Analysis is structured by a conceptual framework that links collaboration to trust, which undergirds mutual commitment and mutual dependency between supply chain members, and which is dependent upon effective communication and positive prior market exchanges. The study finds that organizational structures constraining single-store autonomy in purchasing and pricing, coupled with supply variability from farms, limits trust-building and the establishment of mutual commitments and dependencies. These constraints, however, do not completely exclude direct-store-delivery as a strategy for food system localization and grower market diversification. Practitioners can support the building of collaborative supply chains through capacity-building and shepherding of early market exchanges between growers and stores, and supporting individual growers or groups of growers to become “preferred vendors” for regional grocery chains.

226. L’épicerie, haut lieu de la culture populaire ?

Subjects: Cultural Studies, rapports marchands, supermarché, Geography, Planning and Development, Brussels, economy of gratuitousness, gratuité économique, proximity, Bruxelles, commerce, quartier, market relations, supermarket, proximité, grocery store, culture populaire, neighbourhood, popular culture, client, épicerie
Abstract: Basé sur des enquêtes ethnographiques réalisées auprès des épiciers grecs et turcs de Bruxelles, cet article examine dans quelle mesure, dans ce cadre marchand, la culture populaire devient un réservoir d’actions et d’attitudes dans lequel l’épicier peut puiser quand il veut privilégier l’esprit de convivialité. Alors que les responsables des politiques urbaines insistent sur la qualité d’accueil des commerces de proximité, il faudrait plutôt prendre en compte toute la gamme des rapports qui ont lieu à l’intérieur de l’épicerie : le tenancier entretient des liens affectifs avec les habitués, mais adopte une posture d’indifférence envers ceux qui sont des clients de passage. Imprégnée par l’esprit de bonne entente, l’épicerie constitue un espace où l’anonymat et la familiarité peuvent également s’épanouir et où des plaisanteries sur les sujets brûlants de l’actualité peuvent librement s’échanger. Quand un épicier est durablement installé dans un quartier, il devient le porteur de ses mémoires : si cela implique une obligation morale de préservation de la part des clients, le rôle de l’épicier en tant que « gardien du quartier » renvoie à une responsabilité morale parfois en contradiction avec la fonction économique. Il est aussi un acteur culturel qui n’hésite pas à se mobiliser dès qu’il y a rassemblement festif dans le quartier. En somme, l’épicerie est un des endroits qui peut rendre concrète la notion d’interconnaissance dans la ville. Cette potentialité est liée à d’autres idéaux, comme celui de la gratuité économique ou à la possibilité pour un commerce de devenir une sorte de « monument historique ». Based on an ethnographic fieldwork dealing with the Greek and Turkish grocers of Brussels, this article examines to what extent, in this commercial context, popular culture becomes a reservoir of actions and attitudes to which grocers have access when they want to favour conviviality. Urban policymakers emphasize the quality of welcoming that characterizes small local shops, but it would be more accurate to take under consideration the whole range of relations that take place in a grocery store: from the emotional ties (that link the shop-owner to his long-term clients) to the indifference towards someone who enters the shop for the first time. Imbued with a spirit of comprehension and understanding, the grocery store constitutes a space where anonymity and familiarity can be equally preserved, and jokes about controversial topics freely exchanged. When a grocer has achieved long-term sustainability, he becomes the reservoir of the neighbourhood’s memories: if this implies a moral obligation of preservation for the clients, the role of the grocer as “guardian of the neighbourhood” implies a moral responsibility that can sometimes be in contradiction with his need for economic profit. The grocer is also a cultural agent who does not hesitate to get mobilised every time there is a festive gathering in the neighbourhood. Hence, the grocery store in one of the places that may render concrete the notion of inter-knowledge in town. This potentiality is related to other ideals, like that of an economy of gratuitousness and of the store’s possibility of becoming a “historic monument”.

Abstract: 1. Sumathyuthee Kamalakannan, MD* 2. Irene P. Mathieu, MD* 1. *Department of Pediatrics, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA The demand for organic foods has grown substantially during the past several decades. Due to the widespread perception that organic food is healthier, parents may feel compelled to buy organic instead of conventional products to provide the most nutritious option available despite the cost of organic foods being on average 10% to 40% more expensive than conventionally produced foods. Furthermore, families may be concerned about the environmental impact of conventionally produced foods. Currently there is limited evidence for the nutritional superiority of organic foods. In this article we summarize the available evidence on the differences between organic and conventional food products and describe the limitations of the evidence currently available. In general, organic foods are defined as those that are grown or produced without the use of synthetic chemicals, hormones, antibiotic agents, genetic engineering, and irradiation. In the United States consumers may find product labeling at the grocery store misleading. For instance, processed products that contain mostly but not exclusively organic ingredients can use the phrase “made with organic ingredients.” Products can also be marked “natural” if no artificial ingredient or color has been added. These labels can lead consumers to incorrectly believe that such products meet the definition of organic. This heterogeneity, and the fact that few people eat an exclusively organic diet, complicate studies to assess the health impact of organic foods. For many people, the decision to buy organic produce is rooted in its perceived health benefits. Compared with conventionally grown produce, organic fruits and vegetables have been noted to contain more minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin C, and plant metabolites such as phenols and flavonoids. These metabolites function as defense agents for plants and may also have a role in preventing human disease. However, there is wide variation in the nutrient content of produce …

Abstract: Objectives We investigated the effect of using smartphone-based calendars (Google and Outlook Calendar) on prospective memory in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods we recruited two groups of participants with mild AD. In one group, prospective memory was cued by a paper-and-pencil calendar, whereas in the second group prospective memory was cued by a smartphone calendar application. After 2 weeks of training to familiarize the participants with calendar use, we invited participants to perform three prospective events per week (e.g., remembering to go to the grocery store) during a 3-week period. Events were cued either by the paper- or smartphone-based calendar. Results we observed fewer omissions of prospective events in the smartphone-based calendar group than in the paper-based calendar group. Conclusions our study suggests positive effects of smartphone calendar applications on prospective memory in AD.

Abstract: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed on migration of substances from packaging materials into dry foods, specifically those with surfaces containing no free fats or oils. Historically, migration from food packaging to dry foods has been assumed to be minimal. However, several recent publications have reported concentrations of migrants into dry foods that are substantially higher than anticipated. The goal of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of recent studies that examined migration to dry foods or dry food simulants, observe and assess common migrants, and report the highest migration values. Focusing on the packaging materials and migrants that exhibit the highest migration values, this review divided the studies into two categories: 1) analysis of food products in commercial packaging taken directly from grocery store shelves, and 2) analysis of food products and food simulants in contact with packaging or other material fortified with known quantities of a migrant. Discussions include the examination of migration testing methods, viability of different food simulants, and variables that affect migration behaviour. These include the physicochemical properties of both the migrant and food (i.e. volatility, molecular size, structure, food composition and particle size) and factors pertaining to the packaging material and the environment (i.e. temperature, humidity, and the presence of a secondary barrier). Information gaps and remaining questions are also identified and discussed.

Abstract: Objectives: In this study, we tested for moderation by neighborhood food outlet presence on relationships between food outlet shopping or meal sources and dietary intake. Methods: We used generalized linear models to analyze parent-adolescent (12-17 years) dyad data from the 2014 Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health and Eating. Questions included food outlet presence in home (parent) and school (adolescent) neighborhoods (yes or no), shopping at food outlets (parent) (never, rarely, sometimes, often or always), and sources of food consumed away from and at home (weekly frequency). We captured food and beverage intakes via a dietary screener. Results: Relationships between adolescent added sugar intake and scratch cooked evening meals and meals away from home were found only when grocery stores and fast food restaurants, respectively, were present in adolescents' school neighborhoods. Shopping at fruit and vegetable (FV) markets and scratch cooked evening meals were associated with the largest increases in parent and adolescent FV intakes, respectively. Meals away from home at convenience stores were associated with the largest increases in parent and adolescent intakes of added sugars. Conclusions: Neighborhood grocery store and fast food restaurant presence moderated relationships between meal sources and dietary intake only in adolescents.

Abstract: Grocery stores are important settings to promote healthier food and beverage choices. The present paper aims at reviewing the effectiveness of different types of in-store interventions and how they impact sales of different product category in real grocery stores. Systematic search was conducted in six databases. In-store interventions were categorized according to the framework by Kraak et al. (2017) into one or more of eight interventions (e.g., place, profile, portion, pricing, promotion, healthy default picks, prompting and proximity). This systematic theme-based review follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) data screening and selection. Thirty-six studies were included in the qualitative synthesis and 30 studies were included in the meta-analysis, representing 72 combinations of in-store interventions. The analysis demonstrates that interventions overall had small significant effect size (ES) using Cohen’s d on food purchase behavior (d = 0.17, 95% CI [0.04, 0.09]), with largest ES for pricing (d = 0.21) and targeting fruits and vegetables (d = 0.28). Analysis of ES of in-store interventions show that pricing, and pricing combined with promotion and prompting, effectively impacted purchase behavior. Interventions significantly impacted both sales of healthy and unhealthy products and significantly increased sales of fruits and vegetables, healthy beverage and total volume of healthy products. Results should however be interpreted with some caution, given the relatively low quality of overall evidence and low number of studies and observations for some types of intervention. Further research exploring impact on different in-store interventions and targeting especially unhealthy products are needed. The work was funded by Norwegian Research Council and GreeNudge as part of Helena Slapø Industrial Ph.D. Scheme.

Abstract: Purpose Although unfavorable pricing errors (UPEs) cost customers billions of dollars each year, research has not yet examined customers’ reactions to UPEs. This paper aims to fill this gap by examining customers’ reactions to UPEs in terms of frequency, magnitude and the interaction between frequency and magnitude. Also, this study explores the moderated mediating role of price consciousness. Design/methodology/approach Three experimental studies were conducted to examine customers’ reactions to UPEs in terms of frequency, magnitude and the interaction between frequency and magnitude. PROCESS Model 6 and 84 along with multivariate regression analysis and MANOVA were used to test the hypotheses. Findings The results show that high-frequency and high-magnitude UPEs lead to increased perceived deception and dissatisfaction, resulting in a higher negative attitude toward the grocery store, decreased re-patronage intentions and increased negative word-of-mouth (NWOM). Also, results show that regardless of customers’ price consciousness level, customers display negative reactions when encountering UPEs. Research limitations/implications This paper only investigates UPEs in the brick and mortar setting; future studies should examine UPEs in different settings. Practical implications The findings show that UPEs can cause significant problems for grocery stores. Thus, managers should take precautionary measures (e.g. constantly checking shelves) to ensure that the advertised price and the checkout price match. Originality/value This paper represents the first attempt to empirically examine the relationship between UPEs frequency and magnitude, on the one hand, and perceived deception, dissatisfaction, customer attitude, re-patronage intentions, NWOM and price consciousness on the other.

Abstract: Meal kits contain ingredients for cooking a meal that are pre-portioned, packaged, and delivered to a consumer’s residence. Life cycle environmental impacts associated with climate change, acidification, eutrophication, land use, and water use are compared for five dinner recipes sourced as meal kits and through grocery store retailing. Inventory data are obtained from direct measurement of ingredients and packaging, supplemented with literature data for supply chain and production parameters. Results indicate that, on average, grocery meal greenhouse gas emissions are 33% higher than meal kits (8.1 kg CO2e/meal compared with 6.1 kg CO2e/meal kit). Other impact categories follow similar trends. A Monte Carlo analysis finds higher median emissions for grocery meals than meal kits for four out of five meals, occurring in 100% of model runs for two of five meals. Results suggest that meal kits’ streamlined and direct-to-consumer supply chains (−1.05 kg CO2e/meal), reduced food waste (−0.86 kg CO2e/meal), and lower last-mile transportation emissions (−0.45 kg CO2e/meal), appear to be sufficient to offset observed increases in packaging (0.17 kg CO2e/meal). Additionally, meal kit refrigeration packs present an average emissions decrease compared with retail refrigeration (−0.37 kg CO2e/meal). Meals with the largest environmental impact either contain red meat or are associated with large amounts of wasted food. The one meal kit with higher emissions is due to food mass differences rather than supply chain logistics. Meal kits are an evolving mode for food supply, and the environmental effects of potential changes to meal kit provision and grocery retailing are discussed.

Abstract: Retail data are important for mango performance benchmarking because it allows one to compare years and observe trends. Mango sales data from US grocery store chains with more than $ 2 million in annual sales was collected and analyzed in 2014 and 2015. Data came from approximately 18,000 stores nationwide and represented fruit items sold in the produce department. A descriptive analysis of mango performance (volume, price, and sales) store‑1 week‑1 was conducted per region, quarter and year. Volume was measured by unit (one whole mango=one unit), price in dollars ($) per mango unit, and sales in $. Overall, retail fruit sales increased 3% in 2015. Mango sales store‑1 week‑1 increased 6% and mango contribution to the produce department increased slightly, maintaining the same position (#20) in fruit sales ranking, as in 2014. Mango volume store‑1 week‑1 increased 16% to 213 units after a decline of 13% in 2014, and the mango retail price decreased 8% to $ 0.98 each. In 2015, most sub-regions experienced mango increases in dollars and volume. The East North Central sub-region had the largest dollar increase, (13% to $ 173 mango dollars store‑1 week‑1), and the West South Central sub-region had the largest mango dollar contribution to department sales at 0.52%, up from 0.47% in 2014. The highest sub-regions, based on volume store‑1 week‑1, were West South Central, Pacific, New England and Mountain. East North Central was the sub-region with the greatest growth in volume with a 43% increase. All sub-regions except Pacific had a decline in average mango price. The West South Central sub-region had the lowest average retail price at $ 0.76 each and the Mid Atlantic sub-region had the highest average retail price at $ 1.22 per mango.

Abstract: This study identifies hidden classes of grocery shoppers and their choice of different items on different days of the week. Following the literature on consumer grocery shopping, three major groups of products are considered: food/drink, cleaning, and personal care. Applying Finite Mixture Modeling to a rich scanner dataset, latent classes of customers and their choice of grocery items on different days of the week are discovered and empirically validated. The model controls for consumer unobserved heterogeneity and demographic characteristics through mixing probabilities. Results uncover latent classes of grocery shoppers and their day of the week shopping day, their sizes, their product choices, mixing probabilities, and demographics. Findings offer retail promotion targeting guidelines for the identified latent classes in the food/drink, cleaning, and personal care groups. Analysis outcome provides marketing and managerial implications in identifying grocery store segments, handling store traffic, managing store promotion and pricing, and improving store layout.

Abstract: There is a persistent gap in math abilities between children from low socioeconomic (SES) families compared to children from high-SES families. Interventions to reduce this gap are often expensive and not easily implemented. This study examined the efficacy of a cost-effective intervention in grocery stores in order to try and increase the number of math-related adult-child conversations to increase children’s school readiness. We created and placed signs about general language and math in grocery stores in a low-SES neighborhood and a high-SES neighborhood that encouraged conversations between adults and children while shopping. Researchers used observational coding methods to see how these signs naturally influenced conversations. When signs that contained prompts to engage in math conversations were present there was an overall increase in conversations about math compared to the general language signs or when no signs were posted. When signs were present in the low-SES location, there was an increase in conversations about math between adults and children, whereas the signs did not have this effect in the high-SES location. This study demonstrates the benefits of implementing a cost-effective intervention in a natural environment that could increase math conversations and school readiness in children, especially from low-SES families.

Abstract: The 2018 Farm Bill was finalized in mid-December of 2018 after months of discussion and debate between policymakers. The Farm Bill has many implications for low-income and food-insecure populations in the United States. One program within the Farm Bill that helps bridge the nutrition gap for low-income Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participants is the Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive Grant Program (FINI). This commentary explores the best practices and promising findings of FINI projects to inform future policy discussions and implementation of FINI. In addition, we discuss knowledge gaps and opportunities within the context of the extant literature. Stakeholders and FINI grantees reported positive impacts of FINI grants, describing outcomes across farmers, grocery store owners, local economies, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participants (eg, increased fruit and vegetable consumption). The 2018 Farm Bill was largely in alignment with the Academy's recommendations, and preserved the integrity of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program as well as increased funding for FINI.

Subjects: Grocery store, Applied psychology, Intellectual disability, medicine, Community setting, General Medicine, Young adult, Psychology, medicine.disease, Grocery shopping, Brief Practice
Abstract: Using a multiple probe design, we examined the effects of least-to-most prompting to teach young adults with intellectual disability (ID) to locate and select items using a grocery list presented on an iPad. Sessions were conducted entirely in a community grocery store. The results indicated that participants learned to use an initial grocery list, with one participant demonstrating the ability to use a re-sequenced grocery list and a list with novel items. These results are discussed along with implications for practice.

Abstract: Catfish belong to the order Siluriformes and include both the Ictaluridae and Pangasiidae families. However, U.S. labeling laws require only species of the family Ictaluridae to be marketed as catfish. The lower production price of Pangasiidae, combined with changes in regulations over time, have resulted in high potential for species substitution and country of origin mislabeling among catfish products. The objective of this study was to conduct a market survey of catfish products sold at the U.S. retail level to examine species mislabeling and compliance with Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) regulations. A total of 80 catfish samples were collected from restaurants, grocery stores and fish markets in Orange County, CA. DNA was extracted from each sample and tested with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the InstantID™ U.S. Catfish Assay Kit for Ictaluridae spp. (InstantLabs). Samples that tested negative for Ictaluridae were tested with real-time PCR using the InstantID Asian Catfish Assay Kit for Pangasiidae spp. DNA barcoding was used as a final test in cases where species could not be identified with either of the real-time PCR assays. Overall, 7 of the 80 catfish products were found to be substituted with Pangasiidae species for a mislabeling rate of 9%. This included 5 of the 40 restaurant samples and 2 of the 32 grocery store samples. Additionally, 59% of grocery store samples were not compliant with COOL regulations. The results of this study reveal the occurrence of catfish mislabeling on the U.S. commercial market and suggest the need for continuous monitoring of these products.
