ARLINGTON, VA. - FMI – The Food Industry Association is hosting a webinar on Oct. 7 detailing the association’s findings from Food Retailing Industry Speaks, a survey of over 37,000 food retail stores.
The survey included operational and financial benchmarks, illuminates grocers’ strategic and tactical decisions and asked retailers to provide perspective on the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
