The ever-shrinking center of the store
“We expect the center-of-stores to shrink and to play the smaller role of replenishment-style groceries. Services will expand: these may be associated with your food (e.g., filleting your fish) or ancillary services (e.g., key cutting or package collection). Overall, centers-of-store will shrink and edges-of-store will expand over time,” says Bernstein.
