Retailer perspective: '10. A lot of us are stuck in shopping rut'
Retailers through the guidance of in-store registered dietitians can play a role in encouraging healthier eating/snacking habits among consumers by introducing shoppers to new food options coming into the store and “bust some myths they’re maybe seeing on Facebook or other social media outlets.”
Coborn’s Inc retail stores offer in-store consults and store tours to customers.
“It’s an opportunity for us to understand what is their lifestyle like? What are their snacking habits like? Are they on the verge of having those six smaller mealsor snacks per day?...The best part of our store tours is we get to show them all these new products coming into the store they have probably never seen before,” said Amy Peick, RD, LDN, supermarket registered dietitian at Coborn's INC.
