The Innovation Conversation:  Reporting In From Groceryshop 2025

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

Today, Tom Furphy reports in from Groceryshop 2025 in Las Vegas, telling KC about the focus being put on AI and retail media, as well as how these two technologies can and will overlap in the future.  Plus, they chat about the possibility that AI could be approaching “bubble” territory, where the food industry has a use case with a distinct advantage (if it uses it), and how the continued growth of e-grocery is informing many of the discussions at the conference.

If you’d like to listen to this Conversation as an audio podcast, click and download below.

Note:  The continuing goal of “The Innovation Conversation” is to explore various facets of the fast-changing, technology-driven retail landscape and how they affect businesses and consumers. It is territory that Tom Furphy – a former Amazon executive who led the team that developed Amazon Fresh, and currently CEO and Managing Director of Consumer Equity Partners (CEP), a venture capital and venture development firm in Seattle, WA, that works with many top retailers, manufacturers, and technology companies – is uniquely positioned to address.

Apple picking at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 29th Street in Manhattan?  Not what I expected to find on a recent stroll down the avenue, but an organization called Farmlink managed to surprise and delight me, while offering a lesson in how to bring a little pizzazz to a fairly staid category.

FaceTime with the Content Guy:  The Odor of Fundamentals

Now is the time – as words like “stagflation,” “recession,” and “depression” get tossed around because of tariffs and resultant economic turmoil – when retailers start talking about “getting back to fundamentals.”  You can count on it.  Though you also can count on me offering a different point of view.

The Extended Food Problem Facing Low-Income Shoppers & Their Retailers

While this morning’s MNB FaceTime focuses on the positive steps that the food industry took to address the needs of their customers who depend, in normal times, on SNAP benefits, the New York Times looks at the degree to which many retailers are concerned about their own financial situations;  after all, if SNAP recipients are […]

Your Views:  “Amazed At The Lack Of Positive News”

Got the following email from an MNB reader regarding the proposal by Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate in the New York City mayoral race, that there ought to be city-run grocery stores to help struggling residents deal with high food prices: It’s ironic that Mamdani criticizes supermarket companies  for not opening in NYC while the city […]

FaceTime with the Content Guy:  Food Cred, Just Next Door

“Food cred,” in my view, is what food retailers need to have in order to compete effectively in a market that, weirdly enough, is both fragmenting and consolidating.  It is the thing that can provide a differential advantage against the competition.  And I found a great example of it at Wegmans’ now two-year-old Astor Place […]

FaceTime with the Content Guy:  When The Food Industry Stepped Up
