SpartanNash Continues Reimagined Family Fare Pilot in Michigan
As shoppers check out an array of new products and services, they can also enjoy lower prices. SpartanNash’s new customer value proposition, based on shopper insights and data, informed product pricing across the store.
“We gained valuable insights from the success of our Holland store concept and have incorporated those into our Sparta location,” said Bennett Morgan, EVP and chief merchandising officer. “Our goal with this project long-term is to continue listening closely to both our shoppers and associates, evolving and shaping the future of grocery shopping with solutions that truly meet the needs of the communities we serve.”
In addition to the Oct. 8 ribbon-cutting ceremony with CEO Tony Sarsam and Morgan, SpartanNash celebrated the enhanced store with in-store activities timed around Sparta’s Homecoming festivities in the afternoon and early evening on Oct. 11. The company also presented a $10,000 donation to Sparta Public Schools.
