Like many produce people, we like to check out what different supermarkets and grocery stores do with their merchandising and in-store displays. 

Use the photos for inspiration, to compare strategies and get a broader perspective of what different types of retailers are doing in their produce departments.

And note: Sometimes we hold onto our photos for a while until the time is right. These displays were seen during a June 2022 store visit at the Amazon Fresh supermarket in Schaumburg, Ill.

Enjoy!
