Progressive Grocer: Consumers are more frequently choosing American-made products over less expensive foreign goods, according to a recent report by The Integer Group and M/A/R/C Research.
The promotional and retail marketing agencies found that shoppers have a continued focus on value, but there is a decline in wanting to shop around to save money. Additionally, convenience within the store is increasingly driving where consumers decide to shop. Easy-to-find items and a quick checkout both show an increase of eight percent from last month in a measurement of top priorities when choosing stores.
