Webinar to Help Define Retail Foodservice Opportunities

NEW YORK, NY (Sept. 11) Training and coaching company SPEAK Foodservice has announced a series of Webinars designed to help companies in the foodservice channel better understand hybrid opportunities that exist across the aisle in retail. The first in the series, “Retail Foodservice: Defining the Opportunity,” is free of charge and takes place on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 1 p.m. EST.

The one-hour Webinar will feature guest expert Maureen Azzato, editor of Store Brands Decisions. Azzato, formerly publisher of Convenience Store News, will share research and insights gained from 20 years experience studying the needs of retail operators and opportunities within the segment for foodservice growth. She’ll discuss market size, growth potential, who the players are now, what products work/don’t work, what services are required, and who can cash in on the trend.

Subsequent Webinars will focus on the opportunities and challenges for distributors and manufacturers supplying retail foodservice operations. For more information, visit www.speakfoodservice.com. To register online, click here.
