About the show

Formerly The Checkout, Grocery Nerds is the leading source for insider commentary and analysis on the $1.1 trillion U.S. grocery industry. Founded by 30 year industry veteran operator, analyst and O.G. Grocery Nerd Errol Schweizer, Grocery Nerds has four priorities: to demystify the grocery business, including pricing, market segmentation and business operations in the real world-not via academia or public relations B.S.; to platform and hear from essential, front-line grocery workers; to engage with emerging brand innovators and trend leaders; and to hear from independent and cooperative grocery operators on how they are surviving and thriving in this competitive, complex and cutthroat industry. So, are you a Grocery Nerd too? ]]>
