Stop & Shop is amidst a multi-year initiative to improve the customer experience and rebuild shopper trust through price investments, a stronger private brand assortment, and a renewed focus on what their communities want on shelf. For emerging brands, that kind of structural reset creates real opportunity: new space, fresh eyes, and buyers looking for products that can help write the next chapter. Merchant leadership will speak directly on what’s different in their buying process, what it takes to get a meeting that matters, and how a founder with the right product can move fast in a banner that’s ready to move with them.

Jessica Pinty Groves will be moderating this panel.
