But we now have a bit of time behind us, and some strong patterns are emerging, indicating that the long-term outlook for grocery may have shifted permanently during the last six months. In this episode, experts share the forward-thinking approaches grocers are taking as they make the jump to focusing on exceptional user experiences, across both digital and physical properties. Joining us are Jacky Marolleau, grocery industry specialist and sales director at Manhattan Associates, and Steve Banker, VP of supply chain research at ARC Advisory Group. Our host is Chris Shaw.
