Food retailers of all sizes can play an important role in improving access to healthy foods in rural and urban communities. The Stock Healthy, Shop Healthy: Retailer Toolkit provides ideas on how the retailer and community partners can work together to build consumer demand and to increase the amount of healthy foods sold. Use the information and tools available in this toolkit that are most appropriate for your store’s capacity and customer base. To gain a better understanding of what it takes to work with community partners, check out the Stock Healthy, Shop Healthy: Community Toolkit (non-Missouri version).
The Retailer Toolkit can help you as a small food retailer to:
- Identify goals and strategies for increasing sales of healthy foods
- Strategically price and display healthy foods
- Promote and market healthy foods in your community
- Attract and keep loyal customers
- Build partnerships with community organizations that will support your efforts and promote your store
