Over the last few decades, consumers have become busier and savvier. Grocery stores have responded to this change, evolving into more than just a quick place to stop and instead becoming culinary centers with chef-prepared meals ready for take-out and registered dietitians ready to answer shopper questions.<\/p>\n<p>Now more than ever, food retailers answer the new needs of their customers by implementing programs that teach consumers how to prepare nutritious dishes at home. According to\u00a0Family Speaks, a 2011 study conducted by FMI, 32% of retailers offer cooking classes in their stores &#8211; and that\u2019s not all!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>In-store chefs are all the rage!\u00a0<\/strong>The demand for chefs in grocery stores continues to grow. These chefs are hired to prepare high quality meals for shoppers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supermarkets do the prep work.<\/strong>\u00a0Whether it\u2019s marinating a pork loin or cleaning and chopping the vegetables, retailers have highly qualified cooks to perform these tasks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The relationship between grocery stores and consumers goes beyond the store floor.<\/strong>\u00a0The combination of social media, web, email and publications keep consumers informed about store offerings as well as offers, tips and quick recipes to prepare dishes at home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Food retailers go mobile.<\/strong>\u00a0Retailers like Hy-Vee, Giant, Wegmans, and many others have created apps that not only provide coupons, but allow shoppers to create and manage shopping lists based on recipes they plan to prepare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>What are you seeing in your grocery stores that make it easier to prepare meals at home?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This post was originally published on <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fmi.org\/industry-topics\/health-wellness\/expert-blog\/health-and-wellness\/2013\/02\/07\/food-retailers-make-it-easy-for-consumers-to-prepare-meals-at-home\"><em>Food Marketing Institute.com<\/em><\/a><em>.
