South Mill Champs Mushrooms

Consumers are increasingly seeking convenience! Time-saving produce items, known as value-added, are becoming the norm for consumers who are looking for items that are convenient, quick, and easy to prepare! In fact, 42% of mushroom sales are value-added, such as pre-sliced, diced, cut, halved. At South Mill Champs, we believe this trend emphasizes the importance of balancing innovation with freshness. While convenience is critical, maintaining the quality, flavor, and versatility of whole mushrooms is key to ensuring consumer satisfaction and driving category growth. As we continue to refine our product offerings, we're here to support retailers in optimizing their mushroom category strategy to meet evolving consumer preferences. #ConvenienceProduce #MushroomsAtRetail #MushroomStats #Mushrooms

Eye-catching displays can significantly boost unplanned produce purchases, and mushrooms are no exception. 📈 With the right merchandising strategy, you can turn casual shoppers into impulse buyers, driving both sales and customer satisfaction.

A visually diverse display adds interest and draws attention. 2️⃣ Create Themed Displays: Leverage seasonal events to capture shoppers' attention. Pair mushrooms with complementary produce, like herbs or vegetables, for meal inspiration. 3️⃣ Use Recipe Signage: Include signs with simple, delicious mushroom recipes that encourage customers to try new things! This can transform browsing into buying, especially for time-pressed shoppers. 4️⃣ Maximize Visibility: Place mushroom displays in high-traffic areas, such as the perimeter of the produce section or near popular items like proteins, to increase exposure and interaction. Investing in dynamic and imaginative displays not only adds a touch of excitement to the shopping environment but also translates into increased sales and customer satisfaction.

Sales trends in fresh mushrooms closely mirror those of the broader produce category, and one thing is clear: pre-packaged items are leading the way! At South Mill Champs, we've observed the steady shift from bulk to fixed-weight, pre-packaged mushrooms across almost all retail formats. This trend, accelerated by the pandemic, remains strong as supercenters, club stores, and limited-assortment retailers increasingly focus on pre-packaged options. In fact, roughly 96% of mushroom sales today come from packaged products. Pre-packaged mushrooms provide a convenient solution for consumers, especially with the rise of self-checkout and online shopping. However, there is still a place for bulk displays to drive consumer engagement and impulse purchases. Well-executed displays can educate shoppers about the diversity of mushrooms—highlighting unique flavors, textures, and suggested culinary uses. We believe both formats play a role in meeting consumer needs and driving category growth. Let’s continue to innovate with a balanced approach to mushroom merchandising. #SalesTrends #MushroomsAtRetail #PrePackagedMushrooms #Mushrooms
