PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - Jan 26, 2012) - Year after year retailers are in a constant battle to control prices and boost margins. The fear of losing traffic due to competition in this lackluster economy is kicking stores into high gear to find ways to cut costs while maintaining quality, improving efficiencies, and saving millions -- without increasing staff.
"Given the tiny margins that supermarkets typically generate as well as the tight economy and growing competition from a variety of formats, any opportunity for grocers to cut costs needs to be seriously explored," said Michael Garry, technology and operations editor of Supermarket News.
