The grocery industry is always sooo much fun.

…so you can make a decision on how to compete (or at least survive) against the biggest threat…
Tech-first companies who want to disrupt every step of the grocery industry.
…The Walmart’s… the Whole Foods/Amazons (

What happens when there are no more small markets you can own?
Longtime regional giants (the competitors you worried about 10 years ago… oh, those were simpler days) are declaring bankruptcy.
Individual store owners who “run the business like their parents and grandparents did” are selling… or simply closing.
And we have a choice… Fight… or die.
For every grocery business that doesn’t learn to modernize, there is a buying opportunity for businesses that can.
We can’t afford to hire an MIT Robotics engineering team to replace all of the employees with droids, so a modern grocery industry means one that runs on better data and optimized back office procedures.
Be honest with yourself…
Could your team handle purchasing another 10-20 stores from a failing competitor?
Can they handle the workload you are giving them now?
Be truly honest with yourself…
Are you confident in the data you use for (this-will-save-us or this-will-break-us) business decisions?
Should you be?
We have flown Kelly out to work with our team twice now. She has discovered ways to eliminate redundancy, increase accuracy, and reduce the time tasks require. Our team is very excited about the things they’ve learned in her training program and especially loved the hands-on computer lab.
We are also working together to develop dashboards that are yielding insights that we haven’t previously had, so we are now able to make more data-driven decisions.

My Name is Kelly Epperson
You should hire me because my 20+ years in the grocery industry means I have x-ray vision when it comes to the data needs and data flaws that are hurting your business.
The data processes and staff training I offer is the difference between…
…you feeling overwhelmed by numbers that don’t provide real information.
…your staff feeling defeated by mind-numbing, repetitive processes that could take minutes instead of hours (or days).
VS
…you confidently purchasing failing competitors that you can turn-around without stressing your staff.
…you being the go-to person your peers ask “How are you still growing after WholAmaMart (nailed it!) entered your market?”
