"The food and hospitality industry is changing, almost daily! In some respects, they are merging together. As the Millennial Generation focuses on the convenience of prepared food, grocery stores and restaurants are both making changes to accommodate the tastes and preferences of these new customers. Meanwhile, they continue to respond to the needs of both the Boomers and Generation X.

"There are certain factors that will not change. Food safety and excellent, personal customer service are examples. These long-respected qualities will continue to be at the core of establishing loyal customers."
