Supermarket Economics

Listen Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2007 at 12:25 p.m. in Economy
Guest host: Matthew Felling

A generation ago, it was unheard of for supermarkets to have their own sushi chefs or nutritionists. Today, eclectic and high-end offerings are increasingly the norm, with grocery stores like Wegmans and Trader Joe's staking their claim in our region. That's putting pressure on chains like Giant -- and sparking unexpected controversy in some communities. Join Kojo as we examine the changing dynamics of the local supermarket industry.
