Moderator Comment: Three questions:
- Is there a market for gourmet products across socio-economic
boundaries?
- How good a job do supermarkets do in discovering new
and unusual food items for their consumers?
- How can stores promote these products (including developing
their own store brands) to create a competitive point of difference in the
marketplace?
