Grocery store industry
Article Abstract:
The grocery store industry has been following the example of drugstores and consolidating in the late 1990s, and most grocery chains are in an excellent position to expand with stronger balance sheets, as well. In addition, the offering of private-label brands and home-meal replacements has allowed the industry to increase profit-margins. There are several individual stocks in this industry, but prospects for the years 2000-2002 are only average.

Grocery store industry
Article Abstract:
Prepared (home meal replacement), private label, and perishable foods have increased gross margin expansion prospects for the grocery store industry in 1997 and 1998. However, the retail marketplace is going through fundamental changes and grocery stores are expanding services and products to meet new competition. The grocery store industry is not timely in 1997 and 1998, and investors must be selective before purchasing stock in this sector.
