Buffet-Style Frozen Food Stores

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Store Exclusively Sells Frozen Foods for Convenient Cooking

— August 31, 2016 — Business
India's Amalgam Frozen Foods recently opened its first buffet-style frozen foods store for convenience-oriented shoppers. While most grocery stores have a frozen foods section, it can be hard for shoppers to find exactly what they are looking for. This store lays out its frozen foods in easily accessible coolers to improve the frozen foods shopping experience.

The new buffet-style frozen food store was opened in Kochi's Panampilly Nagar neighborhood. The store exclusively sells frozen foods such as seafood, Indian breads, curries and frozen meats. Part of the reasoning behind the frozen-only store was to prevent a loss of quality that comes from transporting frozen items. The store's unique layout also makes it easier and more convenient for shoppers to find the specialty frozen foods they are looking for.

With more than 100 different products to choose from, the store provides consumers with a high-quality outlet for purchasing frozen goods.
Trend Themes
1. Buffet-style Frozen Food Stores - Opportunity for grocery stores to create buffet-style frozen foods sections for convenient shopping and improved customer experience.
2. Specialty Frozen Foods - Growing demand for specialized frozen foods presents an opportunity for manufacturers to develop unique and high-quality products.
3. Frozen Food Transportation - Innovation in frozen food transportation can help maintain product quality and reduce losses during distribution.
Industry Implications
1. Grocery Stores - Grocery stores can adapt by incorporating buffet-style frozen food sections to attract convenience-oriented shoppers and enhance the shopping experience.
2. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturers can capitalize on the increasing demand for specialty frozen foods by developing innovative and high-quality products to cater to specific consumer preferences.
3. Logistics and Transportation - The transportation industry can explore disruptive innovations to improve the maintenance of frozen food quality during transportation and minimize losses.
