Checkout stands are commonly stocked in ways that target impulse shoppers with a sweet tooth but Raley's is committing itself to offering a redefined grocery experience that empowers consumers to make better choices.
The reimagined check stands at Raley's now feature 25% less candy offerings and more snack options that are centered around enhanced nutritional value, portion control, protein, reduced calories, sugar content and overall better-for-you items in comparison to conventional candy.
With these new checkout stands, Raley's aims to remind consumers that snacks and confectionery products with sugar should be seen as an occasional treat. Some of the items that can be found on these better-for-you check stands include familiar ones like chips, chocolate, beef jerky, nuts, as well as gum and mints, but all with a healthier focus than usual.
