Supply chain services provider McLane Co. Inc. has landed a service agreement with The Kroger Co. to service the grocery giant’s 787 convenience stores located across 18 states, under the Loaf ‘N Jug, Turkey Hill Minit Market, Tom Thumb, Kwik Shop and Quik Stop banners.In mid-2016 I attended a so-called supply chain thought-leader summit where every other thinker in the room seemed sure that omni-channel marketing would be supported by omni-channel distribution centers. Instead what I seem to to see is a decentralization and specialization of distribution functions and strategies.... ala this Kroger deal with McLane.
Interim measures? Maybe. But ten-of-millions are being invested in these specialized capacities and capabilities.
