In this episode, Liana Schreiber and Alex Groten discuss a pilot intervention in which public health practitioners provided technical assistance to managers/owners of small food retail stores in Minnesota in order to increase healthy options through a variety of strategies including minimum stocking standards. They help shift the perception that health departments' only function is to regulate the food retail space; public health can be a supportive, helpful partner to food retailers when co-creating an action plan on how to improve community health. Due to the partnerships and evaluation success, two of the stores were able to receive larger scale infrastructure grants.

One of South Africa's leading asset managers Jean-Pierre Verster shared insight into South Africa's food retailers from an investment angle. The big four food retailers – Shoprite, Woolies, Spar and Pick n Pay – are some of the country's most well-known brands. Pick n Pay was the first retailer to announce results following the July riots, with the unrest and associated costs negatively affecting its bottom line. Verster notes that a higher inflationary environment will hurt food retailers, leaving those with competitive advantages and pricing power better positioned to profit in the future. Spar's international expansion is discussed, with it having diversified into rather unknown territories. Lastly, Verster explains he is struggling to find value given the lofty valuations in the sector.
