For Valentine's Day, we had a "Heart Healthy" table at the Des Peres Schnuck's (aka, "Palace on Ballas") where we promoted heart health. It went very well! We gave away information on heart health and dark chocolates. We had a fish bowl of hearts with a question about heart health on one side and the answer on the back. We also had a display of various drinks and they amount of sugar in each. We handed out "heart healthy" dark chocolates. Lots of shoppers stopped at the table. Several had suggestions on other products they wanted Schnuck's to carry. The only complaint we had were that donut sales suffered due to our table being across from the bakery :)
We met Ed Croghan, who is working on a proactive community relations campaign in the Schnucks Des Peres area with the manager, Steve Ryan. He emailed to ask about supermarket nutrition, and our response was that supermarket dietitians help shoppers select, purchase, and prepare healthy foods, and also help shoppers prevent, detect, and manage health concerns. We know grocery stores overall goal is to sell more groceries, so we aim to implement health and wellness as part of a company's overall business strategy.
