Sweetbay also introduced the private brand of Hannaford
(over 2,000 products) in the center of the store, along
with its own new Sweetbay private label in the fresh
departm ents.
In order to reinforce its price position, Sweetbay developed
and tested “Savings on the Spot.” This marketing program
is designed to show the customer exactly the amount they
save on over 2,00 0 item s throughout the store. This pro-
gram will be fully im plemented in all Sweetbay stores in
2006.
Moreover, to increase the effi ciency of its operations,
Kash n’ Karry/ Sweetbay successfully im plemented voice
technology, assisting with product selection in its gro-
cery and fresh distribution facilities. In partnership with
Hannaford, the Com pany also im plemented wireless
technology that facilitates inventory m anagement. A new
labor m anagem ent system was rolled out to all stores and
resulted in signifi cant productivity gains. The inventory and
m argin managem ent system ACIS/ PRISM, installed in
200 4 , led to strong im provem ents in inventory losses.
