Musgrave Retail Partners GB has announced its focus for the next at its first retailer conference since the completion of the sell-off of its stores to independent retailers.
Phil Smith, managing director of Musgrave Retail Partners GB, said: "Budgens is now a community of committed, independent, local, entrepreneurial retailers, which can really capitalise on consumer trends."
He said Musgrave Retail Partners will be focusing on: availability, price, value perception, effective promotions, growth in focus categories of alcohol, bakery, food-to-go, fresh produce, meat and deli, communication to retailers, refits, support and training for retailers and customer service culture.
Smith added: "Our focus will be on delivering the brand basics and building a culture of customer service. This is only another way of saying we will be making things simpler for retailers and better for shoppers."
Musgrave stated its aim to provide the best supply chain in Great Britain providing the support, quality, simplicity and consistency of service to allow retailers to grow their business.
It has also released a new recruitment training guide following trials with three Budgens retailers.
