Here is brief summary of our feature stories.

In its 48-year history, B&R Stores has not only evolved with changing consumer expectations but it’s led the way in shaping them; it was one of the first grocers in the capital city to offer gas stations, scanners, a loyalty card and roll out 24-hour shopping. It’s evolving yet again with the addition of a catering division to its deli, bakery, pharmacy, grocery, video rental and gas lineup, and it’s garnering a competitive edge through another representation of its keen adaptability — the Special Buys Warehouse.
“The warehouse is a 35,000-square-foot building for special purchases, so we can buy even more of the hotter deals out there,” said Pat Raybould, president.
Raybould noted the Lincoln-based business can buy directly from the manufacturer when deals are offered on products from time to time, and this “warehouse of deals,” if you will, affords a boost for cost-conscious consumers as well as grocers benefiting from the customer gravitating toward these deals.

GreenField Direct plans to launch PipeBurst Pro in the Omaha, Lincoln and Des Moines markets during the second quarter of 2010, according to Scott Miner, chief operating officer. The company, located in Greenwood, Neb., was founded by Keith Ziegenbein in October 2009.
