Stores in Kroger's Central Division will see a lot more produce marketing efforts thanks to a new partnership with The Produce Mom.
In stores, produce departments will display The Produce Mom’s Produce Challenge, a monthly calendar that encourages shoppers to eat more fruits and vegetables and shop the entire department.
The division, headquartered in Indianapolis, will also feature the weekly Produce Mom Pick, a point-of-sale program that will be included in print, digital and social media marketing efforts.
Throughout the year, The Produce Mom will hold events at select stores that will focus on how to select, store and serve fresh produce.
