There is no question that being in the retail food business today is quite a gamble. Whether you have been at the table for a long time or a short time, other players are constantly entering the game. As those new players come to the table, so do the setbacks, the market shifts, and the unexpected cards that get dealt because of it.

So how do you respond? What cards do you play?

Whether you're working on a long-term game plan to try to maximize profits for your retail food business with the cards you've been dealt, or working on regaining your position at the table, you have a partner in Mehmert Store Services.

We have experience and successful retail operations professionals on staff with the knowledge to analyze your current retail food operation and develop programs to provide you with the upper hand. Combining these talents and ideas, Mehmert Store Services is the "ace up your sleeve" that lets you raise the ante rather than fold your hand.

• Is your staff spending too much time away from customers counting tills in the cash office? We have a program that can help you take the hours you are using to count tills and put them back on the sales floor with your customers. And, our program will not sacrifice your cash over/short.
