Food retailing: from farmers' markets to retail hybridization

This publication is dedicated to food retailing and its changing nature and why academics and industry practitioners need to understand it to predict new trends in consumption. This theme continues on from the publication of two papers in Volume 120 Issue 1 concerning food retailing – one by Stanton and colleagues and the other from Sahu et al. Taking into consideration the diversity of the food retailing system, both within and between countries, we have identified many subjects worthy of investigation. Accordingly, this publication will help readers to understand the history of food retailing, from corner and general stores, as the backbone of food retailing, via supermarkets and hypermarkets to the ability to order foods online. Moreover, it explains the reasons why informal markets (street markets, farmers’ markets or wet markets in Asia), flea markets and bazaars still remain an important part of life for many cultures.
