Transition
Jr. Buyer role can be a cross
functional role with CMA duties
while building a category with
guidance from Sr. Buyers
Andronico’s can develop
the confectionary category
using Bottleshop methods
How it can work
Step 1
Purchase
Create unique factors like
evaluating local
chocolatiers, premium,
and specialty…
Step 2
Activate
Set up chocolate tastings
like the Bottleshop

how to taste chocolate

with a store employee at
each location to talk to
customers about product.
Step 3
Long Term
Brand the set. Just like
FitMarket, you can brand
the confectionary set, so
while people are
shopping they know they
can fulfill other needs.
