144. Retail Is Broken. Here's the Fix. With Mike Fogarty, Choice Market

144. Retail is broken—and shoppers are paying the price. Stores push what's on their shelves instead of listening to what customers actually want. That disconnect costs brands sales, retailers loyalty, and communities access to better food. In this episode, I sit down with Mike Fogarty, founder of Choice Market, a disruptive retail concept redefining grocery, convenience, and community. We unpack how shortening the supply chain, celebrating local producers, reducing food waste, and curating smarter assortments creates stronger margins and stronger neighborhoods. You'll discover how aligning with real shopper demand—not outdated retail systems—can unlock growth for emerging CPG brands and retailers alike. If you want your brand to win at retail, you need to understand how progressive retailers think.
