All things fixtures with Alco's Jack Sjogren

We're delighted to welcome back to the podcast Jack Sjogren, sales director at Alco Designs, which specializes in fixtures. Jack recently joined Alco after nearly 20 years at Hillphoenix, where he was most recently the design center manager and provided expert perspective for retailers on lighting and refrigeration in various departments of the store, including produce. In this conversation, The Produce Retail Podcast host Ashley Nickle visits with Jack about how fixtures have been optimized for easier handling and easier cleaning; the versatility available in recent designs; the practical considerations of different finishes for fixtures; the role fixtures play in resets; how retailers can revive the look of a store without doing a complete overhaul and replacing everything; and much more.
